LHe does have composite out, BTW. You have to convert the Y output to composite in the control panel. That might be simpler than dealing with the complications of the UVW deck.

remove the blackburst from your UVW. Use a short BNC cable and connect the 2 ref ports. The deck will read sync from itself. Should get rid of the rolling bar.

This is completely frustrating. I’ve tried everyone’s suggestions and I still get an unstable picture. The closest I came to fixing the problem was to run separate blackburst signals to both the deck and the Kona card. It got rid of the NO REF alarm, but the composite video out image still will not lock. This has to be a deck malfunction. Thanks everyone for your suggestions.

Including bypassing the deck altogether?

And did you record anything? The picture should be stable even it might preview that way.

It’s not a malfunction, it’s that deck.

You’re right Jeremy, it is that deck! of course I can bypass the deck, but my BOB only has one component out, which is tied up feeding the beta deck. The only other video out I have is SDI. It’s very limited as you can see, so I would need to buy a DA converter to go from SDI to S or composite to fee my DVD recorder. those converters are a lot of money, I wanted to loop my NLE output through the deck using the composite out to the DVD recorder. Seemed to make a lot of sense, but the stupid deck won’t lock in, even with reference feeding it.

So I think this is the final chapter of my posting. Stupid deck!

Simply unhook the component out from your deck or BOB and stick it in to the DVD recorder. It’s really easy. You can get yourself a patchbay to make the easier in the future. You don’t need a DA. Have you tried S-Video?
