Problems exporting through AJA IOHD
I’m working on a MacBook Pro with FCP 6.0.3 , using an AJA IOHD to a aj-HD1700 Panasonic deck … 720p … everything plays back fine on the MacBook, but when I try to export through the AJA IOHD, I’m getting massive feedback-like video … i have an HDMI output from the AJA to an HD monitor and SDI out from AJA to HDSDI in to HD1700 … both the mini lcd monitor on the deck and the HD monitor are receiving the same bad signal. I’m a newbie with both the FCP and the HD1700 (transitioning from Avid). Any ideas?
Thanks,

Sounds like the deck is set to record at 1080i.

The display on the deck says playback and record are set for 720p. Even when I disconnect all the cables from the deck and only feed the monitor from the AJA, I’m having the same bad video signal.

I don’t have a AJA IOHD but on the control panel software for the Kona cards you can override the FCP settings and output a secondary output to the primary HDSDI out. Maybe it’s there. The 1700 sometimes gets confused when you feed it an SD signal just like the SD DVCPro machines don’t like it when you send them HD.

After adjusting some settings on the deck, the video is now stable… but not getting any audio from the AJA to the deck (using HD SDI) … audio settings on deck are at INT SG, which should be the proper setting for audio via the HD SDI. Tested AJA directly to a monitor and the audio is there. Baffled.
Thanks for the responses.

INT SG means “internal signal generator” as in Black or Bars.
Make sure it says HDSDI as well.Jim Calahan

Solved! You were right… I thought INT SG was the proper setting because HD SDI lit up when I had it on, and the only other options were DIG and ANA. I didn’t know about the DIN setting on the audio menu (DIN 12, DIN 34, etc). The DIN was set to the factory preset of AES. At this point, audio channels 1-8 didn’t give me the HD SDI option. When I changed the DIN input to SDI, then I was able to see the HD SDI option on channels 1-8 the HD1700 VTR. I then changed those setting to HD SDI and I was good.
Thank you for your time and help!
