    We are attempting to recapture and upres from Betacam to finish a project, but are getting a weird split screen effect. Generally, there is a thin strip of video running horizontally across the top of the screen, almost like a synch bar. Sometimes it is much more pronounced, and occasionally, it will split the screen vertically, which is a dramatic, but not desired effect. I figured it was probably the Betacam machine, so I got another one in and same thing. This isn’t an HD project. It happens both with Media 100i lossless codec and Uncompressed 8bit. It feels like a reference video issue, but no amount of tinkering with reference seems to make a difference. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Thanks for any help.

    Thanks David. Yes, Genlock is connected and we’ve tried various configurations. The problem is intermittent and unpredictable, but we’ve found a workaround. Thanks for the response.
