huh. looks like that gamma problem that seems to pop up all the time – especially with people using blackmagic codecs. depends on his setup. i’d recommend doing your own test.
I’m a little confused on the particulars – but I would copy the MPEG-2 setting, and switch the field order. so instead of evens, or automatic, have it go on the odds.
Turn off your Kona 2 in A/V settings and see. It does kinda look like a SDI lock gone wrong, but why would you see it in the FCP windows? Also try RT Safe, and switch around your Video Processing mode…. it shouldn’t be doing that at all!

in reply to: 10bit or 8bit
95% of the time 8 bit is totally fine. 10 bit will give you a bit of extra color fidelity – but unless you’re doing greenscreen or have lots of gradients in your spot – I wouldn’t hesitate to use 8 bit. But heck, if you’ve got the drive space, just do 10 bit and you never have to second guess yourself.
