End goal:
HD DVD playout to a Ross Synergy 2 MLE Multi Def switcher. It’s output is set at 1080i 29.97. Idea is to make use of the cross conversion the LHi can do for us, instead of using up another of our AJA HDMI to sdi converters, and add no more wiring, by utilizing our current playout mac xServe w/ aja kona card.
How we typically playout a hd video:
Via a Isilon IQ NFS share, we playout using AJA Tv, to a AJA Kona LHi card, in a intel xServe. This is hooked up to the Ross Synergy switcher, via sdi, at 1080i 29.97. We use DVCPro HD 1080i. The card is synced via a ltc through the rs-422 input, which is fed by sdi to rs-422 converters. We have ltc coming in to the ref in over sdi fed from a averts gps timecode clock. This all works day to day.
What I would like to do:
Connect a Pioneer Bluray dvd deck (max res is 1080p can do 1080i, 720, 480, outputs are HDMI out/composite/component.) to the AJA rack breakout, in through it’s HDMI in, use the card/software to cross-convert (my mistake on saying down convert earlier) to 1080i 29.97, and playout to our Ross as we normally would play a video, off of our Isilon storage.
I tend to over explain, hopefully this is helping you get a idea of what I’m doing/tried/going for. thanks for your time and thoughts!

correct. That’s just what the text reads in AJA Control panel for gen lock when I select VTR xChange.

i have but I will check it again tomorrow. I think the issue is where the software while on hdmi input, selecting vtr xchange, sets the timecode to hdmi in, but I’ll have to see if freerun helps.
I remember in the past, if we played a video out, from the same xServe, and it was on freerun our sync would spaz and the switcher would get a horizontally cut picture. ie bottom part shows up at the top etc.

yes, i am recording in DVCPro HD.
also i tried trashing the qt and qt plugin prefs on all 4 machines, to no avail.
aja’s site seems to be down but i would like to try a firmware update. any other suggestions or trails i could try would be awesome. i’ve uninstalled all the aja software and re downloaded it, hasn’t changed anything.
