I don’t see any PSF options.

[Jeremy Garchow] “I selected the AJA kona 8 bit to dv50 easy setup, and made a new sequence. I changed the clips field order to ‘none’ and droppped it in the timeline, then with the timeline selected, I hit command-0 to bring up the seq. settings and changed the field dom to ‘none’ there as well.”
I just repeated this. When I changed the sequence field dominance to “none” it made an immediate improvement in the FCP canvas but none whatsoever in the Kona SDI output.

No, I’ve got an hour or so of this 30p footage that will end up as six 30 second ads. The aliasing isn’t so noticeable in all the footage, but in some shots, like this one, it’s not pretty.

I checked it out on a CRT and it looks the same. I’ve spent many hours in front of both the BT-LH1700W and the BT-LH2600W with SD material and I’ve never had a reason to be dissatisfied with them. They are easier on my eyes than a CRT as well.

[Jeremy Garchow] “The only way I can get the footage to alias is to turn my rt settings to medium.”
The aliasing does get worse when I go to the “medium” setting, but “high” doesn’t make it go away.

What is your video format setting in the Kona Control Panel?

Just tried… no difference. Thanks so much for your help, BTW!

[Jeremy Garchow] “As long as your field dominance matches your seq. field dominance, you should be fine.”
I should be fine, but instead I’m horrified the aliasing I am seeing. I haven’t seen anything similar in all the 720p 24 stuff that I have shot. The odd thing is that the output remains the same from the Kona (aliased) no matter what my field dominance settings are. The only thing that changes is the quality in the viewer and canvas.
[Jeremy Garchow] “Also, remember you are playing back SD footage on an HD monitor. That could account for some image degradation as well.”
The Panny monitors do a great job, IMO, of display both SD and HD and I have a good grasp of what it should look like.

Matthew,
Now that you mention it, after changing the clip and sequence field dominance settings to “none”, the video in the viewer and the canvas looks perfect. But, the video being output via Kona LHe SDI does not change. It still displays the aliasing problems. This leads me to believe that the problem lies with the Kona. I may have to take this up in the Kona forum. Thanks so much for your troubleshooting help!

Those are my exact settings.
