Ok, so I’ll put it like that: What software can I use to create a LUT that would enable the HDLink Pro to correctly display LOG-C footage from a Arri D21 to a HD-SDI REC709 monitor?

This is clever. So you can mount it on one side and still have space on the other for hard drives. I saw this one but too muc lost space in a 4U portable rack.

Actually Decklink drivers don’t work with Fusio 5. If you open the panel in Fusion prefs it crashes. It’s a known issue and BMD knows it. They are working on it. Here is part of the email i received:

Currently there is a bug with Fusion support and it is currently not
working. There was a big change in the code to accommodate a bunch of
different things and one of the unforeseen side effects was that it broke
the Fusion support.

You take two output from a three level sync generator set to 1080i59.94 and plug one in the deck hd ref input and the other in thé kona ref input. I use an avenue rack with a tls card that has four independent generators.

You have to set it to 720p59.94 if you want the Kona to do the uprez. If you set it to 1080 29.97, you will only get a still of your first frame as FCP won’t be able to do the upconvert. By setting the video playback to 720p in the VIEW menu and the output to 1080 2997 in the Edit to tape windows, the Kona will enter the upconvert mode.

Thanks, it went pretty well. I only damaged one connector before I got it right. Both the SRW-5500 and DVW work fine on 160 feet of RS-422 to the offline station on the other side of the building.

I also installed a 3G ready AVP patchbay. All that’s left to install is a RJ-45 patchbay to send the vectorscope/waveform VGA monitor output to the online rooms. I bought 6 eight inch iKan monitors. They work very well for that purpose.

And the answer is yes you can! And this is very cool. So here is how:

1- Work in a DVCPRO HD 720p23.98 sequence
2-Put your video playback output to AJA Kona 3 720p 59.94 8bit

3-In the EDIT TO TAPE window, put the DEVICE CONTROL to AJA Kona 3 29.97 VTR B
4- In the EDIT TO TAPE window, put the Capture Input to AKA Kona 3 1080i29.97 10 bit

5- Your HDCAM deck and Kona must be referenced at 1080i59.94
6- Black the tape enough to do an assemble
6- Set an in point and drag your 720p 23.98 timeline to the EDIT TO TAPE window ASSEMBLE sliding menu and VOILÀ!

I use the ADA4 AJA mini converter for that purpose. It works fine:

Ok but was it the source? You want TCBI or a timecode track? What are you using to do the Quicktime?
