By the end of testing last night and through doing what you were suggestion, SDI in and Out video was connected to the deck. Gen10 was connected to deck, Io and monitor (all 525i29.97)
I go to ETT light goes out, drag seq to assemble it starts and light stays out. After hooking up the Video in to the Io the problem of the video glitch is still there but not nearly as often.
I will see if I can test this out either tonight or tomorrow.

What is not being understood is why do I need a BBG if the deck uses incoming video to sync when I record and the Io uses Video In when I capture?
Why does the REF light on the Io ALWAYS turn off when capturing or ETT? Is this normal? or is this because the deck is in EE/PB, I just would like to get confirmation that “yes when you are capturing or going to tape you should not see the REF light on.”
Gary, yes I believe I have the Gen10 hooked up correctly, Deck, IoHD and monitor all set to 525i29.97 ( I also tried it with the IoHD output 5 set to 1080i29.97. But this all begs the question since the Io switches to SDI IN to genlock when capturing or going to tape.

OK, after reading your post and the pdf a couple times I think it is making sense, but it is getting late.
I guess that fact that the REF light on the IoHD goes out and stays out worries/confuses me. It seems like it some turn back on when it starts recording. Yes? No?
[Jeremy Garchow] “take the deck out of EE if it is in EE”
Would this not make the deck unable to record?Thanks again

I have just started looking at tape back up, one thing to think about is long term cost.
While a LTO-3 (what I’m looking at) is about $2300 but the 400GB tapes are $40 where as the VXA 160GB tapes are $55. Plus the LTO looks to be about 3x faster.
800GB – (5) VXA = $275 vs. (2) LTO = $80
Just food for thought.

The deck is a Sony DVW-500A, I have looked at that panel and on I see is the OUT REF.
I put a call into AJA, my man concern/confusion is why I’m I losing REF when going into ETT (or Capture)

Jeremy, thanks for your help with this problem, greatly appreciated.
Do you think it could be a bad Io? The Io is set to Ref In and is seeing 525i29.97 (I have set it to 1080i and same thing happens) Control Panel and Ref light are where it should be as low as either ETT or Capture windows are not opened. As soon as either are the blue light goes out and the CP switches to SDI IN.
Not sure how to set the REF IN on the deck, there is something for OUT REF but I’m no longer using the loop through on the deck. Also the IoHD has a terminator on it and the decks 75 ohm is turned on.

Yes, but tell me if I’m correct here, the deck, IoHD and monitor are connected to the Gen10 set to SD 29.97.
Okay I’m not sure if this has happened before (I’m pretty sure I would have noticed it, but you never know with me) Ref light on front is on with FCP not running and with it running. As soon as I go to ETT the blue light goes off. So I set the layout up so I could see the AJA Control Panel when FCP was the active app. When ETT is launch the Ref in Display in the CP changes from Genlock: Ref In – to Genlock SDI In 1 (which there is nothing connected)

Think I have more ? with the more things I try. Hooked up my Gen 10 instead of using the house ref. It seemed to start off better and then get worse. The video trouble is it seems to be going back a frame every now and again – like playing 1,2,3,2,4,5,6,5 but it is stay in sync so those frame as just to help explain it.
It does seem like restarting the Mac is fixing it for a bit. But I cannot figure out what is triggering it, once it starts it starts happens every few seconds.
This is a bit frustrating since it is taking forever to get a clean master and confidence is not very high.

gremlins?
what about seeing if Restart automatically after a power failure,
I wouldn’t think it would start up a computer that was off when/if there was a power interruption

the MBP will drive the 30″ monitor.
The biggest issue sometimes is monitoring (Broadcast) and storage but there is the IoHD and the MXO2 looks like a winner, the MXO is out if you plan to use the external monitor. But there are ways to make it work. For storage there are Express 34 cards for eSATA or FW800 that will work when you get back to the edit bay.
BTW my 1st gen MBP is neck and neck with the g5 Quad and the new MBP are a lot faster.
