Was wondering if anyone have noticed that Big10Media is closed, and owner Billy DeCola has split to Japan? Anyone sitting back with warranty problems because of this?

Thanks for the reply guys,

Rennie, those are interesting thoughts. But if the image is overexposed I would think that the in-camera whitecutter would bump down the whole signal, and not distort it as it is now.
I upgraded to the HPX500 from a Sony FX1, and I’ve done hundreds of shots like this on the FX1 without ever seening anything like this.
I would be shocked if a better and more expensive camera like the HPX500 would not be able to handle such shots. At the TV-station I work, I daily see footage from ambulance chasers, shot with really cheap cameras – And I’ve never seen this before.

In Avid – thru Mojo – I get the same image.

Jan – I guess that could be the problem. But again I would find it very shocking if the HPX500 can’t handle something that the FX1 can do problem free.

I’m goning to do some more test:
Shoot same situation in different formats, with different lenses and exposures.
Check sync signal compared to waveform numbers.

I’ll report back here.
