Hi Charles,

the AJA FS1 and the For-A DCC-70HS have similar functionality. If you read the user manuals of these items, you’ll notice that both are very similar. The For-A DCC-70HS of course has the For-A DCC-OU remote unit which if used, should theoretically make color changes easier. Now, the For-A DCC-70HS user manual does not indicate what…

Hi Charles, I would not replace the fuse size, as the 13A fuse is associated to the cable wire gauge. I would just use those c13 power cables as is.

Hello Charles, if you are in the UK, this would be the item:

It’s called a UK Mains Plug to IEC C13

Perhaps this is a CODEC issue? I would try to figure out which timeline items may have originated from cell phones, if any, or similar devices that record in Long GOP (long group of pictures) and export those out first as Apple ProRes 4:4:4 16–bit. Then use those ProRes files on the timeline instead of the Long GOP versions. That would s… Read more

Hey Mads,

I’m going to check your suggestions out and I’ll let you know when I have results.

Hey Mads,

The change made no difference. With or without Tri-level Sync the issue remained.

Hey Mads,

Thanks for your thoughtful suggestions. Indeed, I do confirm it is setup as 4:2:2 1080i at 29.97 fps and the Digital Betacam tape also plays back at 29.97i fps. The machine is up converting the standard definition images correctly also to 4:2:2 1080i at 29.97 fps. The sync is Tri level sync at 29.97i and the SRW-5800 is setup to sync to…

Hey Mads,

I really appreciate your insight. I had reviewed that item on the menu many times and I do confirm that menu item 212 is on default, [MAN] “The recorder is not forcibly switched to E-E mode.” The machine is presently not connected to any other video machine in any way.

At the end I figured perhaps a physical switch in some internal car…

I have a question related to a SONY SRW-5800 video recorder from 2010 and was wondering if anybody here has experienced the curiosity I’m about to explain. It appears there’s an undocumented feature on this SRW-5800, this one has a serial # higher than 12000, that makes or turns the Phones Out as an EE out, and that all the time. Even when the…

Yeah, I had seen that user manual before but the links inside are dead. They just take you to Grass Valley’s website.

Hello Cow folks,

Do any of you have a copy of the Snell & Wilcox RollCall Lite software version 4.4 or its update? It was free to download when Snell existed but now I can’t seem to find a working download link. Thanks

Hello Charles,

You asked: “can you use the AJA Ki Pro as a pass-through and export through the HDMI output?”

Answer: You would have to test that to see if that is possible, but the answer is, probably yes.

Since the AJA FS1 has a S-VHS connector, all you need a fine S-VHS cable between the FS1 and the JVC SR-S388E, like this one…

This is one way of doing what you seek. You would connect the video signals to an AJA FS1 converter and you would get a standard definition or HD video interlace SDI video out. You would then capture that stable video signal with an AJA SDI capture device such as an AJA Io X3 or you would record those sequences to an AJA Ki Pro Ultra 12G video…
