Looks like it only happens to V7 files opened in V8 if you don’t have reel names. New V8 project import files well. Thanks!

Grace is expensive. Dangerous Music also mades a 5.1 system. I was looking at Coleman Audio SR5.1 mkII. (Didn’t end up getting it). If you don’t need suming it looks like it could do the trick for around 1,000.
Some monitoring systems have this built in. The Digital JBL’s maybe with the remote (they mute/control volume from software, remote and speaker face). I think Blue Sky as well.
On the low end (I have done this to test output on consumer QC setups) you can take 50 ohm BNC AES outputs and go directly into Discreet Digital RCA ins of consumer amplifiers.
You could also program digital mixers (like the Yamaha 01v96 with additional routing outputs) to control it. Gets pricy.

Please do post your solution.

You will find that most people run Belden 1505A in a situation like that. I terminate with Trompeter UPL2000 connectors. You may find that you want to pull your cable (inwall?) before terminating. If you pulling cable, don’t under do it. If it is for an edit bay think about pulling cable for monitoring as well as sync and IO.

The HDCAMSR 5800 with the dual link HQ board will support double speed. Sony’s standard dual link option cards (earlier SR decks and the 5800 with the standard dual link card) do NOT support double speed. My understanding is that you need a either dual link or a 3G connection to handle DS video. That would rule out the HDW1800. I also called aja support looking for tested results and they had none. If anyone has the 5800 with HQ dual link board, please report.

The HDMI out of the T1i is not full frame / full res so you do not want to capture the HDMI as source. Take a look at cinema5D.com and Philip Bloom’s blog for more T1i / 5D info.

Note quite sure I completely understand your issue… But if the black frames are at the head or tail of the capture it is likely a tri-level sync issue. We have Kona 3, Kona 2 and just about every version of Decklink card. Although I understand that both manufactures lock to incoming video for all capture we have seen issue with additional black frames on decklink cards when capturing with out lock. Particularly with windows XP and the older decklink cards. Are you using Media Express? We have the same issue on our SR and HDCAM.

Just reseated the card. All is well.
Thanks-

No hardware or software changes. We were up and running. Did a capture. 30 min later someone put in a new tape to log. Opened the capture window and it was done. (we have tried many tapes and decks since) I have tried the same project as well as new projects. We have shuttle commands but no tc or ‘deck com’
We have tried new cable.
Thanks for your help. We need to get to the bottom of this asap.

HD Cam as a format is really 8-bit but it helps your graphics to work 10-bit. You can also push the color of a 10-bit capture of HDCam better then a 8-bit capture.
Truth be told I tend to do long format HD from HD Cam source in 8-bit and short form and graphic heavy work in 10-bit.

You guys are a trip…. Someone help the guy out, on the spectrum of this board the questions its not unreasonable.
1st- No problem on capture because the Kona card ignore genlock on capture and locks to incoming video regardless of kona control panel settings.
2nd-Pano decks are a bit different in menu options if you have never used them. (ya, ok move beyond that) It sound like the Deck is looking for house sync and you also need to make some TC changes. Genlock is important but in a 1 deck and 1 system setup without genlock your sync should only be off by up to 1 frame. Not on big jump like reported, turn to your deck settings and perhaps you deck control protocol.
ON the compressed debate, compare pulling keys off HDCam to Direct to Disk or log files and you will never argue that HDCam is uncompressed again. Its worse then DBeta.
