If the sparkles move, then it can be a variety of items but you can almost be sure it isn’t content and or creation related.
Check your cables between the Kbox and Kona.
Check your SDI cables to the monitor/deck
Check the kbox (in other words bypass it all together)and even a firmware issue could cause this. Have you updated anything latley?
Anyway, if all else fails call AJA support

Don’t forget to add that you can push ANY colorspace down HDMI and DVI you can not!
So start with the content, is it higher than 8 bit 4:2:2? If it is then, guess what, it won’t look the same no matter what you do.
If it is only 8bit 4:2:2, then move onto the next issue to rule out.
Best of luck

A disk drive recorder (that does more than the traditional DDR)
* We use the AJA boards in our solution and have written our own driver for them.

Mathieu,
We can apply this in either place in Rave, but this may depend upon the application your using the Kona in. Some applications do not allow for work in extended range, therefore putting it on the the output will be moot, since the stream before it will be squashed (that would be bad).
In Rave since we support full range DPX files, we prefer to apply this on the output so that the data is kept pure.

Just making sure everyone else knows 🙂
simple. ha!
The recorder can’t magically sync images, so yes it is important that everything be genlocked together arriving at the recorder. In the case of the Red, you can have genlock at the sensor level and not at the SDI output level, so that is an added headache.
Phase is soooo important in stereo. If you simply have images that are out of sync (one eye written, before the other) that you can deal with as long as it is consistent BUT you could also have out of phase, where the lines in the frames are not in sync. That is a much harder issue to deal with and can not be used in stereo. This is called temporal disparity (causes kinda a wobble up and down, is the best way I can describe it)
And yes, the RED will give you that also on some set-ups.
We will be showing all this off at next weeks demo since we have the ability to demonstrate what all this looks like with using our 3d Live solution.
Gary, hope you can make it.

Hello,
Jon Thorn pointed me to this thread in response to a demo we have coming up next week. If your interested in AJA products and Stereo, then you won’t want to miss this event
https://www.spectsoft.com/RaveManual-MayDemos.html
We will have several camera rigs in the mix and lots of toys!
Recording will be into a stereo Rave (as dual 4:4:4), we use AJA boards
Live 3D monitoring (Product is called 3d Live) and we use an AJA board there
Real-time 3D ProRes proxy recording, using the new KiProHope to see some of you there.

Since most systems that record stereoscopic for this are using what is called Dual Stream- where the device is capturing 2 distinct single link 4:2:2 video streams into the same source recorder -the vast majority being Sony SRW1 decks that are configured specifically for that purpose or with other DDRs like RaveHD or Stwo handling the streams in that same manner and do not require nor need genlock.
Gary,
First off, the Rave can do up to 2 stream of 4:4;4 🙂
and soon up to 4 streams of 4:2:2 🙂 🙂A single AJA board yields us 2 streams of 4:2:2, 2 boards sync’d (and yes Genlock is important) yields 2 streams of 4:4:4
Genlocking is not important when we are in independent dual I/O mode. That is where each device is handled or being used independently by different users. However each Rave virtual vtr is usually genlocked to the device(deck) that it is connected to.
In the world of stereo genlocking and phase sync is extremely important. Try it without it and your eyes will be ripped from the sockets….

RamonaFYI – There is a new Stereosopic forum on the cow, this thread would be perfect for it.

The SDI to HDMI converter (Hi5) has been out a bit, thus the need for the confirmation. The manual makes no mention of which HDMI spec is being used.
We all must learn to question and research for the facts, even if information is coming from our friends 🙂
Good information is hard to find BUT bad information spreads like wildfire.
NEVER assume that something is correct because “it should” follow a standard. Ha….we know those rules are being broken left and right!
AJA is fortunately one of the companies you can turn to, to get accurate information with what they are doing.

If it is being used in a product like the RaveDi that offers real-time scaling 🙂 then you don’t have monitoring worries.

Keith,
If you don’t want to muss around go with the K3 and an AJA SDI to HDMI converter.This way you get all the features you need, when you need them. Yes it is more $, welcome to the world of professional workflows.
The LHI is a cool board but what is really needed is the K3 with HDMI. So work around it and add two of their great products together 🙂
I would make a call AJA and confirm the converter supports the higher HDMI spec so that you can shove 8, 10, 12, 16bit down the connection to match what the K3 can give you……
DO NOT TRUST ANYONES MARKETING INFORMATION (many market 10bit plus support. but they use a lower HDMI spec. That is because they support 10plus in only on the SDI side, so they are only telling half the truth, making it all ok….NOT)
