Check the menu and tuning knowbs to the defaults.

Check all you conections are seated correctly!

Was the monitor working fine using the component inputs. As far as I know (and I’m not a broadcast tech) you shouldn’t have to change to bias radically (may be different for NTSC), I’m in PAL land so maybe a little different but generally the picture should be close to normal.

The first monitor I bought from 2nd hand had a problem where one of the RGB colours was not working. Turns out the tube had to be replaced, luckly at the time (2008) I could still purchase a new tube from an international sony dealer. New replacement parts I believe would be very hard to come by now though.

I found the install fairly striaght forward but I had done 2 of these and did recieve some parts of a manuel when I purchased the SDI component from Ebay.

I’d call it a logical install but it may help you to have the manuel, which possibly you can find online.

There’s no audio unless you purchase the audio component also but I believe these are rare + if you only using to monitor from say a MB or AJA card via SDI, you audio monitoring should route through XLR to studio speakers! the PVM speakers are crap, would only use them to test audio on a dvd Video disk or so, but not for NLE editing.

If i think back to installing the card, there 1 x cabl plug, 1 x chipboard plug and a small plug that provideds power to the chipboard. If you send me photos I can highlight where the connections are

I don’t have the monitors anymore but if I remember correctly one cable routes to a chip in the central floor chipboard, the other routes under the front of the screen, then up and down to a plug on the opposite vertical chipboard!

I’m in a PAL country, Using a VHS machine that plays PAL or NTSC. Playing through a production monitor that plays PAL or NTSC.

I have the VHS machine set to auto format and it reads Pal for the pal for the Pal tape and NTSC for the NTSC tape. Same for the Monitor.

The original studio mastered tape is NTSC. The PAL tape has been run through a standards conversion at a broadcasters place.

When setup on the ingest suite as NTSC workflow, the NTSC tape displays fine.

When setup on the ingest suite as PAL workflow, the PAL tape displays stuttery black frames all through it

I worked it out,

My files didn’t have the (.mov) suffix in the file names under the Finder.

My batch export from FCP didn’t create files with a suffix. So i had to add this to the file name for Resolve to see these files in the Media Storage

– Would you really buy tape based products now!

– Is that a Nano Flash attached to the SR Portable recorder?
