[Avid-L2] Re: QC issues in SD Video? It just gets better ;-)

 

Totally unrelated I just received a QC failure for a digibeta claiming the Closed Captioning Flag missing at a certain time code. The has no closed captioning to begin with so WTF? Even the QC report says it's something about active video on line 20 and that it will be blanked on the dubs. To be honest I've seen that Closed Captioning type error on my Tek wrm 7020 on old and new firmware but I just shut those alarms off because I figured they were just erroneous. Perhaps there is some slight format issue with our A500 digibeta that would account for an anomaly on line 20. Tension, servo/ pg pulse a little out of speck maybe. Never had that flagged before and I've been using this machine for years. Probably time for maintenance on it.

My QC issues are not do to gamma shifts and are more based on misinformed Monkey information. My feeling is they get a lot more garbage now that they take files even though your still have to provide a tape backup in my experience most people don't scrutinize the file like they should. All things considered if the tape output is right the file should be too as long as the workflow has been determined to yield proper levels on the file. The bars on my file are correct it's just some overzealous concern about 7.5 IRE.

They are also using a Tek wfm 7120 so that's good. While on the phone the tech rechecked and basically agreed it was okay but said they would do a 2nd double check on their end.
