[Avid-L2] Reference for HDCam and Mojo DX

 

L’ers

 

I know a lot of you have direct experience with HDCam and HDCam SR decks in your regular workflows.  Here’s the issue. 

 

A client has an Ensemble Designs BrightEye reference generator that is feeding standard analog sync / black burst to a set of Harris DA cards in a frame.  That signal is then distributed to all decks and Avid editors (PC, z400s, 420s and 440s, Win 7, MC 8.4.x, Mojo DX).

 

Seems to work great on all SD decks as well as the Panasonic DVCPro HD.  The HDCam decks however see a discrepancy between the reference it is receiving and what is carried in the video fed from the Mojo DX interfaces.  This is not always clear cut, confusing the editor/dubbers.

 

The setting for this is in different places on the one SR and two HDCam decks.  It needs to be set back if the deck is to be used as a source.

 

My understanding is that tri-level sync is only required if you are doing something other than 720p and 1080i.

 

Thoughts, suggestions to resolve this?

 

TIA.
