Hello
We are trying to capture HDV material using the Miranda HD-Bridge, but
the picture gets offset verticaly once captured. It seems the DS had a
problem syncing the Miranda ouptut.
When we do a Live capture, it captures fine, all synced up. It's the
Tape capture (batch capture) that is problematic. Batch capture is
supported with the Miranda and our workflow depends on it...
When we playback from the HDV camera, our HD-SDI monitor display a
correctly synced picture at all time. This monitor is hooked up to the
HD-SDI output of the Equinox. I'm not sure if the monitor itself
corrects the sync, or if the sync problem lies between the BOB and the
PCI card.
Tape capture works fine with our Panasonic HD130, so it's between
Miranda and DS.
Also, since we updated the firmware of the Miranda to 2.04, the RS422
control seems erratic: it starts to play, then stops. We have to hit
play 3 times before it plays correctly.
So my question is... is there anyone using a Miranda HD-Bridge
sucessfully with an Equinox-based DS? Miranda tech support told us
that the HD bridge was only tested with Nitris....
Also, we do not have a tri-level sync, only a SD blackburst generator.
We have tried disconnecting it from the Equinox.
Thanx,
