Re: DG System Back Level
by Craig Seeman on Oct 31, 2007 at 2:32:29 am

My sources are digital too. Usually DVCAM although I'm moving to XDCAM in the near future.

MPEG2 Program streams are usually upper field first so I just switch that in my Episode template for DG and it works. DG will contact you if they see an issue. They'll go through a testing procedure (upload 5 good test spots) before they let you start using the system.

The odd thing when I started testing with Pathfire with MPEG2 Transport streams (owned by DG now) they spotted the field switch "judder" and told me it was OK to keep it lower field first.

For black I just cheat my digital source up to the equivalent of 1 IRE (thinking 0 might trigger something on their side) and it passed through. My spots looked good so I've stuck with that setting.
