Re: What causes wavy lines in Betacam SP footage over black areas?

Hi,

Thank you for responding, I am pretty desperate and on a very tight budget.

I am not sure how many hours are on the "heads of the cameras"? They are docked to PVV-1A backs, do you means the number of houyrs on the heads in the PVV-1A backs? How do I read the hours on the PVV-1A backs?

The company I bought them from said that they had tested the cameras and adjusted them and the picture quality is fantastic! Extremely sharp picture on both cameras except for light white lines at a 45 degree angles that seem to be flowing across the screen. I think these lines are across the whiole screen but you can only see these very thin white lines when they are over an area of black on the screen.

I have a Media 100i non-linear editing system which has a vectorscope--I cfould take the composite output from the camera and put it into the vectorscope in the Media100i but what would I look for?
