Field and Sync Problems

I've installed the latest Software and Firmware updates in my SD Connect.
I am running Kona 2 and FC Studio 2 in my G5 trying to capture from a BetaSP component setup. Everything runs from the same sync generator.
I am having weird sync and field problems that are new to a pretty rock solid setup.
I'm running in Stand Alone mode.
I simply cannot get the video in sync with my system and i had to change the PRO for Consumer switch a few times to overcome what appears to be field issues.
Is there a magic combination that I should be trying to get this to work correctly?
Thanks.

Hi Benny,
Are you using uni-directional or bi-directional conversion?
I'm going to run a similar setup here overnight to see if I can get similar behavior.
I'll run the unit on version 1.1.239 software.
What was the previous version of SD-Connect software you were using that ran well?

I don't remember what the prior version was.
I ended up changing it to DV Camera/Deck 1. This seems to be working as expected. It may be what I was using before and the new Software/Firmware update reset everything to a state I haven't seen in many months.
I'm not using the Final Cut Pro pre-set because I'm not using a DV source and I haven't looked hard enough to see if I can change the configuration to something I can use.
Thanks.

Hi Benny,
I did some testing and found that there must be a bug in Standalone mode. It went out of sync after a few hours, whereas DV mode worked overnight.
I'll work on it and get the bug fixed for the next version of firmware.
