Setup/Preferences/Operation/Video. Tick High Quality QuickTime Image.

This shouldn't affect it as this only applies to the QuickTime engine within Pro Tools. The Canopus decodes just the stream and no pre-processing is done within Pro Tools. It might help, but can't see why it would. If it was set to NTSC, there would be a rolling image in black and white. Are you going into an LCD or Plasma TV over Composite? If so, try S-Video instead. If this doesn't help, maybe try video forums like Creative Cow. |

Re: canopus box 'blocky' picture
I think you mean pixelated.
First make sure your DV-PAL wasn't first something else that was converted to DV-PAL, It might look just fine playing through QT but once you send it through the Canopus. Also check your frame rate within PT. Best, Mitch |

You don't expect me to READ quetions do you???? Where's the fun in that? I have 6 stock answers. I pulled one out. This is what was drawn..... Ok, I read too fast, didn't even see the "ok on computer screen". (But he should have it checked anyway.). Yeah, check to see what flavor of QT you have and how the canopus is set.

Re: canopus box 'blocky' picture
we have the same set up, force vid out firewire to Canopus. When we do PAL we set our Canopus ADVC110 to Pal with the dip switches on bottom of the unit then use a Com World CMD-1500 video converter ( about 150$) to convert the Canopus Pal output back to NTSC interlaced for our Sharp LCD TV / displays. Seems to work Great.
Hope this helps |

Re: canopus box 'blocky' picture
thanks guys.
i fudged around with those stupid dip switches and fixed it. it wasn't a pal/ntsc thing it was something else (sync locked or something - what does that do anyway?) it wasn't a pixellated thing (like low resolution convert to dv) it was a weird mangled blocky thing. i hate computers. |
