Recently, I wanted to take a quick look at a minute of a digibeta that had closed caption encoding. The monitor in the fcp room has the CC decode chip. the signal was already throughputting from the deck thru fcp to the monitor via a kona card SDI in, then out the kona via component to the monitor. Yet there was no CC decode on the monitor.
Later when I had a minute to play, I determined that the feed direct from deck, to the monitor decoded fine, and when captured the dbeta in fcp -- it decoded fine on playback, but when, I simply looked through the Kona card (to avoid re patching), no CC decode.
The room and the fcp system are properly locked with video sync. Any insight -- on why this is? Just a matter of curiousity now.
