Hi everybody! I'm starting as DP on a tv-series with the Venice2 next week. I have run into an issue with SDI outputs. There seem to be a delay around 4 frames. We tried all outputs, also Monitor Out. Settings: 5.4k s35 in X-OCN ST Vaxis 3000 Transmission system First the focuspuller noticed it during the tests, we changed different monitors and transmission systems. We found something faster but still not as fast as the Alexa systems. But it's manageable. The problem lies more with the sound-department. If we want to give playback to the crew, there is a delay on the video while the audio is playing back instantly. Anybody found a work-around? Maybe but delay on the audio too of 4 fps. Or something else? Anybody reached out to Sony yet? I have the feeling the delay is a bit worse then the Venice1. In commercials this is all fine but fiction, my crew is a bit worried... For such a high-end cinema camera this is a bit embarrassing... Thanks in advance for your time.

Hi everybody, scrolling through the alexa menu I saw items that I'm not sure what the are. - in the recording/rec out menu I see SCAN FORMAT, with the possibility of choosing between P or PSF. What is the difference between them? - in the same menu I also see HD-SDI FORMAT with the possibility of choosing between 422 1.5 SL/DL, 422 3G SL, 444 1.5G DL and 444 3G DL/SL. While I know that 422/444 have to do with the color sampling I have no idea what 1.5G and 3G mean, and same with SL/DL - in the MONITORING/MON OUT menu I see scan format and the options are P or PSF? Is this the exact thing I've ask in question number 1?And why in the frame rate option in this menu it doesn't let me choose 23.976 but only 24, 25 and 30 fps? Thank you in advance for the help!

Hi everybody, sorry for the silly question but I'm way more familiar with ALEXAs than with the epic/dragon family. I was wondering if on the dragon there's a way to send different signals on different monitors, like in the Alexa. By that I mean the possibility of having the director seeing the LUT/REC 709 in the director's monitor and the DP the RAW in the EVF/on board monitor for example. I've been playing with the DONNA app but I cannot figure it out. Thanks so much in advance for the help, Davide Sorasio
