Posted: Thu May 26, 2016 4:18 am Post subject: Extremely Low quality VIDEO OUTPUT! |
|
|
Ok so I've done this a hundreds of times with the PA800 and PA3x. Today for the first time , I tried to record the video-out of the PA4x and thought it'd be business as usual. I did NOT expect it to be any better than the PA3x and such but I did NOT expect it to be way worse either!
The video is so bad you can't even look at it because it hurts your eyes. I take out the same exact cable and connect it to the PA3x...I get a much better quality that I've got used to.
My question is: Is there an official Korg PA4x video that was recorded using the video out connection? I would love to be proven wrong.
Or maybe I need to change the video settings because the PA4x outputs a different format?
Enlighten me, please! _________________ Sam

Hi Sam
That is interesting.
I haven't recorded its video out but I do have an external screen attached most times when I rehearse.
I must admit that I thought that it was "slightly" better than the PA3X but possibly not so as I can't compare them together - could also have been related to the wine
Seriously would like to see the response to this.
All the best

Did you use this external screen for Lyrics only? I should upload a sample later today. _________________ Sam

Sam,
It looks like your Pa4X has cataracts!
I'd take it to a service center or at least to a nearby store that has one one in stock to check it against.
Is it still in warranty? _________________ O88, T1, Wavestation, M1r, Pa 4X 76, Proteus 1-3, Morpheus, UltraProteus, K1200, Akai S2000, DP8 |

Lol! yeah, something like that!
It would be great if someone could record his/hers so we could compare. I really think this is not a faulty component. It's possible that this is probably IT!. If true, that would be very odd to say the least.
I really hope it's me doing something wrong. It is under warranty nonetheless...
In any case Just a 10 seconds recording would be more than enough.
Maybe Korg Italy could comment on this as well? _________________ Sam

Hi Sam
I use mine for screen mirroring as well as lyrics
Watched your video (agree - that is hard to watch eh!!!) - think mine is clearer BUT I will try a "recording" shortly and you can compare.
Cheers

Sam,
What were you recording with? Cell phone? Video camera? Were you focusing on just the screen (if I remember right)?
I can try taking a non moving picture with a cell phone or a video with a Panasonic 3 CCD on a tripod (to avoid shake).
The problem I have with doing either is I don't know how to transfer either one to view on this forum. I assume the block that says "IMG" on the "Post a reply" page (I'm on now) means a still img but maybe it takes video too? _________________ O88, T1, Wavestation, M1r, Pa 4X 76, Proteus 1-3, Morpheus, UltraProteus, K1200, Akai S2000, DP8 |

This is how I've been recording the screen for many years:
I connect the video output of the Pa keyboards to a Firewire AD converter. I use Adobe Premiere to capture the screen.
Here's a recording of the PA3x:

It's not the best quality there is, but at least it's usable. I can't even get half of that quality with the Pa4x! _________________ Sam
