PAL Camera

I am trying to use a PAL camera (Sony FCB EX480CP) to sent video into the graphics engine on the DL2. I have connected it up and get a picture (poor quality) in NTSC M mode but do not get an image from any of the PAL modes. I have set this in the menu on the DL2. It does not work even if I reset the graphics engine from the menu. I have also bypassed the switching relays and sent the S-Video directly into the connector on the computer, but this still only gives me sort of an image in NTSC M, and sent some S-Video from a Handycam which is the same.

Is there something else I need to do?

I am using Software version 1.2.3.906
Firmware 1.2.3.94
xpe 1.0.1

I am hoping to replace the NTSC camera in the DL2 with the PAL version of the same camera as video rental companies in the UK use PAL. Maybe the PAL camera could be an option on new DL2's?

    Dear Andy,
    I worked last week with the WDR TV-station (Cologne) at the "Leverkusener Jazztage" using 6*DL.2 in the set.
    Together with the CameraCrew we feeded the DL.2 camera signal through a Folsom Scan Converter to the broadcast system ot the WDR.

    The engineer analysis stated:
    Signal quality is o.k.. Use the DL.2 Cam for internal use by routing the Cam-signal through the DL.2 Camera Kit to other DL.2s. The DL.2 angle for special effect shots is what really made everyone happy.
    Creative use with night-vision might been an option, which we didn't use unfortunately with the first two shows.

    Use Contrast and Blackpoint to enhance the visual brightness with the lighting desk.

    What would be great to have with the DL.2 Cameras is to manually control the stop-down through the lighting desk, because by now the stop-down adjust itsself automatically.

    IF "we europeans" would like to enhance the camery system: Why don't search for SDI-cams???

    I will get a DVD from the TV-station until the end of november from this event. Let's stay in contact.
