Does anyone else's BEVRC DVR record poorly & exagerate interference?

[Billy_boy_2010]

Hi guys

Im just reviewing my dvr footage and since i got it the quality of the recording has always seemed quite poor.

Not only is the quality def worse than it is when viewing through goggles (im sure a part of this is viewing on the larger screen, but even for allowing for this it still seems more pixelated).

Also the DVR seems to pick up far more interference than i can see through my cinemizers.

Im using the video out of the DVR to go to the cinemizers


Any info or advice would be great thanks :)

Which DVR is it ? Are we talking the PV700 ? BEVRC have sold that many.

Letting us know which DVR it is would be really handy Greg. Almost vital when trying to work out whats wrong with something ;)

Are you using UHF near it ? Lots of DVR`s do not like being close to UHF transmitters.

Thanks

Its this one

And yes I am using uhf with it. I guess it could be that? Although it doesn't affect the video out of the dvr.

Speaking of which- can you get video splitters? That way I don't have to select video out every time on the dvr and I have the tiny dvr screen as a backup.

That`s the one I use and my favorite. Yes the UHF will be affecting it, just move the DVR away from the UHF Tx. Another point worth noting with that DVR is it also gives out interference on the 1.3ghz video band, so also keep it away from 1.3ghz receivers.

You can get video splitters sure, but a simple Y splitting lead would do if your only splitting it once.

On high quality recording you should notice not one bit of quality drop, unless your expecting a HD recording from a 480 tvl source.

Interesting and very useful thanks.  How far does the uhf have to be from the dvr ?  It's probably 20-40cm away atm.

Am happy with the quality through my goggles I just want the dvr to be the same.

although I will only need two outputs most of the time a third output for guests would be handy- any recommendations for this?

I think I'm going to  try and get some copper tape to try and shield the ezuhf module to reduce any interference at the source.

I had mine around 40 - 60cm away without issues but the further the better.

It should be exactly the same, its recording the same amount of lines as the goggles displaying and the vtx is transmitting, but it is SD, so when you stretch it up to a PC monitor size it is going to look blocky.

I have used both : Basic splitter

And : Level adjustable splitter

Both require 12v, the none adjustable has a smaller footprint, no fiddling but no adjustment on the video levels, both are very capable. I use 6 of the adjustable splitters in my monster GS case.

You could, but that wont help the DVR, the antenna is where all the power comes out of and I wouldn't recommend covering that in copper :)
