White dv Drop-out?

[raneparish]

HELP!

  Has anyone ever had experience with white drop out? I shot this footage and when I reviewed it, one second of the tape went white and there was a loud pop on the tape that made the level meters go in the red. There was no dialogue or any other loud noise to cause this. I had the dvx mounted on a pan tilt head (motorized) and a jib arm at the time.  There was sun, but the camera wasn't pointed at it. Should I take it in before my warranty runs out? Or is this a fluke?

Re: White dv Drop-out?

This could be various problems. It could just be the tape or the camera heads needs cleaning. Humidity, moisture, and cold weather can cause drop outs. I wouldn't sweat it though. But if this problem keeps occuring then pop out your waranty card.
