I mixed a film months ago. The director is having a transfer to Digibeta. The house uses AJA Kona 3 video out from Final Cut to Dbeta. I don't know if this is AES/EBU or Analog transfer.

The house has noticed that the Dbeta "sounds squashed" on playback. It doesn't sound bad monitoring the transfer but it does sound bad on playback from the deck.

Do Digibeta machines have any limiter that I could be slamming?

The file is 20bit, 48khz and not 0fsd; peaks are -2dB for L and -.93 dB for R, RMS max is -10dB.

There were no problems when creating the AC3 file for DVD and playback on other systems has been fine.

Any other speculations?
