Video Banding on DSR-11 & Pd-150

[mrjazz]

Hello out there in video land,

Here's my problem,
Easter Sunday I shot some family going's on with the cousins.
During the shoot my Sony PD-150 became ill.
The view finder displayed static and the video information was very pink.
After taping the view finder it cleared up a bit but not a 100%.

Thinking only the display was bad I went to digitize my video in a Sony DSR-11. The playback was the same, and when the video cleaned up I had banding then video than more banding, it looked like a barbars pole.

Is this a simple head cleaning issue or a more involved problem.
I did a haed cleaning with head cleaner cassette but no improvemrnt.

Any suggestion before I send my deck out to a service center.

Wrong section.

Could you post a video grab of the pink youre seeing? Isn't the viewfinder b/w? How would you be seeing pink in that case? If you're using the DSR-11 to capture and the bars came up I'd suggest running a cleaning tape through it as well as your camera. If the issue persists then sending it to a service center would be the best idea.
