  Avid Adrenaline DNXcel & SONY HVR-1500 ??

  Posted by Beinstein on May 1, 2007 at 9:20 pm

  Folks

  does anyone have the new SONY HVR-1500 working via HD-SDI with Avid Adrenaline DNxcel?

  I have been hearing of problems where the HD-SDI feed is not recognized by the Avid and only Firewire works (defeating the whole idea of using this deck in the first place)

  I read several posts that sound like the issue was resolved but it is not clear that capture via HD-SDI works

  all responses appreciated

  We have a HVR-1500 and MC Adrenaline. Haven’t had a chance to fiddle with it too much. Our last attempt at getting this setup, MC’s capture tool showed the video button grayed out with only the audio tracks available. We were under a deadline so we had to stop trying to get it to work over HD-SDI and settle for firewire for times sake.
  Avid doesn’t seem to have a deck template available yet for the deck as far as I can tell, so MC maybe just confused as to what capabilities it has.
  We also have a HDW-1800, which works fine over HDSDI, though I was a little disappointed to find out that even though the HDV input connector is on the back of it but it doesn’t do anything without an optional board installed (thanks Sony).

  I use the HVR 1500 with no problems. Used with Adrenaline for digitising and dropping back to tape in DVCam mode.

  Can you share how you have things configured?
  Machine control via 9 pin or 1394? Which deck template?
  Thanks.

  After a little tinkering with this I got it to work.
  I used the HDW-M2000 template on 9pin.
  Had to reboot the adrenaline, since after configuring it I was getting an error that there wasn’t a valid video source when I hit the capture button…regardless of the fact I could see it in the composer window on on my HD monitor.

  were you able to get it to capture HDV to the Adrenaline over firewire and also output back to the deck over firewire

  Were you able to also have timecode enabled?

  We use 422 connection with generic template.

  Sorry have not bothered with firewire as HD-SDI does all the hard work combined with 422 control.
