Audio Rate Not Supported
I’ve posted this on the Avid-L2 and the Avid Xpress Pro Users Group List, but it’s not generating much attention. Maybe because it’s the weekend? Regardless, I thought I’d ask my fellow MOO-vers and shakers: Are you experiencing this problem? Or is it just my ssystem? Here goes:
My system is an Avid Xpress Pro Studio Complete version 5.7. That includes Mojo SDI and the Digidesign 002 mixer. I have a 30i NTSC project where I’m using tons of P2 footage, all recorded 480/60i. No problem. I also have DV tapes that were recorded on a Sony deck (DSR-50) and the audio was recorded at 32kHz. I’m trying to capture in Xpress Pro where my project settings are 48kHz. After a few seconds of capture, AXP stops and gives me the dialogue,
“Your tape format has audio at 32000 and your audio project settings were expecting 48000. You need to change your audio project setting and re-record this material. Do you want your audio project setting changed now?”
So I click yes, and Xpress Pro immediately gives me the exception error
“DIG_SRATE_NOT_SUPPORTED.”
Sure enough, there is no 32k option in audio projects, only 41k and 48k. In the audio project settings, I’ve got “Convert Sample Rates When Playing” checked to “Always.”
What am I doing wrong or forgetting? I remember grabbing 32k audio-embedded footage before and Avid either converting it while capturing or converting it myself after the fact. But now it will not capture the clips.
Fast forward to the current situation…
Well, here’s the workaround. (sigh)…….
I unplugged the 002 and the Mojo SDI. Booted up again, and I have 32k as an option. Captured, converted the project and the clips back to 48k. Hooked up 002 and Mojo SDI again, no 32k as an option, but the footage that has been transcoded is OK and I can edit as usual.
WTF? Is this a “feature?” I know for sure that I’ve captured 32k with the 002 and Mojo in the past.
What do you think, was it the Mojo or the 002? Avid seems committed to Studio for the foreseeable future, so I don’t think this is something they would have taken away intentionally.

I will run now into that problem too. In my case because there was material shot in the Sony Z1 in HDV and DV.
The camera operator did not perceive that when setting up for DV, the default value for audio was 32K.
The final project will all be captured for DV/48K. That’s fine for the HDV material, which is all 48K. But how do I capture the DV material shot at 32K? When did you convert it?
