  • edit to tape with HDW-D1800

    I can’t seem to layback using my multibridge. The process appears to go fine, but all that gets recorded on the tape is green digital blocks (with some remenents of picture), plus an intact soundtrack.

    THe deck records fine from the multbridge SDI using a simple crash edit, but from the “edit to tape window” – no dice.

    I must have some settings wrong?

    Could it be that I’m trying to output a prores 59.94 movie and the prores 29.97 video output is not compatible with the deck?

    I managed to record the sequence to tape using a crash edit, so it must be some problem with the edit to tape window..

    Hey John – I edit to tape all the time with my Multibridge Extreme and HDW1800. The trick is to make sure the reference is selected to ‘input’ NOT REFERENCE; otherwise you will get exactly what you are getting.
