  edit to tape/record isseue

  Posted by Mike Varga on February 3, 2009 at 2:00 pm

  I’m definitely scratching my head here…

  using -MacPro, dual quad 3.2, 10 gb ram
  -AJA io’hd
  -Sony HDW-1800 HDCAM recorder.

  When i crash record and play from the timeline, eveything is groovy but,
  when i use edit to tape(assemble edit), the record tape records digital artifacts(small different colored blocks, and the condition light goes orange and red.

  I can’t do a final output (timecode sensitive), and i’m stuck

  Please help

  Thank You,

  MIke

  i saw a post by the infamous Bob Zelin saying to switch menu option 309 from auto 1 to auto 2, on a 2000 series deck, i did it to my hdw-1800 deck and what do you know…problem appears to be remedied. Thanks Bob wherever you are.

  Does anyone know what that menu option does or have any ideas of anything else that could trigger that problem?

  Best,

  I found this in the manual.

  309 SERVO/AV REFERENCE
  SEL Select the servo reference signal.
  AUTO1: During recording, the input video signal is used as the servo reference
  signal. During playback, the signal selected by F2 (REF VID) in function menu
  page P03: VID PROC is used as the servo reference signal. If the signal
  selected by the F2 (REF VID) in function menu page P03: VID PROC is not
  connected, an internal reference signal is used.
  AUTO2: When F2 (REF VID) in function menu page P03: VID PROC is set to
  “REF”, and any of F2 (INS TC), F3 (INS CUE), and F5 (ASSEMBLE) to F10
  (INS A4) in function menu page P07: E.PRESET is lit, the reference signal for
  video/audio signal processing is locked to the input video signal.
  EXT: The servo reference signal is forced to be “EXT” (an external reference video
  input signal is used).
