Batch Re-acquire problems.
Not sure when this stopped working. Trying to re-acquire an HD-29.97 timeline from vtr. Grabbing via hd-sdi with deck control via kona serial. When I get to the point where the footage is loaded in the vtr and execute, the system appears to lose sync/loss of video signal. I checked through the known issues for this release, and some things are mentioned about loss of sync with firewire devices/control, but nothing applies to my setup. This was working in previous version, but this is the first time I’ve re-acquired in Suite version of M100. BTW- batch acquire via FCP is working (no cable changes) Anyone have any tips or workarounds?
M100- 1.1.2/Mac Pro 10.5.8/AJA-Kona3/7.1

can you acquire via the “acquire” mode (e.g. in non-batch-acquire)? Trying to find out if there is a general problem with your setup and configuration, or if it is only related to batch acquire.

Hi Floh. Actually, I just figured it out. For some reason, batch re-acquire does not like using hd-sdi-2 as the input. This input was working fine for my normal acquisition, only when I was trying to use the batch procedure did I have the problem. When I moved my input to hd-sdi-1 on the kona breakout box, everything behaved normally. Interesting though, when I would use the batch acquisition on input 2, when it cued the tape, I could see the first frame, when I hit “ready” is when I lost my signal. Maybe the M100 guys can confirm this.

Well Gregg… now that you’ve done my job, it should be pretty easy to check out 😉
I’ll let you know.

Wick-
Once upon a time didn’t you tell me that HD-SDI Input 2/B on the Kona 3 is not supported by Media 100 — just 1/A? Isn’t that what’s going on here? -

In one of the latest releases, I think in Media 100 Suite V1.0, the SDI 2 in on the Kona3 has been enabled. But maybe there still is an issue with it in batch reacquire.

Hey Gregg,
We are completely unable to reproduce this problem here. Are you still seeing it?
Anyone else out there with a Kona3 having trouble with HD-SDI 2 input on Batch Acquire?
Any tips on how I might reproduce it it?

I haven’t tried it since I changed the inputs around. The setup that was not working was my hd source on hdsdi-2 and my sd source on sdi-1. They were both connected at the same time, maybe that has something to do with it. I’ll reverse the cables and see if I get the same problem.

OK. Reversed the cables and I reproduced the problem. When I hit “ready” the video indicator goes yellow and I lose signal to my hd monitor. The status in the batch reacquire reads “Can’t record4” in red.
The source I have hooked up to hdsdi-2 is an xdcam-hd pdw-f70 and the source I have hooked up to sdi-1 is a digi-beta dvw-500. Both are hooked directly to the breakout box. Again, I can digitize with hdsdi-2 on the fly, with no problems. One note, this timeline is a bit old. Probably version 12.7 originally. Maybe there’s something involving saving in the new version.I’ve attached the reacquire window.

I can give it a try tomorrow. Haven´t seen that (although we use the Kona3 SDI2 in only occasionally).

Just tried it; connected to SDI 1 in is a DigiBeta, and to SDI 2 in is a HD-SDI out from a HDCam deck. Reacquired clips on a timeline using the HD-SDI 2 in on a Kona3 without problems, while the SDI 1 in got a signal from the DigiBeta. It also worked when having no signal attached to SDI 1 in.
How was your audio set up? I see that you don´t try to reacquire audio, but since this works for me I am wondering if there is something going on with an invalid audio sync…
