Audio output to BetaSP
I am trying to master a show to BetaSP and the network I am delivering to wants 4 split tracks of audio.
I am working with a KonaLH that only had the option of two audio outputs at a time. I laid back my video and first two tracks of audio and now have taken the xlr that was in the deck (A1 and A2) and put them into A3 and A4. I am using a Sony BVW-75.
On playing the sequence through the deck it registers audio on the third and fourth imputs but on edit to tape, I get nothing on tracks 3 and 4.
Is this some setting I have wrong or can BetaSP only record 2 audio tracks?
Thanks,
Mike -

It’s been a long time since I’ve dealt with this, so I can’t remember all of the terminology.
But If I remember correctly, audio channels 3 & 4 are AFM audio, which means that the audio is somehow recorded as part of the video signal. Therefore, you MUST record video at the same time as you record channels 3 & 4 for it to work.
Try recording video along with channels 3 & 4, and then go back and lay down 1 & 2 on the second pass.

That was it, thanks!

Just a silly aside, but I noticed that in this thread and the one directly preceding it, Mike and Tim had separate questions and each supplied the answer for the other. You just gotta love the COW!
