AJA Io to BetaSP UVW-1800
FCP to Io is working splendidly. However, I am newly hooking up a BetaDeck rental to my AJA & I am not getting video or audio to the BetaDeck UVW-1800. I am using Analong out & composite video. I must be having difficulties w/ the Ref cable. Please advise! Thanks in advance.

What does the deck say?
you should see timecode.are you using the composite out of the IO to the
sync in of the 1800? if so make sure and terminate it if
it is the only thing you are connecting.In the IO control panel are you set to 525i 29.97 and do
you have the control default output set to test pattern?Will Griffith

Just out of curiosity, why not use the component output of the Io into the UV1800. You can then use the Io composite out to sync the 1800 if you do not have house sync. The 1800 should have auto termination on the composite and reference inputs — but they can fail.
When I hook our IoLA or IoHD to beta decks, I always use the component output for the video, and the composite out (with the IoLA) or the house sync (IoHD) to reference the Beta Deck. I have both audio wise going into a mixer, where from there it would go into the deck for recording; but you can run the analog XLR out from the Io directly into the UVW1800.
Also make sure the 1800 is set to the correct input.

Use the component in and/or outputs from the 1800 to the Io.
You could use composite video as sync, but the best would be to use a sync generator for the 1800.I’ve been told that our Io HD itself does not need any ref input when capturing from our 1800P, but I have connected a black burst to the ref in on the IoHD anyway. (And of course to the 1800P as well).
Works like a charm – big bonus is the built-in RS422 control of the IoHD.

Figured it out. Thanks All.
