  • Avid in deck emulation mode?

    Posted by Ryan Servant on July 25, 2008 at 6:10 pm

    Hey Guys,
    I do not know much about Avid, but need help connecting my system to it. I have a customer who wants to use his digital rapids system to control his avid as a deck. I have been told that there is a way to get the avid into a deck emulation mode so that the DR system could control the time as if it were a VTR via the RS-422.

    Is there a feature like this?

    How would my customer get to this setting?

    Any help would be great,

    Ryan

    Avid has VTR emulation which does exactly what you want. However I can’t find much information, and I’m not near my Avid manuals at the moment.

    I’ve seen some suggestion that you needed a special cable rather than the normal 9-pin one, but I’m not sure on that.
