  • Can not control Sony BVW 75P

    Posted by Binh Le on November 11, 2005 at 8:16 am

    Hi,

    I have a BMD SP card and SONY betacam BVW 75P with 9pins Remote RS422 Control port. I can not control the SONY deck in PP 1.5.1 with Decklink Deck control plugin.
    But Blackmagic Deck Control program can control the SONY deck (Play, stop, rewin…).

    Could you help me to control Sony Deck in PP 1.5.

    Thanks so much.

    Did you close BM deckcontrol before you started PPro? They don’t work simultaneously. Just quessing.

    Thanks for your help,

    I open PP 1.5.1 after closed BM Deck control.
    With PP 1.5, when I open capture window, if Sony VTR is playing then it stop. But PP can not control the VTR, all button in capture window is disable only Stop and Record is Enable.

    Hi,

    We had problems with a JVC BR-D750 deck trying to export to tape from Premiere. Not quite the same problem perhaps, but the following notes may be of some help.

    After switching over to 9pin remote, have you checked any available menu settings. The JVC has {9 pin device ID} and {Controller select} which need to correctly set. I assume that the Sony has something similar.

    The above did not solve our problem so I installed proVTR (a legacy from a Digisuite system). It has to be connected to the computers’ serial port by a convertor cable. It was seen as a device control option by Premiere and seems to work fine so far.

    Hope this helps,

    Geoff

    It ought to work. Sometimes I had same kind of problem, but I had forgotten to change back to decklink device control (Settings tab > Device Control > Device > Decklink Device Control) after using DV device control. What is the text you have above Capture monitor window?
