Can’t do audio inserts with Decklink HD Extreme
have a Mac Quad Pro Xeon(3.0) running Final Cut Studio 5.1.4 with a Decklink HD Extreme card. When I try to edit to tape, the video insert engages but the 2 audio insert lights do not(Sony BVW-75). I have the audio insert pop up menu correct and device control is NTSC 29.97 . The Sony deck and the clips used are known good with other systems. It is also not a 422 cable thing.
Is there a setting in Final Cut I’m missing or is the HD DEcklink Extreme not able to do this? Thanks for any help. -

addendum to this problem: This system will control and do audio inserts on a Sony Digibeta(DVW-A500) but not an analog BVW-75. I thought that Sony 422 control was all the same??

Couldn’t be a matter of the audio signal? BetacamSP works with analog audio and Digi-Beta is digital? I think the RS-422 only control the desk and carry TC.

I selected the analog audio inserts on the Digibeta and it worked. However I do believe you can have no inputs to a 75 and the 422 control will turn on video or audio inserts. All of our BVW 75 analog decks work with other systems i.e. Smoke, Flame, Xpri, Adrenaline and they also work with two other other Final Cut systems. The other two Final Cuts are on MAC G5’s and have different Decklink cards that work…a Decklink SP and Decklink Extreme. It is looking like an incompatibility of the Decklink HD Extreme to fully talk to BVW-75……

This post on another forum resolved the issue:
Go to your A/V settings, device control tab. Select the current preset and change audio mapping to 2 channels. I think that will do it. The older beta decks don’t understand more than 2 audio channels.
