Control FCP with RS422
Hello,
is there any solution to run FCP as “video deck” slaved to something like Pro tools? My idea is use of FCP as external video player controlled with Sony 9-pin.
I’m not FCP user, cannot look into software, and manual says that FCP can only control external decks to make ingest or layback, and no information about external control for “player-like” playback.
I will appreciate any information or comments!

Avid has this feature. Unless there is a third party solution I don’t know about, I don’t think its possible with FCP.

FCP doesn’t do this — but perhaps Virtual VTR will do what you’re looking for.

No point in tying up your FCP as a video player, especially as every DAW these days runs a video track. Make a quicktime and drop it into ProTools or similar. It will also mean absolute frame syncing during jogging.
FCP will only control no be controlled via 9 pin.
