    I have ordered a MC and MOJO SDI, and until it are ready to ship, the dealer have given me a Xpress Pro. I use the mac version 4.8.4. But the troble is that I can’t get my DVCPro deck to work. I’m using Keyspan for the RS422 remote and loading composit into the mojo. My digibeta, Beta SP and DVCAM deck run fine. But the DVCPro deck wont work. There are a menu in the DVCPro deck whit changes the 422 protocol so when you auto-configure. the deck AVID thinks is a sony BVW 75, but that don’t help.

    Every time i try to capture AVID says: “Capture aborted due to discontinuity in timecode” The deck are a Panasonic AJ-SD93E whit SDI and analog option boars.

    I have also tryed to remove the mojobox and use the deck whit firewire, bu the result are the same.

    What can i do? I don’t want to by a new DVCPro deck, I have use the deck for 2 year whit decklink and FCP whit no troble.

    Discontinuity in timecode means you have a timecode break and you haven’t set up your system to capture across it. Under Settings, go to Capture and check “Capture across timecode breaks”. It will end your clip where the timecode breaks, but it should pick back up on a new clip and keep capturing instead of stopping.

    No that is not it. is stops after 12 – 24 frames. And there no tc jumps on the tape. I have tryed whit more than one.

    Are you trying to capture DVCPro50 by chance? According to the device list (https://www.avid.com/content/8927/SUPPORTED%20DEVICES%20FOR%20AVID%20EDITOR%20PRODUCTS.pdf), DVCPro50 is not supported with this deck…

    OK – dumb question….

    Are you sure you’ve selected the proper input in the digitize tool? Sorry for the basic question, but trying to imagine what’s wrong. If you deselect the TC track, will the capture work?
