DIGI-BETA compatiblity issues?
Hey all,
I have been having a reaccuring issue when using dvw 500 decks with my FCP pro system using an HD extreme. And When using my Premiere Pro with a decklink extreme (not the HD version).
If I lay down to tape, my audio is distorted and messed up. I send both audio through the SIF and video through the SIF setups… during playback of a tape the channel condition gets a red ligt…
I am assuming that this is some sort of communication problem that I can solve through settings on the deck. As I have had this problem using at least 4 different dvw-500s. And this problem presents on both of my systems, and on a another system that another company I know works with… This is not a problem on the new 2000’s… Any ideas?

Clark,
Flick the reference switch on the digi.

The DVW-A500 is notorious for having these exact same problems when not receiving a black reference that is the SAME black reference locking your Blackmagic card. You will see the EXACT same problem with AVID and AJA systems as well. Lock everything to house black – if you don’t own one, buy one.

Peter!!!! YOU ROCK!!!!. It seems so simple now… How did I miss that? How did the Tech’s who I had come try and solve this miss that? How did the Phone support from Black Magic miss that? I owe you a beer or maybe 2!!!
Thank-you, thank-you, thank-YOU.

No problem, glad I could help.
It’s not the most obvious problem I’ve solved, but I’ll save that for the book 🙂
