Dropped frames during capture
Hello
I am trying to digitize digi-beta footage and am receiving the message ‘dropped frames detected during last capture attempt’. At first I though it was a bad tape but then I tried digitizing an old tape that I had had no prior issues with and received the same message. I have tried setting the deck to both DF and NDF.
Is there a setting in FCP I could be overlooking? -

Not nearly enough info here for anyone to give you a shread of help. To help you we would need to know:
1) what codec you’re trying capture in
2)what type of hard drive subsystem (drive array) you’re using.

Working with Blackmagic Decklink trying to capture uncompressed 10 bit to Video Raid

This is a businees of precision, it helps to give precise information if you want useful help…
Blackmagic 8-bit or 10-bit? And what type of raid? i.e. how many drives striped together etc???

I specified that I am trying to capture in 10 bit to one 2TB Video Raid SCSI. The Decklink input is set to SDI VIDEO and AUDIO as is the digi-beta deck. Video is enabled in the clip settings.

[kmontgomery] “I specified that I am trying to capture in 10 bit to one 2TB Video Raid SCSI.”
YOu mentioned 10-bit…yes. But you didn’t mention what RAID you had and how it was connected. Really, it does help to know like EVERY detail. Like the raid controller card model, the model of the raid itself…HOW it is raided. How you are connecting to the digibeta deck, what SPECIFIC Decklink card you have.
For example. “I have a Kona LH connected to a digibeta via SDI and I am trying to capture 10-bit uncompressed using the Uncompressed 10-bit 4:2:2 setting to my Caldigit S2VR Duo eSATA Raid (raid 0) and I am getting dropped frames.”
Those kind of details mean a lot. Is your SCSI controller card ATTO? Other? How full is it? Have you run a speed test recently and checked how fast it is working?

Oops, I see you said 10-bit now… Sorry.
Is your raid nearly full? Have you run the Blackmagic Disk Speed test to check your throughput of your drive array? If not, run it and report back with the numbers.

The read and write seem fine: 180.4 and 152.7 respectively. I am also not getting any Video input so I think there is some simple setting I am overlooking. Our Digi deck is normalled to the FCP so no patching is involved.

Throughput seems dandy, but getting no video input would tend to be a bit of a problem. Have you tried opening a new project and setting things from scratch by using the BM 10-bit Easy Setup? Sometimes the Easy Setup toggles a few things that manual settings in the capture module etc. don’t. Of course you will have to then set things for SDI input.

The idea seemed promising but, alas, no go. I have deck control and the log and capture is reading timecode, yet there is no video or audio input.
