DVC Pro VTR and Edit To Tape
I have a DVC Pro VTR AJ-D650 – been a work-horse. Using the AJA IO LA I have a RS-422 cable connected and the deck works fine for capture. I have machine control with FCP. Capture is fine, Batch capture is fine. I have the device control set to Panasonic Rs-422.
When it comes to “Insert Edit” it is not available. I have tried changing settings within the deck setup menu and to no avail. When I switch the cables to the Beta deck (1800) insert edit becomes available and works fine. Has anyone gotton insert edit to work with a DVC Pro deck?
I even switched to a usb to serial adapter for the machine control and got the same results. Repaired Permis, trashed prefs. As a last ditched effort to get something done I went into “Edit to Tape” mode with the beta deck hooked up, then switched the cables back to the DVCPro deck and it worked.
anybody?Thanks.

The deck itself has to support insert edits… I bet it doesn’t… (1800 certainly does support it so that’s why it works for you there). Look in the Deck’s manual?

Thanks Jerry. Yes the deck does support Insert edit. Been doing it for years with my Media100. Which is now sitting shamefully in the closet.
