  • Edit to tape to Panasonic AJ-sd930 DVCPro

    Hi,

    I’m trying to edit to tape via SDI to a Panasonic AJ-sd930 DVCPro deck. I’m using a Kona LH breakout box, which has ref via a blackburst generator. The ref on the Kona is looped to the Panasonic deck. The black and Code process seems to succeed. But when I drop a timeline on the assemble mode nothing happens.

    Can anyone help me out?

    Thanks,

    Frans

    Similar to a AJ1200 DVCPro HD deck, this deck does not do assemble or insert edits.

    Do you have another deck there that does?

    Hi Jeremy,

    Typed in the wrong deck name. It should be Edit to tape to Panasonic AJ-sd93 DVCPro

    I don’t have another deck. I used to edit on Liquid Chrome, it had another, more traditional way of ‘editing to tape’. Never had problems then.

    Found out it can capture DVCPro50 via the IEEE 1394 interface. Just wanted to know if it also can via SDI.

    Regards,

    Frans

    You can capture via SDi from that deck, yes. You just can’t do an edit to tape in either assemble or inset modes via rs422 deck control. If you have a another deck, you could use that as a tc slave to the sd93. That’s what I used to do in the rare cases I needed to master to dv50.

    Hi Jeremy,

    Thanks for your advise. I’ll slave it to the beta then! It’s a pitty to found out it doesn’t work like I’m used to.

    Thankx,

    Here’s a write up if you want it:

    I am explaining how to do it with a 1200A deck, but the principle is the same with the SD93.
