FCP and Patch Bay
I’m trying to set up a patch bay with my FCP. Right now to capture or to output anything I have to manually hook up the required deck.
So right now we capture footage through our Digi Bata, Beta Sp and sometimes a DV deck. We output Digi Beta and SP. I capture the Digi Beta stuff through SDI and The SP stuff Component into FCP.
I would like a Patch Bay that will let me capture the footage from our Beta decks and DV deck and be able to do deck to deck dubs.
I’m running Final Cut Studio 2 and have a Kona 3 card. For capturing SP footage i use a Analog to SDI converter box.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
George

Contact Bob Zelin. He set us up with sweet patch bays for very little money. I wrote an article in my blog about our upgrade which involved 3 video and audio patch panels.

Some of the pictures are missing due the Cow’s very limited space for pictures, but you can see the patches in there. You can find Bob’s postings in this forum and he hosts the AJA Kona forum.
