FCP, Decklink, DSR-45, LaCie log and capture
We upgraded 2 G5s to Tiger and FCP Studio (latest versions) and Black Magic 5.0. When trying to log and capture 8bit or 10bit to LaCie Big Disks, we get the error:
“Tape trouble. Check VTR. Do not attempt to eject tape or use transport without checking VTR first.”
Then another:
“Capture Now has reached the end of the tape. All existing footage between the point where you started the capture and the end of the tape was captured successfully.”
The capture is only 2 to 3 minutes into a 30 minute or more capture, no where near the end of the tape. Capturing via Firewire is no problem. This happens on both machines with DVcam tapes that, previous to upgrading, gave us no problems.
Is it a FCP problem? Black Magic? Capturing uncompressed to Firewire drives (which, again, previous to upgrading, we had no problem doing)? DSR-45 problem?

There is a FCP plug in that’s available that will reduce the polling interval of the RS422 signal from FCP to the deck, which was increased in FCP 5, but causes problems with primarily Panasonic decks.
We have a copy of the file, which was passed to us from AJA, please email me for it.
Thanks to Will @ AJA Tech Support for this resolution.
