How to transffer Digibeta to FCP via AJA express
Hello.
I tried each and every format but FCP wouldn’t detect the digibeta..
When I click on log and capture it says no communication.. Are there any other steps I need to know to grab the footage from Digibeta to FCP via AJA?Please help

You need a cable for Deck Control. RS-422 cable. 9-pin thing that connects to the AJA IO EXPRESS and the deck.

Do you have machine control setup?

SDI isn’t like Firewire. Deck Control and video signal are all in one with Firewire. SDI is audio and video only. For deck control, you need an RS-422 cable. You can see a connection for it on the IO Express, and the deck.
If you don’t want deck control, or timecode for the footage, you can switch Deck Control to UNCONTROLLED DEVICE, and manually control the deck. But I highly advise against it. Timecode is VERY important.

If I am mistaken are you talking about external control setup?
i didnt do anything externally.. i tried changing formats in easy setups.. sometime it shows unable to initialize video.. does it mean the video is detected and there could be a software issue??
I tried installing latest version of Quick time too and used firewire directly to the machine also… nothings working for me..vihang

That was helpful Shane… this is the first time m operating this.. so its little complicated for me..
so where can i find the Uncontrolled device option.. its certainly not on the deck..I ll try to get the RS-422 cable.. but I need to transfer few tapes today ASAP..:(
Is there any way I can make it work?vihang
