importing dvcpro hd from m10u to lhe audio/video settings?

[Brian Mccartney]

I have an M25U deck but I think the process is the same. Make sure that the Kona control app has the component analog video setting checked for input and also the make sure analog audio is checked. In FCP create an easy setup based off the DVCProHD 1080i settings and change the deck control to Apple Firewire. You may need to change the deck control offset (my deck uses a 4 frame offset). Not sure if I am leaving anything out but The AJA website actually has a decent white paper on goign from HDV to DVCProHD, that should give you a very good idea of how it all works.

well, i sort of figured it out. i can use the deck as an uncontrollable device, but i though i woulf be able to control the deck with final cut? also, im still getting no audio, i’ll test the output of my matchbox.

Use firewire for deck control.

i tried that, and it didnt work.

HDV firewire?

[Cade Muhlig]

ya, when i hit log and capture, it give me an error message…
to capture hdv soure material both the capture and device control presents must be configured for hdv…

What you need to do is select the 1080i DVCPRo HD capture preset then go into the log and capture, window and change your capture device to HDV firewire. Or you can make your own preset with all the required parameters.

i did easy setup dvcprohd, the went to capture window, capute settings tab, but there is no hdv anything. there is sdv, but that doesmt work

You will need to set the deck’s firewire port to DV downconvert. The device control in FCP in log and capture will not work if the firewire port on the deck is set to HDV.
