Insert Edit stoped working
I’ve done it dozens of times before so anyone know why it’s currently grayed out.
I’m trying to lay back an uncompresed sequence to a DVW-A500P. All deck control is working fine but for some reason it won’t let me do an insert edit. It treats the deck as if it is a DV machine.
Might there be a switch on the deck that needs changing?
I’ve tried both FCP 4 and 4.5 and QT 6.5 and 7 and even rolling back the IO driver to 1.2.
This is driving me crazy! Help!

Have you checked the device control settings to make sure the proper setup is active? You didn’t mention what machine control you’re using but with our IO, I have made presets for Betacam SP, DVCPro 50 and D9. I have a separate setting just for a DVCPro edit deck that needs Panasonic RS422 protocol. Make sure your device control setting hasn’t been changed to a different RS422 protocol. The wrong one might disable the insert edit function.

Hi Doug,
As far as I can see everything has remained the same as before. I’m using the AJA IO deck control via an RS422 cable and using the standard protocol that is selected when you choose AJA SDI 8-bit uncompressed from the Easy Set Up.
I’ve also tried a fresh install of evrything on a different MAC with the same result which makes me think it must be the IO, the cable or the deck. But I can’t work out which.
Thanks

Dumb question but is the record pin popped in or out on the tape?
I have foregone the AJA IO RS422 deck control for using a Keyspan USB to Serial deck control setup. This is partly because my early experiences with IO’s deck ccontrol were sketchy, and also because my system is set to work in Kona2 and would rather have one way of using deck control for everything. So far, the Keyspan has been rock solid.
