Is this acceptable behaviour?!
Hello Avid Gurus,
We have an SDI connection from our Avid MC Adrenaline vrs. 2.7.7 running into a DVC Pro deck. This is how we dub off our projects to tape. We do this on a daily basis.
Yesterday, I put a short video on tape, with no problems. Later in the afternoon, I had another project to put on tape, and there was no audio. OK… I reset the entire system (we usually end up doing this a couple/few times a day for various Avid error reasons) but still no audio. The cable was still hooked up. I had been editing all day, but didn’t really have any problems, other than the Access Violation Error which was overcome by restarting.
I consulted with our engineers, and one bright fellow with a memory better than mine went to the audio output settings, and sure enough SDI out was set to off!
There is no way possible this setting was changed. I did restart the application twice throughout the day, and the entire PC/Adrenaline box/Drives once, and that was it. This was less than an normal full day of editing.
How could this setting have possibly been changed?
Thanks,

Got me…but the Adrenaline hardware was always so buggy, it is what caused me to switch to FCP…

I would have thought the audio output options would have been a no-brainer/first place you would look?
It’s kind of obvious. Why it resets? Who knows. But if something isn’t working, work back in a logical progression. The fault usually presents itself sooner or later. Especially something as simple as no audio.

If by “reset” you mean dumping your MC State file, you have bigger issues than dropped settings. You shouldn’t have to toss that daily. My MC5 forgets output settings, and annoying habit it picked up about V4. Try making your audio setting a site setting.
