  • J-H3 no device control on FCP

    Posted by Lucas Howe on November 20, 2007 at 10:01 pm

    Hi guys,

    Trying to capture from a Sony J-H3. Material shot 1080p 24

    We are using FCP 6 with a DeckLink HD Extreme.

    We connected the deck through the HD-SDI out to the card’s
    HD-SDI in.

    We have the deck’s RS-232 remote cable patched to the card.

    Deck is set to 23.98psf

    Capture is set to Blackmagic HDTV 1080psf

    Device control set to RS-232 (the one intended for UVW-1400)

    In Log and Capture we have picture coming in — I can capture now
    (and not receive TC)

    “No communication” — no deck control.

    Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

    Lucas

    use an decklink easy setup (decklink hd 1080 23.98)
    don’t try to create a custom one…

    The JH3 is RS-422, not 232. That could be a good place to start. 😉
