  • Kona LS & DSR45 RS422 problem?

    Posted by Adrian Zehn on February 22, 2006 at 10:35 pm

    Using Kona LS going component in and using RS422 I am trying to Assemble edit and FCP will not allow me to do it……the options are ‘greyed off’ and will not select. Using Sony DSR 45.

    Has anyone else had this problem? Someone has told me that they think even though the deck has RS422, that this particular model will not allow you to use RS422 for insert or assembly editing. This seems ridiculous but anything is possible….

    Does anyone know anything about this issue?

    The DSR-45 has no flying erase heads. It is a player that can record, but cannot edit. Same with the Panasonid AJ-SD93, and the $25,000 Panasonic AJ-HD1200A HD VTR. Same with the Sony HDV-S280 HDV VTR for $40,000.

    Want to edit – buy the DSR1500 or DSR-1800. Yes, they are more money.

    Bob’s right, but you might be able to do one of those weird, not frame accurate, firewire layoffs if your sequence is set for DV.

    Hi guys,

    May I right to say that these VTRs will perform Insert edits, but not Assembly ?

    What I found out is that you can perform Assembly edits, but not Insert, using Edit-to-Tape function

    Adrian : Are you able to do Insert ?

    Cheers

    no one can do an insert edit on a DSR-45, no matter what edit controller you use. There are no flying erase heads in a DSR-45.

    Hi,

    Thanks for verifying VTRs like DSR-45, AJ-SD93, etc do not support Insert edits

    Adrian : You may want to check the protocol you are using in the Device Control Presets
