Layback to tape accuracy
Hello, I have posted this in the Blackmagic forum, but this seems to be a lot busier so here is my post again…
Hello,
I’m looking for a bit of help for a collegue who doesn’t have internet access at the moment. He is trying to lay-back a programme to tape from FCP. The problem is frame accuracy. It is consistently going in two frames late. He is using G5 Quad : BlackMagic Multibridge Extreme : FCP 5.1.2 : 4TB SATA RAID and his sequence is 10 bit Uncompressed. He is laying off to 625 Digital Betacam via RS-422.Over the past 30 minutes I have exhausted all my avenues as far as offsets go and was hoping someone knew what was going on. We have tried the frame offset in FCP and the “get” & “put” offsets in Blackmagic, these didn’t seem to affect the layback inaccuracy at all. I then told him to set the Edit-to-tape function to editing rather than mastering, it now goes in + /- 1 frame, when it likes!
Could someone enlighten us?
Thanks in advance

Enge,
Does your friend have a black burst generator supplying sync to all components of his editing system? If not, there’s the trouble…
