Media 100HD mastering (2frames off)

[Derek Bruce]

Hi Floh,

Thanks for your response. My set up is very straight forward (out of SDI2 of Media100 to SDI ‘in’ on the deck)- most of my work is DVCAM using a Sony DSR1500AP with the SDI option fitted. I have in the past gone through internal menu’s on the decks and tried various settings with no success. I have also tried various options within Media100HD as suggested by my Media100 reseller without any success. My reseller actually has an identical deck to mine and have claimed that on some of their other clients Media100HD systems it masters correctly every time! I know that some of their Media100 customers also have the same problem as me as well as many users on the cow. I could be wrong but I can’t imagine it is a deck issue as other users using everything from DVCAM, DVCPRO, DigiBeta etc are all having this issue with their mastering. I am sure most of us have a lot of experience handling and setting up decks, and its not something I have experienced before in other edit suites. My guess is that its a Media100HD software/hardware board issue, maybe only on some boards??? I am out of my depth here, so far I have worked around the problem like everyone else with the timeline adjustment – although this is not ideal so far it works, so as long V11 solves this then I am happy. If you have any ideas Floh please let me know – if there are particular deck/Media100 settings you think I should try then I’ll give it a go. Well done for answering all our questions! Regards,

Okay, here

Boogerd,

one thing you definitely should check also is if the “Sync audio to ” setting is set to your selected out. So if you are mastering using the SDI 2 out or the Component out, make sure that SDI 2 or component is selected there.

Hi Floh, yes my Audio Output sync is set to SDI2 and I am mastering from SD timelines. Many thanks,

Derek
