    no control of pdw-f70 deck in FCP

    Posted by Mark Chadwick on March 28, 2006 at 7:51 pm

    Hello,
    I have a new XDCAM HD sony pdw-f70 deck and I can’t get control of
    the deck. I’m using the HD SDI out and for control it has firewire, 9pin and RS232C. I’ve tried all three and none of them work. The only one that sees timecode is the firewire. The deck uses sony pfd23 23 gb discs.

    Any suggestions? or maybe its not supported yet. When I select non controllable device it captures for a bit but then drops frames.

    G5 dual 2gig
    xserve raid
    blackmagic design HD pro card

    thanks

    Mark,
    There may be a menu item or a switch on the deck for remote control. I haven’t seen a manual for this unti so I can’t help you more.
