  • not able to record video out

    I’ve got my system with an Aja card attached to a Sony PVW 2800 deck. I’m able to digitize video and audio with no problem, but I can’t seem to get the deck to record the video out. The video level meter shows no video. Audio works both ways. Any thoughts?

    We need a lot more details to help you troubleshoot your system. Which AJA card. Input/outputs. System config. I would suspect something is not connected properly.

    Hi Steve-

    The AJA card is the OEM card that comes with the new media 100hde system. It’s the same as the LHE card. I have a dual boot system with Media 100Hde on one drive and FCP Studio on the other. I did extensive research on putting this system together, and it CAN be done successfully according to Media 100 and Aja.

    I have a Mac G5 Quad, and I’m connecting the Muilt-cables that came with the Aja card to the Mac and to a PVW 2800 deck. Using the Y Pb Pr ins and outs. The deck switch is in the proper position (up). I can digitize and edit on both systems, yet neither system will allow me to output to tape. I get audio not video. The video level meter on the deck indicates that it is not receiving a signal.

    any thoughts on what I should try? Thanks

    In FCP, make sure you’re routed right for external video… has to be set to the AJA card. These settings are in the Audio/Video settings in the AV devices tab…
