  • Pana HDX900 switched to AJ-1400HD, firewire out to FCP, audio out of sync

    Note: I recently posted this on the CC HVX forum and had low response. Perhaps this is the better forum for this camera/tech issue. Gary, you out there???

    Interesting problem. Just did a 4-camera HDX-900 switched shoot with the
    HDSDI output of the switcher mastering to an AJ-1400 DVCPROHD tape deck.
    Simultaneously fed the firewire output of the deck to FCP Studio live
    capture ingest. The master tapes on the deck recorded everything fine and
    in-sync. The firewire output to FCP recorded the audio out of sync, from
    between 2-14 frames out of sync. Any ideas why? Everything was genlocked and
    synced with a very high-end HD flypack, Telecast fiber system, etc. And
    again, the tape masters are fine and in sync. Just the FCP ingest is out of
    sync.

    Were you capturing to a firewire hard drive? That tends to cause audio to be out-of-sync.
