Panasonic AJ-D450 SDI to AJA IO time code problems in FCP
I continually receive an error message saying “time code break” when starting a batch digitize after logging in clips from my Panasonic AJ-D450 deck to FCP v5, via AJA IO. If I take the same tape and digitize it into my Avid Media Composer, via SDI, I never get this error message, so I know the tape (DVCam) is fine. This has happened on various tapes.
Now, with FCP, I can play the tape via RS422 control, watch the video and log clips with no problem. When I go to digitize, that’s when the FCP says “time code break” and stops the process. I have black burst going to the AJA, looping through to the AJ-D450. Even when I digitize on the fly, I get this error message at some point during the process. So, if I have an hour-long tape, it stops at intervals and forces me to start over or break the tape into sections with overlapping in and out points so that I can stitch the entire thing together later during the edit. Why is this happening?

I had this b/4 with the D650 deck. There is a polling.txt file u can put in a folder to cure it. I can’t remember @ the moment. Email me on Mon. and I’ll look on our system for the answer.

there is a “patch” that you need for the older Panasonic VTR’s. I had to do this about a year ago for a client with the old AJ-D450. I will look for the info, but if I can’t find it, AJA support definately has this information.

I am also needing this “patch” for my FCP system. I’m using an older Panasonic AJ-D450 and am getting errors on batch capture. I looked on the AJA page but could not find any info. Please let me know where I can find the patch.
Thanks,
