January 9, 2016 at 4:19 amMaybe this info can help! We have a VO9850, with a BKU-704/705 that reads SMPTE time code, that is connected to a AJA Kona LHe Plus internal card, which comes with a snake cable. The card’s RF in is connected to a Blackmagicdesign Mini Converter Sync Generator. We’re using it with FCP 07. The ‘sync in’ from the deck is going to the Sync Generator ‘RF out’ and the ‘RF in’ from the snake is going to the sync generator. On the deck, the ‘mode select’ is switched to ‘TBC’ and the Line Select is set to ‘Line’. The ‘audio in and audio out’, from the deck, are connected to the snake. The ‘Monitor video’ from the deck is connected to the TV monitor and the ‘Monitor audio’ from the deck to connected to our Mackie mixer. Pieter, hopes this helps!
Everything is working fine, except for one thing…during capture it keeps stopping at 1:24 minutes! Which leads me to believe there is an internal timecode set in the deck. Does anyone know how to change this?
