  • Printing to video using Sony DSR-1800A DVCam deck?

    Posted by Larry Watts on April 28, 2011 at 5:01 pm

    I have not been able to use our Sony DVCam DSR 1800A to make master tapes from Final Cut Pro. Our integrator, other editors, heads of media departments have all been unable to give me a solution.

    Is there anyone out there who has figured this out?

    We print to video with our DSR-11, and DSR-20 deck every week. Our DSR-45 does not work either.
    So the more expensive, professional decks, which I’d prefer to use won’t work.

    I called Sony and could not get any help either.

    Help!

    Thanks

    More info would help.

    How are you controlling the deck?

    RS Cable?
    Firewire?

    What signal are you sending?

    Firewire?
    Component?
    Composite?
    Y/C?

    Can you capture from the deck?
    What is the settings of your sequence you are trying to print to tape?
    Does FCP see the deck?
