Problem loading DVCPro HD from AJ-HD1200a

[Gary Adcock]

We went through the menus again last night and Menu Item 020, SYS FORMAT, was set to 720p. When we switched it to 1080i, FCP recognized the deck. Is this normal? The footage was from a 720p Varicam.

This is definitely wrong, there is something else messed up here. what is the deck set to in the 600 menu’s it sounds as if the deck settings for the format was incorrectly set also.

from Varicamp in New London CT.

I know the 894 menu was setup correctly. We went through all of the menus, and when they were setup correctly, we had nothing. I know it doesn’t make any sense, but the change int he 020 menu did the trick. Anyway the deck is gone now and all the footage is in, so “c’est la vie.”

Wayne- the 020 level menus in the 1200a deck set the video out signal – if you were changing the the 020 menu (0000 is 720 / 0010 is 1080) it sounds as if
A) tape was the wrong format
B) deck was setup incorrectly
