    Problem outputting from FCP Studio to Sony HDV Deck

    Posted by Vicky Kuperman on July 15, 2008 at 4:11 pm

    Hello,
    I am having an issue controlling my device through Final Cut Studio (6.0.2).
    The computer registers the deck for Log and Capture mode and I have been capturing DV footage with no problem.
    It is a Sony HDV Deck, Model GV HD-700. It is set for DV for my DV footage.

    When it is time to playback my timeline or output back onto tape through the deck, however, I can’t get my footage to show up on the deck and I cannot control my deck through the computer.

    I tried almost every setting within Audio Video Settings, Device Control.
    I set my Video Playback to All Frames as I usually do, refreshed AV/Devices.

    I trashed my Final Cut Pro Preferences.
    I tried to see if it was a problem within the deck.
    The deck is set to:
    DV (the options are HDV, DV, Auto)
    1080i/480i (the options are 1080i/480i OR 480i)
    iLink converter: OFF

    If anyone has ever had this issue or has any ideas of what could be wrong, please let me know!
    Thanks so much,
    Vicky

    Thank you for your response.
    Yes, I did try setting iLink to ON but no luck!
    The people at SONY said to leave it off, however they were not trained in controlling the device through Final Cut so they did not end up helping me in the end.

    any luck
    the mainla sony guys are telling me that the sony Dc9 wont allow incoming HDV from print to video from FCP6
    that sounds kinds whacked?

    there has to be a way or it would not allow FCP to control the camera firewire?
    I am just not seeing an image or sound ?
    anyadvice?
