  problem printing out to HDV tape through M1U

  Posted by Michael Garske on March 6, 2008 at 9:04 pm

  Hello. I have clips that are HDV 1080i60 that I am trying to output to tape by way of Print To Video on a Sony M1U. I ran into several other problems leading up to this one & can’t seem to find my way around it. The issue I’m having is that when I begin to print to tape the deck’s screen displays the message invalid input. The deck captures the video fine for about five seconds & then it displays the error message & cuts out.

  My A/V settings are as follows:

  Sequence: HDV 1080i60
  Capture: HDV
  Device control preset: Sony HDV Firewire
  Video playback: none
  audio: default

  Under ‘A/V devices tab’ FCP wont let me uncheck the ‘different output for edit to tape/ print to video’ option. Here I have ‘HDV (1440 x 1080) 60i’ selected for video & ‘HDV’ selected for audio.

  Sequence settings are as follows:

  Frame size: 1440 x 1080
  Aspect ratio: HD 1440 x 1080
  field dominance: upper (odd)
  timebase: 29.97
  compressor: HDV 1080i60

  The clips have the same settings as these.

  Could the odd field dominance have anything to do with it? I thought upper odd was for PAL only & lower even NTSC. True? I’ve tried it both ways and neither works. And fiddled with about everything I think would make a difference, no luck.

  Can anyone help or have any 2 cents on the matter? Thank you as always for your input.

  Mike
