  • Serial port settings?

    Posted by Tom John on May 13, 2005 at 6:05 pm

    Hi, guys,

    I’m using Avid Express HD, controlling a Sony UVW-1800 Beta deck with the necessary rosetta adapter. (On an HP PC.)

    HOWEVER… When I attempt to capture, the computer keeps telling me that “Coms 1 is busy and cannot be used for deck control.” I went into the Coms 1 port settings, but all the submenus are pretty cryptic.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks!

    Tom

    I’m not sitting in front of my XPress, but I seem to remember in the tools menu, there is a sub-meunu called comm closer, or serial port settings (come to think of it, comm closer is in mac).

    Try that. I think you have to tell Avid which serial port you want to use….
