Activity Forums Apple Final Cut Pro Legacy Sharing a Deck

  • Posted by Chuck Ellis on August 16, 2006 at 3:31 pm

    My place of employment has purchased two Final Cut systems and one Panasonic SD255 DVC-Pro deck to share between them. They’ve given me the task of finding a firewire A/B switch to allow the deck to switch from one Mac to the other. So far, all I’ve found is switches for going from two decks to one computer, but not the other way around.

    Ocean Matrix makes some 4×4 firewire switchers that I could make work, but I’d like to know if anyone out there knows a better way.

    Thanks!
    Chuck

    I don’t know about Firewire, but as for Ocean Matrix, I have one of their component switchers and it is rock solid. FWIW.

    Doesn’t the Ocean Matrix 4×4 do what you want it to? Are you looking for something more simple than that? The 4×4 has room for growth.

    Kramer has something like the ocean matrix https://www.kramerelectronics.com/indexes/item.asp?pic=294

    Also check with http://www.markertek.com, they have about 8 or 10 products to choose from and their prices look good.
