Tascam FW-1082 and Sony DVW-A500
Hello all. I’m in the market for a new audio mixer. I’m thinking about the Tascam FW-1082 but was wondering if I could use that with my AJA IO and a digibeta(Sony A500) deck. If so, how would you connect everything? Here’s my list of equipment that matters.
Apple G5 dp 2.7
AJA IO
Sony A500
JVC SR-VS30UMy main concern is can I export a cut through the mixer to DigiBeta? My SDI out (AJA IO) acts a little funky sometimes. I think it might be a Tiger issue even though I have the latest drivers installed. I know this may seem like a lot or even a dumb question. Yet, I’d rather be safe than sorry.

You don’t have a chance unless you take one.

I have a similar set-up but with a Decklink card and the Tascam. I find there are huge timing problems if I try and play audio through the Tascam and video via SDI. The Tascam is a great control surface, but I don’t think it does a great job trying to remain synced with video.
I run SPDIF audio from the Decklink card into the Tascam for monitoring, which is in sync and you can still use it as a control surface, It’s only when I use the Tascam as an audio output device in FCP that it wanders all over the place in relation to the picture. When I’m outputting to tape I use embedded SDI.
