    Hi All,

    Running Xpress Pro Mojo 5.7 SD. Getting the message “Video signal present but not captured” when trying to capture from a UVW-1800 Beta deck. Never had this problem previously…everything appears to be running normally otherwise…Can output to deck via Digital Cut without a problem…Same problem if I try to capture live…Need help!

    I’m sure this doesn’t help but I’m having that problem on Media Composer 2.8 also. Plus now I’m having problems with Digital Cut.

    I thought it was because I upgraded to Media Composer but if you have it,maybe it’s the x.8 upgrade? I can’t downgrade to Xpress again so I’m kinda screwed with my coming deadlines. But I feel your pain….

    Hey John,

    My bad for not posting a solution back to the COW…believe it or not, I actually got steered in the right direction on an Avid.com forum!

    For me, it was all about the version matrix. I had been having display issues with my second monitor a few days prior to the problem I posted, and my IT guy “solved” the problem by upgrading to the latest nVidia drivers. That upgrade screwed me for capturing from tape, although everything else on the Avid worked perfectly! The people on the Avid.com forum were also asking me to check my QT version and make sure it lined up with your Avid version.

    So, start there…were there any QT or video driver updates recently?
