I think it is a service port. It isn’t RS422 for deck remote at this point in time at least.

The Keyspan 19HS like Bob states comes with it when you plop down the $$$ for the Nitris DX.

They work fine. The GT120 is fully supported by Media Composer 3.5.1 and above.

The Adapters are $29 and you can get them from apple.

They work fine. The only problems i’ve ran into were getting the right DVI cables to fit in this adapter. If you look at the picture close, you can see it doesn’t accept the DVI cables that have the four pins surrounding the flat pin.

Have you tried trashing your MCState files?

Usually this fixes annoying startup errors. However not every single one. Try trashing your MCState files and see where that gets you.

In settings under the capture heading, make sure near the bottom it is using the TC track instead of the CTL track. If it isn’t set to TC then give it a shot and let us know.

First, have you tried rebuilding your database files?

If you have try breaking your timeline into 20 minute chunks. Consolidating each one. If it fails on one chunk every time you could narrow it down to a certain clip causing problems. For instance you could try and strip everything out of your sequence except video. Try consolidating video and see if an error is returned. If not then it might be a piece of audio is corrupt etc.

Please be sure to duplicate all master sequences before you start ripping apart your sequence! It’s always a good reminder but I’ve been in a situation rebuilding a sequence because I got careless. Good luck!

Somehow this problem was fixed. Here is what I did.

Made a new project, copied my reels into it.

Broke each reel into a video and audio only version (duplicating is your friend).

From here I media Manage each of my prepared sequences via copy media, create new project.

When it’s done FCP opens the new project and magically there is 1 seqence and a bin which has all of the managed Master Clips. (it wasn’t doing this before).

I checked the media and it’s all on the correct drive linked and ready for grading in color….well after some prep that is… I’m not complaining I promise:)!

[Adam Stuart]

I wish it was that. After my files transfer I am unmounting the drives that the footage was managed from. I open the new project that the Media Manage made and thats where I have to reconnect.

I’m currently trying one more time this time i’ve broken down each reel as seperate video track and audio track sequences (doing only a small test) to see if the problems lies in one area or another.

Could it be a problem with clip renaming? If this time doesn’t work out could using “clip name” instead of “file name” in the media manage fix this?

Thanks

Did you have the Media Manager set to make a NEW project with this sequence and footage?
Yes
Did you set it to media manage the footage to another drive?
Yes

I ran media manager again making sure a new project was made from my sequences etc. I open the project and everything is offline. I reconnect media and find the appropriate directory and it then it prompts me that the media start/end times are not correct. Any other thoughts?

Thanks

If you are always using the same deck(or decks) then you could try to create a site setting once you have config’ed your deck and see if that fixes the error.
