Hi Shane,
As I explained in my first post:
[Alyssa Ryvers] I can get Media Composer to chase my VTR via an Addenda 2/9 USB -> SONY 9-pin serial adaptor (RS-232 <-> RS-422), but I cannot get FCP to connect with my VTR no matter what I do…
The point being that I can get the hardware working using MC — but so far, not FCP, which is why I’m asking…
I am not actually capturing video, which is why I am NOT using a video capture card; I am actually just using the SONY 9-Pin RS-422 protocol to sync two computers. Do you think I could get FCP7 or X to do this? Might I need to buy a new piece of hardware?

Thanks so much, Shane!
The control for the deck is connected via it’s SONY 9-Pin (serial) out to this RS-422 to RS-232 converter (switchable): https://www.addenda.com/addenda-elect/products/rs29.php;
from that converter to this Keyspan serial to USB converter: https://www.tripplite.com/sku/USA19HS/
These were the hardware recommendations for Media Composer, which now chases my deck.
Do you know whether FCPX will work both as a master and slave if it receives DV or HDV via firewire?
Best,
Alyssa
