That is exactly the recorder I was planning on using. My sales guy got me in touch with a engineer at For-A and he said the frame sync should take less than that, but that is still better than MX-1 I’m currently using (it keeps dying on me!). Thanks for your legwork and for sharing your experience with me. I’m thinking I’m going to go with AJA.

I’m going to get nailed on delay because of my I/O needs and making it compatible for our older projectors, so I’m just worried about the cumulative delay until we get everything to HD-SDI.

Thanks again.

Ya- the For-A I’ve chosen has built in Frame Synchronizers Re-sizing Engine on each input. My Concern is purely the converter reliability and latency at this point.

I just noticed that i was running drop on the camera and non drop on the drive, I set them to the same, tried both drop and non drop on both devices and there was no change.

Sorry I’ve been MIA for a while. Junk comes up…

On my camera, Under the recording setup menu:

Rec format is 1080i/60i
480i rec mode is dvcpro50
Rec function is normal
One shot time is 1 f
interal time is 2f
Prerec mode is off
Mic Alc is on
Mic gain is -50 db
Mic gain is -50 db also
25m Rec Ch Sel is 2ch
TC mode is DF
TCG is rec run
TC preset is —-
Ub Mode is Frm Rate
UB preset is —-

On the FS-100, I’ve got:
Record: Normal

HDD Mode: DVCPRO HD REC

DV FORMATS: p2

Setup:
V.4.0.0
Stop no video
Ext Ctl Off
TC Rec Run
TC Non Drop

Control: Tapeless

I can produce non p2 files fine. I shot a 4 hour concert (blue grass, KILL ME!) on it fine. The problem arises when I am shooting p2 files. I’ve tried different resolutions. Is there a firmware upgrade for my camera that I need to run?

I am lost.

Ya, I did organize P2 files. It makes the contents folder and the last clip.txt, I copy it off the drive, and I got to play it in like P2CMS and it has a red x on it and when I play the clip, P2CMS says the clip is incomplete.

Can you give me a better idea of what specs you’re looking for? Between the two devices, there are a ton of options…
