How about using the PDW-D1? We are attempting this, and having poor results.
The D1 has NO controls on deck, it is designed to be used as a ‘drive’ in either ‘FAM’ – File Access Mode or AVC – like a tape deck.
You use a PC with an application to set the deck to not allow FAM mode- and this seems to work on the PC.
But as soon as you plug the firewire into the Mac, FAM light activates on deck.
FCP log and capture says deck is fine- but preview is disabled and there is no machine control. It seems I had this working once a couple weeks ago- but can not get it to go now.
Any ideas?
