Yes, it was updated before and after 5.1.2
Now I have those looping problems again also. Were they not fixed? Oh, my bad – I had the system prefs on Aggregate driver. When I took it off Aggregate the audio was fine. But still no component out

I am exporting a quicktime file both reference and self contained. In the export process it stretches. It is not as big a difference as going from 4:3 to 16×9 but it is very prominent. Then I import it into compressor and I was hoping to use a pillar effect to bring it into perspective, but I can’t find one.

If AJA suggested to upgrade both, I would do it. The sync problem has been around for a while now and I have spoken several times with the AJA tech people. I just notice they have a new version and I can’t wait to download it. It should correct several issues and I am hoping the sound sync will be one of them.
Good luck.

I have not had a color problem that I did not create myself. Most likely cause is white balance. I’ve not been relying on the auto white balance. Find it much more accurate to balance before each scene change.

Hello,
I am having a similar problem. I need to capture in Final Cut from the HVX200 tape out. I cannot get a connection Through FW. I don’t remember this happening before. I am using a Mac Book Pro with Leopard 10.5.2. I’ve used two different HVX200 with the same result. Also using HD out same problem.
Anyone?

Probably, I’ll let you know how it goes at the end of the month.

I have one helper with sales but I need to pick up someone to help run cables and troubleshoot in case a camera goes down in NYC. The only thing is I hate taping cables. But I have often done concerts by myself without sales. Each camera just takes two Cat-5 cables run back to a switcher. I usually just run a stereo pair of mikes or there is an audio engineer that gives me a stereo mix.
I have a truck that has everything in it for concerts. I just run the cables back to it and all my gear is there. I can switch 5 cameras. Three on remote and two operators, one with a jib.

Thank you Mark for taking the time to respond to my post.
This is what my situation and set up will be. But since it is my first convention I was hoping to get some feedback to what I am attempting.
I am recording 200 High School singers one at a time for a competition. Between each student I will press stop and then record again to make separate files. If there is a long interlude I can press “pause” and keep the file going. I will be doing this simultaniously for each room.
The first day I will have four cameras using S-VHS out or component analog 480i out to 4 Sony DV Direct DVD recorders which will be in one place that I can control them. I usually go component analog into the Gefen Component extenders up to 300 feet to get a superb picture. Three of my cameras are on remote pan tilt but I may just leave them on one position.
Later I have master classes in each room which will have a longer time for each student at a professional level. THe reason I am recording to DVD and not to Hard Drives is the time it takes to encode mpeg2 files. Drives me NUTS!. So recording directly to Mpeg2 I eliminate a lengthy process. Also, After each DVD fills up I will put in a new one for each player and dump what I have recorded to a hard drive for burning later.
The final two days are concerts which I will do a multi camera live switch through a Panasonic HD Switcher directly to Final Cut through the AJA IO HD Also I will downconvert to SD on the DVD recorder to duplicate the concert on site for the participants and audience sales.
My audio mics (stereo for each room) will go into a Ramsa DA-7 and 4 stereo pairs to the separate recorders so I can control the mic levels. Also, If there is any delay in the video I can delay the audio to match.
I think this should work ok. What I don’t know is if there is an adapter to take my SD Component signal down to SVHS input for the DVD recorders. That is all I need not to complete the system.

Thanks for the heads up. I know it could not be as easy as I anticipated.

I have dealt with this issues many times and I find the easiest way is just lock down the video track and channel 1 and 2 and delete the others. The red bar goes away for good.
