Hi Kieran, I think you nailed it. On this project I did just roll in the loads and and come back 30 minutes later. There were always more frames than expected at the end but I just figured the system would TC address the blank signal as black. Thinking back, I have never had any problem when I log and batch component and I never have any problems with digital because it does auto stop when the signal stops. It’s just a bummer now because I am faced with redigitizing about 22 hours of media and I will have to rebuild the entire show for a proper EDL. THANK YOU for your wisdom. I will never make that mistake again.

Thanks Jim for your response. Unfortunately my problem is not that simple. The TC is off on the original digitized clip and there is no consistant offset. I can look at the TC in & out on the digitized clip and manually go to that point on the original tape and it is way off. In one instance I digitized a 30 min. BSP tape with a TC break that went from Hr.06 to Hr.00 in the same tape and it didn’t even catch that. It just continued to Digitize at Hr.06. It’s not a “record run” / “free run” issue either. ????? I’m wondering if and hoping that it won’t be a P6000 hardware issue. Thanks Anyway.

Thanks Larry – I tried many DF / NDF tests and it doesn’t seem to be the problem. I even tried redigitizing directly into a bin of selects and the TC registered to the original clips are some how way off. Thank you for the suggestion though.

Thanks Bouke, I’ll take the 1800 in for a doctor’s visit and see if they can clean the TC Head. Do you think there could be a problem with the P6000 card itself?
