Thanks Walter – yeah, my first attempt was jamming it thru the firewire bc I know that TC will carry thru on DI connection. Sadly I get nothing – pic, audio nor TC. Next I tried with the DUP method on the DSR25 which, in theory with other decks, allows for deck control but not with this Panasonic. What makes all this worse is that the production company purchased this deck from my suggestion for this very function and now I can’t make it work. Can you say $32,000 mistake. I’m dying here.
