Hi Walter,
Thanks for the relpy. The AJ D455 doesn’t have this switch on the front panel, nor in the menus that I can see. I am able to ‘print to tape’ from FCP with my configuration and it works fine. . just can’t ‘edit to tape’?? I wonder if it’s a FCP issue? For background: I had been using firewire between my G5 and the Pani deck and was able to use the ‘edit to tape’ mode with no problem. Had a firewire switch between the Pani deck and the AJA Io (which brought in the Beta deck). I wouldn’t recomend using a firewire switch. It caused numerous problems with FCP preferences and routinely crashed the system. That’s why I re-configured my system to run everything through the AJA Io.
