Hello,

thank you very much, have to say… what a nice picture of the back of the machine…

what I did is I simply connected one BNC from the composite and from the SDI output directly into the computer BNC plugs… avoiding the loom altogether and using it only for the audio… what i gathered is that the computer does not need the ext.sync signals anyway… apparently it works perfectly and i have been digitising now over 8 hours….

but … another problem happened..

yesterday i was using the analogue version of the J3 which has no firewire and much less options on its back while today I had to use exactly the machine which is on your picture. I observed this morning that digitizing about 3 and a half hours costed me 70 Gb which really is about 10 Gb pro 30 minute Digibeta Tape. Today , however… SHOCK, after 4 more hours FCP said my memory was full… and I had only 2 Gb left…. I went to check the individual quicktime files on the capture scratsh and found that each 30 minute tape had an average of 50 Gb!!! one even took 74Gb!! Is this normal? Did I change something without noticing or is this really possible?

Thank you soo much

Jasmine
