Hi

Yes it’s a GEN 10 and all the sync was done right… Deck set to ext ref, AJA to ref in, GEN 10 set to HD.
A friend of mine asked if I had the SDI output of the deck connected at the same time as it was receiving a HD signal from the AJA SDI out to the deck’s SDI in… and it was. He says that in digi betas and in HDcam decks that causes a loss of sync… somehow…

I’d glad to learn about the condition light and what it means though… but that still doesn’t find me the cause of all of this.

Again the recording was crappy only when I remoted the deck to the AJA and was controlling through the device protocols in FCP. (edit to tape mode) When crash recording everything was fine… sync et all…

the PDV 2000 is the deck’s model number… it’s the standard run of the mill Sony HDcam deck. With stand alone tape to tape editing capabilities… like in the old news editing suites… one recorder deck connected to a player deck… and you could use the front panel of the recorder deck to control both decks and do some linear cutting…

hello Jerry

great it works … thanks much

[Jean Baillargeon]

I think it’s Compressor 2.3 under FCP 5.1.4

Hi

In the compressor, uner the Inspector tab, under the geometry tab have you tried selecting “contrain to” option… it worked for me…

good luck

Hey

I was already do the SDI out capture to a dv codec… I wanted to know if there was a more streamlined way of just accessing the XDCAM data. You mentioned using the media manager to recompress to another codec. Does the timecode data stay the same across the rrepcompress cause I tried exporting the uncompressed files to another codec and timecode did not track across…

thanks

Jean

Hi Gary

Sorry… I looked on Sony’s site for the lug in you mentionned… couldn’t find anything relating… can you be more specific…

As well… I thought the only media on XDCAM disks was uncompressed except for the proxy files which I can’t use in FCP or maybe I can and just don’t know how to do

Thanks for the advice…

Hi Jerry

Thanks…. I already had tried that since it looked like firewire was only seeing the deck as a destination not as a playback interface… It was also the only menu where the HDV 1080 60i option was not dimmed out…

The rig wouldn’t generate a signal to the deck…

ah well…

in the mean time I,ve decided to bite the bullet and buy a Kona card and a new G5… expensive solution but when it has to get out… it has to get out….

cheers
