I use a Wacom with Xpress Pro HD Studio Complete 5.1.3 on XP with no problems. When I upgraded from Xpress Pro 4.1.1 to Studio I did notice some issues with the Wacom. Just reinstalled the latest drivers from the Wacom website and all is great again.

Can’t imagine editing without the Wacom now. I suggest you keep trying to make this work.

I have been so disgruntled with the quality of the audio coming from my mixer (stereo mini jack) into my computer that I upgraded to the Studio Complete system. Now I use the Digi 002 mixer to go firewire into the computer for audio, bypassing the analog in entirely.

There are other options to do this, but Studio Complete is great for me because of all the other resources it adds (like AvidDVD).

Is anyone looking into this for their Avid systems?

A couple of the moderators at the DVXuser site are purchasing them and will write up a review, I’m told.

Well, I figured it out. Or, rather, my ACSR did. James Beattie at CTG. A really good guy who knows his stuff.

I have my Avid hooked up to my home network via ethernet on a router firewalled from the internet. Apparently, even though the Mojo exists on its own firewire bus (the internal one), this bus still competes with the Ethernet card for bandwidth/resources. Unplug the ethernet cable (or disable the network using My Computer) and, voila, no more DMPort Errors. Never happens again.

James went on to tell me that if I swap the hardware between firewire cards (Digi 002 and firewire drives on the internal card and Mojo on the installed card) all will be well, too. Even though Avid recommends Mojo on the internal, as long as they are seperate, no problems or conflicts.

Hope this helps anyone else who might be fighting this bug.

BTW, Avid never did speak up about this problem, even though I posted here, on the Avid-L, Avid Commuinty Forums, et al.

Yep, my Mojo is definitely seperate from my external hard drives (although the Digi 002 is on the same card as the hard drives). My project is a total of 5 – 6 hours, divided up among nine programs.

I have decided that I cannot use external firewire drives to suppliment storage on something so long and so critical. If I can limp through this one, I will go the route of internal/external SCSIs, unless the new SATA configurations prove reliable.

I’m getting the error on a totally certified system. Xpress Pro 5.1.3.

See my post below.

Still waiting for someone to chime in on this one. Put this on the Avid-L and the Avid Xpress Pro and Studio forums, and Avid has not responded.

Tim?? Marianna??

Thanks,

Are you using a Rosetta stone or data Mate serial to 422 converter? Are the lights working on it?

If so, have you gone into deck configuration and used auto-configure correctly?
