Have an additional question regarding AJA VTR Exchange. We have been using VTR exchange to record studio segments and edit those clips on FCP. Question is, is there a codec that will work and be editable on a PC based Avid?

I’ve tried the DVCPro HD codec. On the Avid audio is great but video is a solid white frame.

Thanks for any tips,

Peter, thanks for the tip. Our VTR exchange and Xserves were puchased through a reseller that handles Virtual VTR so I hope they knew what they were doing.

I installed AJA VTR Xcahnge on both boxes this morning and it works well, not nearly as clunky/klugy as Virtual VTR. During our day of training we were told to restart the Virtual VTR app after each setting change. AJA VTR exchange is not as touchy.

Only questions I have for AJA is that we can only get audio in as embedded even though our Kona 3 has AES connected. Timecode is being caputred and displayed during capture which is nice.

Thanks again to all for the info!

I’m also having an IMX 50 playback issue….files created on Telestream Pipeline HD on a Mac. These files playback great on a Mac. Trying to get them to playback with QT on a PC is the problem. One one PC with VLC they playback. On another PC without VLC, QT can not play the files back.

Is there a difference between MXF IMX and the QT version?

Thanks!
