I’ll test my 1800 tomorrow and get back to you. I upgraded to 7.1.3 and haven’t used the RS-422 since, but I haven’t heard any grumblings about the QT upgrade either.

Can you test the computer with another deck or the deck with another 422 controller?

Regards,
David

Thank you David…i do not have another deck with a 422 interface, but I can confirm that, on the same CPU, Pro Tools does control the 1800 just fine, through the G-port and a MOTU Digital Timepiece. It just seems that FCP isn’t seeing the G-port correctly, even though the settings are right, and Gport shows up in the device control settings window correctly.

It’s maddening!!

<< Sorry, I have to ask.... you checked the remote switch on the 1800? Reseated the cables? Good questions, all affirmative. And I've tried 2 different cables, too. I'm stumped.

If you go into the Capture preset, there is a menu to reset your RS-422 port. (you may even see in the summary that the port needs to be reset)

John, thanks for your response…I do not see that option anywhere, perhaps because I do not have a digitizer card (Kona, black magic) that supports serial machine control. I just do Firewire DV capture with a JVC SRVS30 deck, but I often have to output to Beta SP, so I need to control the deck. I’ve always just connected the serial cable to the Griffin G-Port on the back, and to the UVW-1800. It used to work fine. But suddenly there is no communication. A guy at SOS-APPL thought it might have been the QT 7.1.3 upgrade. I dunno..
