Deck control preview - rewind

FC 6.0.4
OSX 10.5.4
QT 7.5
While in the capture window and using deck control to play and shuttle, the preview input(in the capture window) does not update while shuttling back or rewinding. To clarify, the preview works fine while playing, fast-forwarding or shuttling forward - the preview only fails to update during rewind or shuttling backwards.
This has been tested with two systems with the versions listed above and with the following decks/cameras with the same result. The footage being used in all cases is 720p/30.
JVC HD50U
JVC GY-HD250
JVC GY-HD100
An NTSC tape was tested and doesn't have the problem.
All HDV control protocols in the device control field were tested with no change.
Is this a new bug with 720 footage or HDV control in general? Thanks in advance for any and all help!

Ive had this problem as well. I'd love to find a solution. Has anyone else seen this?

  • Random loss of deck control

    Occasionally and for no real reason FCP (5.1) loses rs422 control of my sony VTR - Im using Black magic decklink and can still control the deck with their deck control software but FCP wont play - normally when Im up against a deadline.
    Using Latest OS and Latest FCP with Decklink HD pro

    Well, as footnote to my previous post...
    I have fixed 90% of all the strange behaviour & got my Decklink card working again by doing a clean install of OS 10.4.6, upgraded to 10.4.8, installed FCS 5, upgraded to 5.1.2, installed 5.7.2 decklink drivers and I'm editing to tape again.
    BTW: I haven't installed a single other thing yet.... as I'm have just acheived this deadline with minutes to spare. PHEW!
    So i don't know what further conflicts may arise, but we'll see.
    On this first time getting ETT working again, I had to check the frame accuracy everytime as it was often 2 to 4 frames out of sync to tape.
    Then once it finally locked it crashed about 40minutes into the 86min program. So then i just did an ETT from 10 seconds before the crash and thankfully it frame-locked first time and I made my deadline.
    I'm not satisfied at all with the "looseness" of the frame-sync between FCP5 & decklink.... i had to do it about 20 times to get it to actually lock, and it still wasn't anyway... I had to compensate by 2 frames to trick it to hit the mark.
    Is this everyone's experience with FCP-5 & decklink PCIe ?

  • FCP-BlackMagic 422 deck control issues

    I have developed an issue with RS 422 deck control between my Black Magic Decklink HD Pro and a variety of Sony decks like a PVW 2800 which is my primary deck and also a DNW A25 and a DSR 1800 that I tested as well, getting the same issues.
    I get an error message: “A new tape has been inserted in the VTR. You may wish to change the Reel setting.” or “Batch Capture: Tape is unthreaded” when neither is the case. They pop up randomly. Trying to find a cause and effect but it’s still random. Tried different tapes from different cameras and a DVCAM in the DSR 1800. Same thing again. I have replaced the cable with same results.
    Hardware/software rundown is 2 x 3 GHz Dual Core Xeon w/ 8GB 667 DIMMs, OS 10.4.11, Decklink 6.2.2, Quicktime 7.4.1. FCP 6.0.2.
    I sent a note to BlackMagic Designs and got this: 'This is a known issue with the Apple platform.  It is an Apple problem and they are trying to resolve it right now.  We are hopeful to have a resolution shortly.'
    It started after I rebuilt the desktop and ran it up to OS 10.4.11, and I’m inclined to do a clean rebuild and stop at 10.4.9. which is where all things ran very well. Not interested in Leopard.
    But if anyone else has run into this issue and has some insight it would be appreciated.

    I finally found a person who's going through the same thing as me.... Have you figured it out yet? I can't get anything to work. My whole system is a write off unless this starts to work. If I don't figure it out by tomorrow I'm getting a Kona card.

  • Deck Control for non-FW decks...

    Been looking around for a day or 2 can no-el-findo. In the days of FCP v3.x people would use something called a "stealth port". Essentially an 8pin serial port that would replace the modem in your G4. Paired with an 8pin to RS422 cable you were off to the races in terms of deck control.
    With the CPU's out today where no modem is shipped, what device/method are
    people using to control RS422 ready video decks? I need a reliable way to INSERT edit onto tape with LTC timecode, not just print to tape/video.
    (Would it really be a keyspan adapter?-I'm skeptical as I've beta tested FCP v2.x
    and back then keyspan wasn't recommended)
    Thanx in advance...

    Well, here's the latest incarnation of the list, but it isn't going to tell you what you want to know:
    http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/resources/devicelist.php
    The capability of a VCR to do an insert edit has nothing to do with FCP, really. The deck has to have strong enough capstans and other internals, plus the firmware needs to be capable of an Insert edit. Then, and only then, do we need to see if Final Cut has a machine template that will allow it to communicate with that deck in a manner that allows the Insert.
    But you began by asking about NON firewire decks, which means you have a capture card or box. Which one?
    And which Sony VCR are you talking about?

  • Deck control disapeared

    I've been merrily using a Blackmagic Decklink HD Pro for ages now, turned everything off last night, all working fabulous, turned on this morning and the deck control has disappeared within FCP, got vision and audio but no deck control and it says no communication.
    However
    If I use the Blackmagic deck control software, it works fine and dandy.
    I've uninstalled and reinstalled drivers. the dv deck control is fine.
    Any ideas?
    Tim

    It's alright, all sorted
    just uninstalled and reinstalled again and it worked!

  • Captivate tool bars - page control, preview, publish button

    I am using the Lynda.com site to learn captivate. The menus are different on my pc than the instructor has in the video. I do not have the toolbar with page controls, preview, publish, view buttons. Is this because he is on a Macintosh and I am on a PC?

  • Multiple Decks... Deck control?

    How do you all control multiple decks?
    G5 -> AJA IO -> BetaSP/DigiBeta, DVCPro Deck.
    Two Part Question:
    What type of router should there be... Need space for at least 4 different decks. Suggestions on brand/model?
    How does one maintain deck control? RS422 out of AJA into/thru router to decks? Is there such a thing?
    Don't want to crawl around in the dust anymore!!
    Thanks

    If you are looking for a cheap option, patch bays work well. You will need a patch bay for co-ax cables (composite and/or component video), audio (we use TRS but could be XLR, Bantum, etc.) and 9 pin (I had to make that one myself but they may be available commercially).
    All ours live in the machine room rack and with the patch bays we can patch to either of our two edit suites or to our dub rack (25 VHS machines). We can also patch between machines for Betacam dubbing or format conversion.
    For convenience each edit suite has its own Betacam player (our most common format). The suites also have an audio mixer to enable selection (and signal modification) of the source (local deck or the machine rack). A small patch bay using linking plugs allows video connection to the local deck or the machine rack. The design allows one set of cables between the suite and the machine rack to be used for input and output. The cables loop through the client monitor on the way to the machine room.

  • BetaSP deck control

    Sorry for this post everyone...I've searched the forums but couldn't find an answer.
    Former Avid user who is making switch to FCP.
    We used a Vlan to control all our decks and in reading the post, it seems all we need is a keyspan adaptor to a 9 pin.
    Well, all is set up and plugged in but i don't see any options for deck control or timecode.
    I keep getting message that there are no serial ports on the computer.
    We need this for a client who came in last min. who needs this stuff digitized for and offline edit at DV res.
    What am i missing here...is there something i need to update?

    OK, forgive me if you've done these steps but here is how I set up my Keyspan.
    Install the KeySpan drivers (2.3 or better), restart, then insert Keyspan adaptor, launch Keyspan Serial Assistant from Applications, click the arrow to list serial ports, you should see three, KeySerial1 is a dummy and the other two verify the presence of the adaptor. Close the Assistant app.
    Launch Final Cut, go into Audio/Video Settings, Device Control Presets, Duplicate or Edit an unlocked Preset with the following settings, these are what I use for a BVW-65 and BVW-70 in NTSC:
    Protocol: Sony RS-422
    Audio Mapping: 2 Channels
    Time Source: LTC
    Port: USA28X191P1.1
    Frame Rate 29.97
    Select to: Use Deck Search Mechanism
    Capture offset: 1
    Playback Offset: +0:01
    Timecode will be read through the RS-422 protocol (via KeySpan)
    and if your connected to the proper Keyspan port (1) with the proper, working adapter cable to the proper connector on the machine (Remote-1 for BVWs) you should have communication with the machine. If not, I would stongly suspect the Keyspan.

  • GTK control previews missing

    I just installed a GTK theme from gnome-looks.org and now whenever I go to System>Preferences>Appearance the Bug Reporting tool pops up asking me to submit a bug report. Then if I try to customize a theme, I find that all the previews under Controls, Window Border, and Icons are missing.
    How might I go about fixing the problem / restoring those? I'd try to delete the theme I just installed, but I can't. Any time I highlight it the window refreshes and move my selection back to the first theme.
    [edit]
    I'd even just be happy to find the absolute path where the themes get stored so that I can manually remove the offending theme.

  • Deck Control

    Is it possible to control a videotape machine/deck with FME
    as the encoder? My deck supports either IEEE or serial port control
    of the device.
    Thanks.

    Moin, I have been successful getting an audio and video
    signal into the encoder. My inquiry is whether or not you can
    control the tape deck, with "in" and 'out" points for capture, much
    like the digitizing feature of most NLE editing systems.

  • External deck control

    hi, our tv station has a final cut pro HD editor, version 4.5, connected to a DVC-Pro AJ-D650 via a 'keyspan USA-19H' usb adapter. i've tried every protocal setting on final cut, but continue to get an error when we edit to tape. when connected to a DVC-Pro AJ-D230H, it worked fine. my question is, do we need to fix the deck or are there compatibility issues with the AJ-D650 deck? thanks!!

  • No remote control on Deck Link HD Extreme and Final Cut Estudio 2

    Hi all. I have a little problem width my video card, when i update my final cut studio 2, Final Cut can't control the deck. I try with another port, KeySpan UXA 28 and he work properly. The port RS 422 deck control by Deck link appear in the list of port in Device control tab, but "no communication" message appear. I have proven with the application "Blackmagic Deck Control" and work play and stop but it does not appear the Time Code.
    Any suggestion.
    Thanks

  • Can't control my DV deck after upgrade

    I just upgraded to Leopard and iLife 08. Had to install iLife HD 06 because I don't meet the sys req for iMovie 08. Anyway, after the upgrade I can no longer control my Sony DSR-1500 DV deck from within iMovie. I plugged my firewire cable in, it seems to recognize it and displays a frame from the DV deck on the screen, but nothing happens when I click play or import within iMovie.
    This worked fine before the upgrade.
    Please help!

    I know the DSR-1500 by reputation, but I'm not familiar with it, sorry. Maybe you could look in the Setup Menu, or read the instruction manual for suitable deck control or FireWire codes.
    Plenty of people in the Final Cut Pro Discussions use these decks, so they'd probably be able to advise.
    "..control of the DV deck now is very sporadic.." ..no; it sounds as though control is very predictable: "..When I first insert a tape, I can control it for a while so long as I use pause instead of stop. When I hit stop, I loose control of the deck. I have to eject the tape and re-insert it.."
    If it's that regular and predictable, then there's a definite reason: seems like the deck is relinquishing control, but iMovie's not picking up the control; maybe you need to define in the deck's Setup Menu exactly which device should be controlling the deck.
    If you can't solve this problem by adjusting settings within the deck's software, then, perhaps, it's appropriate for the next step: "..This didn't happen before upgrading to 10.5 and iMovie6 HD.." ..so you might want then to send some iMovie feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/imovie.html ..and perhaps something about iMovie and Leopard.
    But do ask in FCP Discussions first, and see what they say..
    P.S: You might like to add your computer type and configuration to your details, besides just Mac OS X 10.5 ..that might help troubleshooting in future..
    P.P.S: Have you upgraded to the latest version of iMovie HD 6..? Info and links to downloading are at the bottom-right of this page linked here.

  • Capture "Preview Disabled" and unable to "Capture Now"

    Okay so I don't think I'm the only one but figgured I'd post just to see what the status is.
    Today I went to capture some plain ol' DV footage from my Panasonic PV-GS500 minidv camcorder and was unable to... sorta.
    If I try to capture I get the message "preview disabled" and at the top it shows (AV)(Unknown).
    If I try to capture now i get the message "Attempt to capture video without a video device selected. Please select a video device in your capture presets and try again".
    I'm using that NTSC Anamorphic easy setup and had no troubles in the past. I beleive that it might have something to do with QT 7.3 as others have suggested.
    What makes it so strange is that if I log clips (monitoring on the cameras LCD itself) and then batch capture it appears to work fine. I can also send video to the Camera.
    Finally to top it all off it captures just fine using iMovie - but this is hardly a solution by any means.
    So anyone know what the deal is?

    You might rey first simply resetting everything to make sure nothing is interfering with the deck control. Power cycle the camera as well. Perhaps if iMovie had been communicating with the camera, FCP may not be able to work correctly with it until it was reset.
    I have read of several instance of similar problems having to do with recent upgrades, however. Hope you are not one of the unlucky ones having issues with QT , FCP, OS versions etc.

  • Lack of Capture Preview in PPro CS5 Using A/D Blackmagic Multibridge Eclipse

    Hi all,
    Intersting issue here...just purchased and  configured a new Blackmagic Multibridge Eclipse I/O box.  SO far so good  in terms of up/down conversion etc., but having a bit of an issue  establishing a connection with our Sony PVW-2800 Betacam Deck.  I have  gone through the Blackmagic manual etc. and we have all of our settings  adjusted correctly in PPro and do get an auditory/visual preview on our  true-color LCD monitor/external audio mixer.  It is hte lack of visual  in the PPRo capture window that is the problem.  Remote deck control is  funcitoning fine, and we are able to click the red record button and the  timecode does start rolling, but when record is stopped, no clip pops  into the set project bin.
    What am I missing here?  Device Control is set to Blackmagic, format is NTSC 4:3 and DV.  Let me  know if you need any more specifications.  Maybe this is still a  Blackmagic problem...but with some trial/error it seems to point to  PPro.  We are able to succesfully capture using Blackmagic Express.
    Thanks for the feedback,
    Lindsay

    What do you have the input in the Blackmagic control panel in windows control panel set to? Is it set to SDI, Component, HDMI, Y/C, or Svideo?
