FCP6 - KONA 3 - SONY HDW D1800 deck- HELP!

Hey all--
Footage DVCPRO HD 720p24
Timeline 720p 23.98
Need to deliver HDCAM 1081i 29.97
I've Black&coded the tape--I've got deck control- I can insert edit. I've got my KONA3 card upconverting 720 signal to 1080i
I can hear audio on tape on playback, but the video is a big green checker board kind of thing. I've got something botched up.
SHANE- I touched on this a while ago, and under your suggestion, you believed that this method would work, what am I missing????
Anyone please DECK has to go back 2morrow morn!!
Thanks Z

Try setting the RS-422 device control setting to LTC+VITC.

Ghosting Problem in HD project (shot with Sony HDW-F900)

Hi, I'm having a problem with 'ghosting,' at least I think that's the word for it. Essentially when there is motion in the frame, I see the previous frame sort of 'on top of it,' resulting in 'motion trails.' Can anyone suggest how to fix this?
Here are my settings...project was shot with Sony HDW-F900 HDCAM 24p
720x480 NTSC DV
Pixel Aspect Ratio: NTSC CCIR 601 / DV 720x480
Frame Rate 23.98
Compessor: DVCPRO HD 1080i60
Render all YUV material in high-precision YUV
Process Maximum White as: White
Motion Filtering Quality: Best
Filters, Frame Blending for Speed, and Motion Blur are checked
Any help would be great...thanks!

when you capture hdcam shot at 23.98 you need to come in HDSDI and the deck set to 23.98. If you have the deck set to 23.98PD you'll be getting 29.97 tc down the 422 control not 23.98. If you use the PD setting and the dvcproHD 1080i60 you get footage with pulldown, the cadence being set by the 24 frame, 30 frame, options in the menus of the deck. these should be set so evry second on the second the time code matches. Sony actually uses 23.98 timecode in 1080Psf. Your rental house should be able to provide a workflow for you. My guess is the ghosting is not ghosting but interfield motion, now that you are not in a progressive format.

What software do I need to download for a Sony XDCAM HD deck?

I need to ingest media from a Sony XDCAM HD deck. What software/drivers do I need to download? I believe it is a log and transfer app. Any ideas?
Thanks much.
Best.
Tom

Just for future reference, AJA has a free app called "AJA VTR Xchange" that would capture just fine for you. It would probably capture directly from the camera, also.

Will idvd with a new MacBook Pro work with a DVCAM deck? I'm using firewire to burn a DVD from a DVCAM tape in a Sony DSR-30 deck but it isn't working.

Bit of googling wouldn't go astray.

Premiere Pro CS5 Compatibility with Sony DSR-25 Deck

I have recently upgraded my computer to support cs5. I have a PNY Nvidia Quadro 2000 graphics card, 8 gb ram, an Intel Xeon 5150 processor and Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. My issue comes with running this system connected via firewire to a Sony DSR-25 deck. When connected, while working on a project, at any point I click on the file menu, it takes several seconds (sometimes half a minute) to load the drop-down menu. This is frustrating, but not entirely detrimental. The main problem is that when I try to capture video (I use the keyboard shortcut F5 to bypass my previous issue) the capture video will usually crash the program, or it will take forever and when I try to capture, it will miss almost the entire first minute of video trying to catch up. It starts rolling the tape, but just doesn't physically begin capturing at that time. I spoke to someone at Adobe and we narrowed the problem down to an issue with the deck, and I am trying to figure out if this deck is absolutely not compatible with this system or if there is some sort of work-around.

Try this:
In Windows: Click on Start -> Control Panel -> System -> Device Manager (up on top left), or just click the Start button and search for "device manager."
Swivel down the entry for "IEEE 1394 Bus host controllers, and right-click on the item that is revealed (will depend on your computer/card manufacturer). Select "Update Driver Software."
Click the "Browse my computer for driver software," and then the "Let me pick from a list" button.
In the list of drivers, select the one that has "(Legacy)" at the end; click Next, and then Close all the dialogs.
Try capturing again.

Sony J30 SDI Deck, New Mac Pro FireWire 800, Arrgghhhhh!!!!

Anyone else had this problem and got around it?
We have a new MacPro that only has Firewire 800. We usually shoot DigiBeat and capture via a Sony J30 SDI deck using Firewire (before you say it, I know, but its fine for what we need).
We have tried a FireWire 6 pin to 9 pin cable but FCP refuses to recognize the deck. Have tried another cable in case it was that.
We used a standard Firewire 400 cable from the deck to a Ext HD, then a Firewire 800 out of the HD to the Mac. Surprisingly this worked, Once!
Can you get a FireWire 400 for the new Mac Pros?

+A Mac Pro (desktop) has Firewire 400 and 800. (edit) Sorry, I didn't realize Apple dropped this from the desktops as well.+
Yup, Firewire 800 only now on the Pro macs.
+Are you referring to a new MacBook Pro? If so, only the 17" model can accept a PCMCIA card.+
John's talking about a MacPro tower, not a laptop. FWIW The 17" MBP sports an ExpressCard/34 interface not PCMCIA which is much older and slower technology. PCMCIA wont work in an ExpressCard slot without an adapter
+I think I would obtain a Firewire 800 to 400 (direct) cable (Apple store) and not daisy chain between the computer and the deck. Most Firewire problems can be traced to daisy chaining.+
I think John's first post mentions that he's already tried this ... unfortunately unsuccessfully as that would have been the obvious option.

FC Studio 5.1 "crossgrade": Sony DSR-11 deck support

the Apple FC Studio 5.1 supported devices list does not include the Sony DSR-11 deck:
http://images.apple.com/finalcutstudio/pdf/20060403FinalCutStudio_QualifiedDevices.pdf
does anyone know definitively whether or not this deck can function with the FCStudio 5.1 cross-grade version?
thanks.

That only means Apple hasn't completed testing it yet.

Sony DSR 30 Deck not recognised

Hello,
I'm running FCP 3 & 5 and I use a Sony DSR 30 deck. The deck works fine on FCP 3, but having just got a new mac running Tiger and FCP 5, it no longer works.
I have checked on the Fire Bus and it is not listed. My other Firewire devices work and are listed when connected,just not the DSR 30 deck.
I have also trashed my QT receipts and re-installed QT manually, but this has not improved matters.
If my deck is nor showing up on the Fire Wire bus is it fair to conclude it is not supported?
If so is there a fix?
cheers,
Dame

Try a firewire bus reset:
- unplug ALL firewire cables from all ports on the computer
- unplug the power cord from the computer
- let the computer sit for 15-30 minutes (probably takes less time but you want to make sure all power drains from relvent capacitors on the motherboard)
The key point is if there are any connections to the firewire ports on the mac, the machine will not reset the firewire bus.
Also, the sequence of reconnection is important:
- connect the deck to the computer directly (no daisy chaining)
- power up the deck
- plug in the computer
- power up the computer
- check for the presence of the deck using system profiler.
After this if the deck doesn't show up in system profiler, time to take it in for service.
If the deck does show up but doesn't work with FCP, the quicktime-trash receipts and reinstall is the usual solution. It has been noted to take more than one attempt to get it to 'take'.
good luck.

Can't preview 1920x1080 timeline on HDTV via Sony HDV deck - help!

I am trying to play back from my 1920x1080 HDTV timeline (from FCP on MacBook) on an LG HDTV by connecting to a Sony HDV deck via firewire 800, and then going out from the deck via component to the tv – however, I am having problems not being able to get a clean video signal & it seems that the deck cannot process the video stream properly. After scouring the internet and various forums, the only conclusion that I can reach is that because the HD video needs to be processed, it is impossible to properly view the footage back via this method without something like a Blackmagic Decklink card/conversion syste. This is quite a big problem for me, as I will probably in the future have to use the same method just to play out to tape (on the HDV deck) and no matter what settings I have tried, it just doesn't want to work!
Any hints or tips to bypass this without the need for any other external hardware? Would something like a Mini DVI to VGA Adapter Cable help at all – we have one of those.

FW800 can't stream full uncompressed HD video, which is what the HDTV needs. You need an HDMI connection. You're going to need an AJA Knoa LHi or some other such card. You may want to look into a less expensive option such as the MXO2 if you only want to see the image on an HDTV and not on a qualified Production Monitor.
Going from FCP back to the deck is a totally different issue and not a problem. HDV is highly compressed so it can stream via FW connection. FCP using the Print To Tape function will take your Sequence and send a native HDV signal back to your deck, just when it captured from the deck.
HDTV will not be good enough for evaluating image quality and color correction, FYI. It will only give you an idea of what your vide will look like on that specific brand and model of HDTV.
DVI and VGA have nothing to do with what you're trying to do. They are only for going out to a computer monitor (not the same as a TV) or a projection system.

Unable to initialize video deck help

Yesterday my sony dvcam deck that had been working well for around 3 years failed to initialize and I can't get final cut to recognize it. I've tried everything. I trashed the prefs, reinstalled final cut, reinstalled quicktime, deleted the quicktime receipts, different presets etc. and nothing seems to work. I can capture video with imovie and quicktime but final cut won't recognize it. I have nowhere else to turn!
Any help would be appreciated,
Tim

"...When the problem occurred my versions were:
OS - 10.4.11
FCP - 5.1.4
QT - 7.6.2..."
This may have started the issue. FCP 5.1.4 works best with the OS you list, but also QT 7.1.2(or3). Inadvertently upgrading QT above this has been know to bungle FW connectivity.
My guess is that you process of upgrading FCS hasn't cleared the issue.
So, you may be correct, in that...depending on how you accomplished the FCS upgrade, you may need to restart the process.
Since I've not had to do this, I'll let others post details, or search this forum for somethiing like... "FCP doesn't recognize", or some such terminology. We've seen this often in the past.
Best procedure is to do a complete archive/erase/install of all components...OS/FCP/QT, which gets you up to date with best clean combination.
This link may be of assistance regarding best combos...

EDIT - just noticed you're on a PPC G5. My understanding is that G5's will not work with Snow Leopard, so be advised...Leopard is as high as you should go with the OS.

Log and capture with Sony A1U camera, Sony HD700 HDV deck

Hello,
I am still having problems capturing HDV from a Sony GV HD700.

with certain decks and cameras not able to capture with Final cut 7?
I am stumped. Settings are HDV.....1080I 60 ... on presents.
thanks

I am trying to hook my macbook pro up to my old sony trinitron tv! HELP!

I have all the right cords... at least I think. I have VGA SVGA to S-Video 3 RCA TV AV Converter Cable Adapter, a s video cable (male), and a Mini DisplayPort to VGA Female Adapter for Mac. I tried plugging all these things in, but none of it worked. I do not know if I am just pluggin stuff in wrong or if I do not have the right settings or what. Thanks!

It would be helpful if you indicated what EXACT model MBP you have and the connections available on your TV.
Note that resolution on your older SONY is not going to be very good compared with your MBP.
Ciao.
Please also indicate what OSX you have installed on your MBP.

Thank you for your responses guys!
This is how I managed to fix the problem...and I hope this helps others in the similar situation.
I tried with another program..latest version of Nero, and this was also stopping at the 'initialising' stage. I was now lost! I thought the last resort is to give Evesham (My PC manufacturer) a buzz. They were very helpfull. Basically go into 'Control Panel', 'System', and click on the Hardware tab, then 'Device Manager'. Uninstall everything in the DVD/CDRom Drives. Then uninstall everything under the catagory IDE ATA/Atapi disk controllers. This is where my problem was, as I only had one IDE channel here. You should have 4 or 5! Reboot your machine, and everything will automatically re-load. I tried burning using Nero and it worked. Then the big test was iTunes. It worked 1st time!
I asked why the IDE channels have dissappearred, and he said sometimes uninstalling Programmes occasionally removes them.
I hope this will help others who are having problems to burn stuff on iTunes. I can give more info if you need it.
