syncing digital console w/automation to PT?
I'm sure some of you are syncing a digital console w/ automation to PT. Have you had any problems using the console's automation? Any problems locking the two up? Any help/thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

Re: syncing digital console w/automation to PT?
no problems at all here. I'm using a MicroLynx to take the MTC out of PT and turn it into LTC that my console needs, but you don't need anything that fancy unless you'll also be syncing other tape machines.

Re: syncing digital console w/automation to PT?
Thanks for replying KingTor and I'm glad to hear you're not having any problems. A friend of mine is looking to replace his current editor with PT and had heard there were problems, namely with 9-pin connections. This seemed kind of strange to me, but to be honest I haven't had any experience configuring such a system. Is it common to use a 9 pin connection for machine control on consoles w/ automation? I thought it was mainly for Sony tape decks.
Thanks |

The budget digital mixers (Panasonic DA7, 02R, etc.) all use MTC, not 9-pin.

Re: syncing digital console w/automation to PT?
yeah, and PT doesn't use 9-pin unless you get the Machine Control option (and a Universal Slave Driver, I think) and I've heard varrying reports about how well it uses 9-pin even with machine control, although I see that they're beefing that option up with version 5.1.
I've just got PT being controlled by MTC from the Lynx. |

Re: syncing digital console w/automation to PT?
beau, as long as you have the PT display showing timecode rather than session time, both sample rates are the same, you're sending MTC to the DA7 via OMS, etc., you shouldn't be having any problems. I have PT and a DA7 working perfectly here.
You might post your question on www.DA7.com - there's a pretty good bulletin board there. |
