Default Re: Dolby E mix on DVCAM, Which decks are supported?

I may be wrong as it has been a few years since I did a Dolby E layback, but I think that the bitstream is 20bit so you need a deck that can do more than 16bit AES pairs as that is how the bitstream is recorded. So if the DVCAM deck has 24bit/48k AES inputs and you can set the dvcam to "cut" on insert edit instead of crossfade (or just don't do an insert edit) it should work. Or maybe the deck has to be set to 20 bit? I'm foggy on this.

I'm sure someone will be along shortly to either confirm this or correct this. Either way, I hope this helps get you in the right direction.
