Avid pc to PT mac
What is the most reliable way , (using removable scsi drives) to bring the media composer omf export ,from the Avid station (pc) to the PT station (mac) ?
The point is : Is it possible to mount a scsi pc drive on the mac, or should I go with a hfs mac drive to the avid pc station ? BTW is there any way to initialize a dos hard disk on a mac ? I think I did it ,for some mo cartridges a few years ago, but I just couldn't do it now for a scsi hd ( using FWB or apple tool) thanks a lot phil |

Well, depending on the size, you could burn it to a CD even. That should work. That's how I get most of my OMF's from Macbased Avid's to my system. (PC and Fairlight).

Re: Avid pc to PT mac
Thank's Henchman,
I taught about this possibility, it's fine to. But in this case i'm not sure it will be flexible enough.... Going 10 times a day from the edit rooms to the mix room. It's for a tv (news) training center and they're allways hurry. Any other experiences ? |

Re: Avid pc to PT mac
i know our avids here are set up such that other folks in the studio can ftp to them. if you've got any kind of a local network, you may be able to set up an ftp connection between the computers. sorry that i don't know more details on how to, but just a brain storm for you...
good luck! -adam- |

Re: Avid pc to PT mac
we have pc based Avids and Mac PT, and we actually do the FTP thing here too as a temporary fix. you can easily setup a file sharing drive and access it from either platform via Ethernet network.

Re: Avid pc to PT mac
I sometimes receive a jazz cartridge (MAC HFS formatted) from the PC Media-composer.
The guy makes me an OMF document with separated audio from the OMF document. To be able to open it from the Mac side, you need Digi Translator version 2.0. On the PC side they have Mac Opener that allows the PC NT to mount and read Mac formatted disks(HD, removable and CD-R) If you send back audio on the NT platform, it has to be AIFF ow .Wave filetypes. Hopt it helps! [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] |

Re: Avid pc to PT mac
thank you for answering,
seems to be many ways to do the trick. I will avoid the network solutions, because i'm not sure there will be any serious network management in that place. Could soon be a mess... Mac opener seems to be a cool solution. I also heard about Mac drive (same kind of software). I'm not sure, but if your only transfering from pc to mac, maybe you don't need anything at all. (exept digitranslator) A cartridge formated on a pc is readable on a mac or am I wrong ? Is the same thing for a hd ? thanks phil |
