I'm going to try and explain this as best as possible:
I'm working with the XDCAM Ex 1080p24 (35MB/S) codec in a 23.98 timeline, 1920x 1080 in FCP. I have the computer hooked up to an Sony HDW-D1800 through an AJA Kohna card.
I'm trying to output my timeline to an HDCAM tape. When I playback my timeline with no tape in the deck, it works perfectly. Playback is fine, and it plays back perfectly in the reference monitor as well. Once I pop a tape in and try and do a record, I loose all playback through the deck. It's playing in FCP, but failing to record to the deck. When I play back the tape, it has a few random frames from the timeline on it, but obviously not the actual sequence.
I can import clips perfectly.
In the AJA kohan control panel SDI in is 1080sf23.98, buffer is 1080sf23.98 and SDI out is 1080sf23.98.
The system frequency on the deck is set to 23.98sf, Pull Down (SD)
And in FCP my device control preset is AJA Kona LH: 23.98 Sony VTR
and playback is AJA Kona 1080psf23.98 8 Bit 1920 x 1080
I tried to post all the information I have. What am I doing wrong?
