Avid Unity
➤ (Macintosh) Avid editing clients cannot capture 8-bit 1:1 HD media to a mirrored Avid
Unity MediaNetwork workspace; 10-bit HD media works fine.
Workaround: To capture 8-bit 1:1 HD media to an Avid Unity MediaNetwork workspace,
you must unmirror the workspace then capture the 8-bit HD media. You can then mirror that
workspace after the 8-bit 1:1 HD media is captured. Synchronize the workspace with the
Administration tool after the mirroring is re-applied.
➤ Avid Unity MediaNetwork and Power User login: If you log into your Windows system as a
Power User and use the same login in the Connection Manager to log onto Avid Unity
MediaNetwork, you won’t be able to play media.
Workaround: In order to use an Avid editing application in Interplay you must log in as a
Power User. However, do not use the same login when you use the Connection Manager to
log onto Avid Unity MediaNetwork. Use a different login for the Connection Manager. This
problem does not exist on Avid Unity ISIS.
➤ Workspace names in Asian characters might appear truncated at the end in any
drive-selection list.
Workaround: Use no more than 5 characters for workspace names.
➤ Changing Users on MediaNetwork Fibre attached clients: When you change users on a fibre
attached client, do not use the Switch User function in the Windows Log Off dialog box.
When you log back in as the original user you may get the following errors when you play
media: “Exception: FILE_OTHER, filename… Exception: SYS_ERROR, status:1317,
msg:The specified user does not exist.”
Workaround: To fix the problem once it occurs, reboot the system. To avoid the problem,
before you switch users, log off completely and reboot the system.
Capture
➤ When performing captures over FireWire with the SonyZ7U or Canon XH-G1 camera, you
might receive "Lack of progress" errors.
➤ If you have problems with batch capture accuracy for footage captured over 1394 due to
undetected small timecode breaks, select the “Enable detection of small timecode break”
option located in the Capture Settings DV& HDV tab.
