You might experience excessive noise when connecting your
computer headphone output to outboard audio equipment, such as a
studio mixer or powered loudspeakers. This is due to the signal
grounding arrangement in both the external audio hardware and in
the computer, and is especially apparent on some laptop models.
Workaround: Use a ground-loop isolator, available at RadioShack
(part # 270-054), between the computer headphone output and the
outboard audio equipment.
Digital Cut
➤
Most Sony brand DVCAM devices will break the solid timecode on
the tape after the tape is used for Digital Cut.
Workaround: Add black to the beginning and end of the sequence
before recapturing.
➤
When using the Sony DAC-2 (NTSC) transcoder for a digital cut, the
chroma does not lock.
➤
When working in PAL, the Laird FFP transcoder outputs very poor
quality analog video.
➤
Duplicate frames might appear during a digital cut. When
performing a digital cut on certain non-Sony cameras, you might
experience double frames of audio and video. This is caused by the
deck not handling asynchronous and isochronous commands over the
1394 FireWire at the same time.
Workaround: In the Deck Preferences Settings dialog box, deselect
“Poll deck during digital cut.” However, with this disabled, the
timecode display and the Play button in the deck control portion of the
Digital Cut tool will not update while performing the digital cut.
