We've got a couple of Edius pro stations using ADVC-500 breakout boxes in a news environment. The ADVC-500 is connected to an older DVCPRO deck via component video and XLR audio cables. The 500 is in turn connected to the workstation via Firewire.
We can capture into Edius in AVI format without problems. When we attempt to print to tape, however, we get an 'unable to phase lock' error and the export stops. When the export confirmation screen comes up, it lists Firewire as the device control. This isn't going to work, since our decks are controlled via RS 422. There appears to be no way to switch it in any of the Edius settings.
Also, we have tried to simply do a playout from the timeline and start the recording on the deck manually, but no video is passed from the workstation to the deck in this case. The ADVC-500 does, however, switch from Analog->DV mode to DV->Analog mode.
Help?
