FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS: Liquid Edition with AV Converter and RS 422 devices
The instructions below describe how to use RS 422 controlled devices and AV converters with Liquid Edition. Please use only LE v5.51 or higher for batch digitizing with AV converters. Connections: RS-232C-RS-422 (Pinnacle supplied cable): Connect PCs COM2 to RS422 of VCR IEEE1394 cable: PCs IEEE1394 port to converters IEEE1394 port VCR, converter and black burst (if applicable): see example below. Settings in Liquid Edition: Go to Start / Control Panel / Site / Player Settings / Settings tab, right mouse click and add Sony Betacam driver. Adjust settings as described in Read Me file paragraph E/4: Liquid Edition RS 422 remote control: IEEE input and output selection In order to use RS 422 remote controlled devices with Liquid Edition, a special setting in the functional description of the device driver is necessary. Go to Liquid Edition Start / Control Panel / Site / Player Settings / Settings tab, select or create the player/recorder you want to control, open its options and select Functional Description. Under Video Inputs as well as Video Outputs double-click the entry IEEE and change the value to Yes. Do the same for audio. For digitizing with a converter or video device that does not offer a time code input/output, you have to adjust the following settings: Go to Liquid Edition Start / Control Panel / User / Logging / Batch Digitize / General and check / activate: Ignore time code embedded in source stream. Go to Liquid Edition Start / Control Panel / User / Logging / Batch Digitize / Timecode Break Behavior (RS-422): switch on Continue digitize and set TC Break Marker For batch digitizing with a converter which does not offer a time code input/output, you have to adjust the following settings: In Project Manager select some clips and perform batch digitize. In Logging Tool open the properties and go to General tab, where you have to select Ignore time code embedded in source stream once again. In Logging Tool open the properties and go to Timecode Break Behavior (RS-422) tab: switch on Continue digitize and set TC Break Marker Please note: Although you may have already activated Ignore time code embedded in source stream and Continue digitize and set TC Break Marker in the Control Panel, you have to select these options for batch digitizing once again. VTR Settings if no external reference / burst is available: When using a RS-422 controlled device it is required to switch OFF the Reference Alarm in the VCR menu. If activated, a Player Error 9: Reference is missing or bad" is appearing whenever at capturing with mark in/out set. Go to Liquid Edition Start / Control Panel / User / Logging / Batch Digitize / Timecode Break Behavior (RS-422): switch on Continue digitize and set TC Break Marker
