Yup, problem solved. The cable and adapter I borrowed work as expected. It looks like the set below. It must be the RS422 cable end but I haven't tested that by swapping in my own adapter and 232 cable from the PC end. If that also works then I just need to pickup a male-male 422 cable. Hoping this thread might help others (or even myself in the

Thanks for your replies gentlemen. I'm hoping to have the problem solved as I just borrowed a known working cable. It uses the same dataMate adapter as mine but has a short serial cable between the PC and adapter and a long cable between the adapter and deck. These two cables are "custom" as the 422 side is male-male to plug in to the

I should add that I found a thread with the following 232-422 cable wiring but I assume that this is how the Avid wants a single serial cable to be wired without the dataMate (Rosetta Stone type) adapter in order to have deck control. David

I realize there are probably hundreds of threads on issues with deck control but I thought a new thread might be needed given software changes over the years. I'm working on a MC Symphony option (PC) v8.4.2 running on an HP xw8600 and an Avid Nitris DX. This system has worked flawlessly over the years and I've captured and mastered from it numerious

Any reason why linking to KiPro DNX 1080i59.94 recorded QuickTime files wouldn't work in 8.8.5? TIA, David

Fellas, thanks for all the replies. It's good to hear that I'm not the only one who found the NDX alarmingly loud. Of course, when it's in a server room, one probably doesn't know or care but when it's in the suite... Sharney, info on your final replacement units would be helpful. The Noctua's are really nice fans so it's

After having our Nitris DX in operation for almost 10 years, I thought it would be high time to open it up again and not only give it a good dusting but also to replace the rather old and noisy 80 mm Delta main system fans. I decided to pick up a pair of Austrian designed Noctua fans which are very nicely made and extremely quiet. However, these fans

Bruno, so we took some decisions. Based on Eizo's information and their good reviews as well as your wise advise, we decided to go with the setup you suggested. We're going with the 24" Eizo for colour and an E-series 4K Vizio for client monitoring. As for signals, we decided to stick with the 6G BMD Decklink 4K Extreme as 2160p60 is not

[quote user="Bruno M"] [quote user="doxilia"]I also understand that Avid has put a "hardware DNXHR" encoder into their box but I'm wondering if this is of any benefit to our workflow. Does the encoder assist on playack for multiple streams of DNXHR or is it essentially useful for the capture of 4K media via SDI/HDMI
