Topic of the week
Message #3714
Sorry for not getting back to you sooner Harry. I've been out of town on business for two weeks. You're correct. The SLV-R5UC is not RCTC. It is, however, LAN-C controlled which means you don't need the FAST Studio Control box to run it. I believe a number of others…
I have no experience with the EVS-3000 so I can't comment about it. I use a single SLV-R5UC as my record deck and the VX3 as my source deck. The full VM that I have has absolutely no problem controlling this combination and performs both video and/or audio inserts without…
I'm a part time videographer (more an experienced hobbiest than anything else) so, for whats worth, I have a Sony CCD-VX3 for which I can only give praise. The quality is more than adequate for the weddings and private requests that I typically do. If I had to state 1…

Thanks to all that have offered suggestions. Although I haven't got the interface working yet, I've pretty much narrowed it down to a bad baud rate clock on my RS-422 board. I measured it with a little timing routine I wrote and found my baud rate to be out of…
Thanks Robert. Every little bit of info helps. In my case I have a true RS-422 card in the PC. I'm trying to write (actually, its 90% written) a simple cuts only editor to control the decks. It's a contract programme for a very small local editing shop that has…
#UVW-1800 and RS422
Message #1477
I've just obtained a Sony UVW-1800 and a UVW-1600. I'm trying to interface these to a PC using the RS-422 interface and I'm having problems. The doc for the 9 pin connector on the UVW's contains lines called "Receive Common" and "Transmit Common". The standard 25 pin RS-422 interface (EIA…
