Flyer Inputs
The rules keep changing. I have digitized video from a Beta SP source
using the Toaster's Input 1 and the audio RCA jacks you referred to. I
was told by another dealer that the first RCA jack (the one next to the
SVHS connector) was for time code input. On a recent post here, I was told
the serial connectors, ported with the SCSI cables, are for the timecode.
I guess I'll call Newtek tomorrow.
I've used framestores for the first frame, and placed dissolves, and other
effects/wipes, between two clips. The only time there was a problem is
when one of the croutons was a framestore which was stored on a flyer
video drive. I've used other framestores with not problems and will try
the old one once my flyer is running again. I hope it's not the power
supply. BTW – I believe the flyer drive treats the framestore as a
continuous video stream if its on the flyer video drive, where is loads
the framestore into a frame buffer otherwise. This might cause the A/B
conflict which stutters the video.
I used the setup screen to create framestores for background colors and
can now start any clip sequence with a black background, dissolving to the
first crouton.
