DVL-Digest 851 - Postings: Index FCP expansion plan JVC -DV500 as VTR - enabling DV-input Skin tone detail on DSR-300 stuck eject button on Sony VX1000 FCP expansion plan - "Perry" I was interested in the discussion on the Avid DV Express. I'm advising somebody on purchasing an expandable NLE system, the only given is that it must be FCP so we are talking about the Mac. He wants to eventually be able to interface with broadcast decks via RS-422 and SDI, and obviously will then need HD resources to suit, but immediate limited resources will be met with a DV capability. Real-time is not a particular requirement. 1)What options are there for a card to give immediate component analog interfacing with an SDI video capability later? 2)Does FCP2 have built in RS422 control? (obviously a serial port adapter would be needed) 3)What digital audio options are available for the Mac? (S/PDIF and AES/EBU) 4)What options are realistically available for portable media storage? (particularly to Avid) thanks for any experience here Perry Mitchell Video Consultant http://www.perrybits.co.uk JVC -DV500 as VTR - enabling DV-input - "Perry" Zach: As I understand it, it is technically possible to enable the input (but I don't know the procedure). You should understand that the EU customs authorities have made it known that inputs that are easy to re-enable will not be deemed disabled in the first place, and manufacturers will be liable for back taxes! You will need to find a friendly JVC serviceman and do this off the record! (excuse pun!)

Perry Mitchell Video Consultant http://www.perrybits.co.uk stuck eject button on Sony VX1000 - Adam Wilt Hello list, Can anyone give me advice on the eject button of my VX1000? > It has got stuck at a slight angle (the top is angled slightly back) and > won't budge. I don't want to force it as it looks like fragile plastic. Mine got whacked somehow on location last year; the inner release button was pushed in and the top of the slider was pulled out, making it almost impossible to operate. I detached the side of the camera (two screws on bottom, two on top -- one beneath the finder -- and possibly two inside the rear door, I don't recall. Look for the little arrows molded into the casework), carefully separated it watching out for the ribbon connector between the side and the main body, and was able to explore the mechanism with fingers and screwdriver. With a bit of jiggling I was able to realign the parts and snap them together in their correct configuration, good as new. It took me about 15 minutes, start to finish. Caution: fragile ribbon connectors (printed wiring assemblies) and static-sensitive electronic components within. Do not perform this surgery unless you feel confident doing so. I do not warrant that this procedure will fix your problem, and you do it at your own risk.
