Hello all,

I do most of my shows in Boston on NMT HD6 & the Sony 8000. They recently upgraded the software to 7.11 and I've been having some odd problems when I load my shows either from the hard drive or from an external USB device.

When I load the show I can usually find at least one effect (and not the same one each load) using the EVS, that loads without the "Cueup" command in the Rewind Action. Instead the Rewind Action is "OFF". The odd thing is that I cannot successfully modify and save the effect in question to restore the necessary "Cueup" command. When I try to add the "Cueup" and save the effect, when I recall it, the Rewind Action is still "OFF".

In order to solve this I have to delete the effect, Recall the empty effect, and rebuild the DEV portion. I've tried deleting the show directory and resaving a "working" show and saving a working show in a new directory to no avail. Sometimes its only one effect that is corrupted, sometimes 2 or 3.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Jesse

[quote="AJR"]I don't have much experience with VDCP but out of curiosity, does anyone know if you can recall a clip through a disk file load command in a macro but play and recue it through a DEV timeline? Perhaps this could be one way around your problem.[/quote] In theory, yes. If the clip is already loaded, by name, from the Macro and you have a PLAY command a timeline's keyframe it should play "anything" that is loaded. RE

I have heard of similar problems with machine control and this version. I run it only with cueup and play, not in timeline, so I have not had the problem. Device is setup as 'vtr' not an EVS

[quote="Unger"]Some of my files and effects were missing. They just disappeared. Not that it would help the problem you have now, but this might be a good time for HD6 to get a lance in that truck. Just less to (lose) worry about than machine control in my opinion. Trigger mode in the PBUS is great![/quote] There is a lance onboard HD6, I've just never used it with the Sony. I liked being able to load everything including cues off of my USB stick. If this problem keeps happening, though, I might have to bite the bullet and rebuild my shows with the lance. Ugh. Maybe once Red Sox season starts.

I had some issues as well with the 7.11 upgrade but not in the DEV area. Some of my files and effects were missing. They just disappeared. Not that it would help the problem you have now, but this might be a good time for HD6 to get a lance in that truck. Just less to (lose) worry about than machine control in my opinion. Trigger mode in the PBUS is great!
