FAST VMPC Technote

New Panasonic Digital time code and Video Machine

05.11.98

Description/ Symptoms:

The time code used on the new Panasonic digital decks, such as the AG EZ-, NV DV- and NV DX- range is a digital time code. These

devices have a problem translating this digital time code into analogue time code. For this reason these decks are not currently

supported for use with Video Machine.

The (professional) AJD range of devices should work as long as RS422 control is used.

There are currently over 200 drivers available in the latest software (version 3.98a at time of going to print) for decks which are supported

with Video Machine. To see a full list please go to Tools > Device Setup and click the Install button (Please note that this will not give

you an up to date list of supported drivers unless you have the most recent software installed).
