The UVW1400a lacks RS-422 serial control but you can still use RS-232
serial control with Final Cut Pro to obtain full deck control. Please refer to the
troubleshooting note “I can’t get machine control of my tape deck” for more
information.
Q: I am trying to play back a DV clip in Final Cut Pro on my PowerMac
G4 but the video is jerky. What can I do to x this problem.
A: Go to the top-left corner of your timeline and you will nd an RT popup menu.
Pop it open and ensure that it is set to “Safe RT.” Then check the Playback
Video Quality and reduce it to Medium or Low. Make sure that “Record to Tape”
remains on “Full Quality.” This will enable you to monitor smooth video (at a
lower quality) on your TV monitor while recording to tape at full quality.
