Solitaire to S6000 Transfer
Posted: Tue Jul 19, 2011 2:45 am
I have seen on this forum, discussion on the transfer of material, by fire-wire, from one unit to another, with some having problems.
I have always been able to transfer both ways between my Avio and Solitaire, without problem. Since I now also have an S6000, but still awaiting delivery of my new HD cam, I have being doing some testing and familiarisation.
I have had no problem transferring material from the story board of my Solitaire to the S6000, both video and audio came over fine and perfectly in sync. Obviously I had to do this to an SD formatted project on the S6000.
I then clip boarded the material into an HD project, again with no problem. The HD program was formatted to HD 1440 x 1080i.
The transfer process was.
Set up the S6000 to record Mode DV Format SD720 x 576i 4 x 3 or 16 x 9, with the interlace “on” and go to the record screen.
From the project required for transfer in the Solitaire, go to “Finish” – “Record to VCR” DV, choose the range for transfer and then click the play button. Once the video signal is available on the S6000, click the record button.
I just made sure I had sufficient blank scene at either end of the material, so that I could start and stop the import on the S6000, before it stopped on the Solitaire.
Even the auto split worked on the S6000, it split the imported scene at every cut on the imported story board.
Hope this helps.
