[Avid-L2] Re: Preserving Closed Captions from a Sony HDW-D1800 HDCam

A little chat with Sony clarified what might be your problem. According to Sony the deck will always output the anc. data but will only record it if a menu is enabled. For an SR-5500 it's in the maintenance menu section and the 1800 as well. For a 5500 take a breath and go;
Shift Diagnostic, Shift Maintenance, Others, Alt, MetaData, F3 HDCam,then F1 is line 9 and F2 is line 572. There is a choice DID, SDID. That should enable the recording of anc data. I'm not sure what the DID or SDID choice should be, but they are types of metadata. I'll have to do some more research on that. Perhaps one of our more savey CC experts can chime in. The path is similar on the 1800 consult your manual. Unfortunately I don't have a machine in front of me to play along. HTH

I believe it's around line 8 but sense you can't see it like SD closed captioning you need a decoder to tell if it's there and being maintained.

I get my Closed Caption master tape back from the caption house and want to make copies of it for distribution. I should be able to capture it into the Avid via HD-SDI with the Ancillary Data Option turned on in the Media Creation Settings and then dump it back to another tape with the captions preserved. Apparently I'm doing something wrong as the copy has no captions. Thoughts? Thanks in advance for any insight into what I'm missing.
