[Avid-L2] Re: "Cannot Lock to Automatic, Please check digital audio source or change inputs"

Yes, I forgot to mention that both Video and Audio is coming in
HD SDI.
So the "Cannot Lock to Automatic, Please check digital audio source or change inputs" is a somewhat normal-ish thing? I can continue digitizing "manually"(as i described below) and everything should be fine? Audio should not drift within 30 min captures?

***

And then in response to Dom Silverio -
Just so I understand, we are converting 720p TO 1080i, so then in this case I would check menu setting 632? I was slightly confused by your response...

Thanks everyone!
