Re: [Avid-L2] Atmos Shogun

Honestly, I'd have given up on RS-422 control and just crash record it. Why not? Are you thinking you need to control it somehow? You can still use Digital Cut to crash record. And when it's done recording, pull the file in and use something like QTChange to alter the time code, if you even need time code.

Thanks Bouke and John. Unfortunately, there's nothing in the Atmos
Shogun manual about configuring the RS422 port. All they say is that
it's there. I suppose anything is possible, including the need to sway
xmit and receive pins in the cable. I'll try to mess with it some more
next week. --J.B.
