Setting deck configuration to SRW-5500 still gives me control of the
DigiBeta. But now if I go to perform the Digital Cut, it gives me the error
upon preroll. Doesn't even try to roll in and record.
Tried my other two DVW decks too - same error.
This is just fail city.
I greatly appreciate the ideas though - thanks again.
