| Q: |
Can
the DAC-2 output Component Y.U.V. and S (Y/C) at
the same time? |
| A: |
The
DAC-2 can't provide Component Y.U.V. and S (Y/C)
output at the same time. To select the Component
Y.U.V signal output, disconnect the "S"
cable from the S (Y/C) output jack on the rear panel.
Plugging in the S (Y/C) cable into the S (Y/C) output
jack, will disable the Component Y.U.V. Signal output. |

| Q: |
I
am using Avid Xpress DV 3.0 with my DAC-2 and I
am getting Pixel blocks on the left hand side of
the video output. How can I correct this? |
| A: |
Please
go to the Deck Configuration menu in Xpress 3.0,
select "FireWire on OHCI" connected to
"Generic basic device-NTSC". Do not select
DataVideo DAC-2, the template in DV Xpress 3.0 does
not function correctly with the DAC-2. |
| Q: |
My
Avid Xpress DV 3.0 is not detecting the DAC-2. I
am also getting the following error message "no
input signal." |
| A: |
This
can be caused by installing Windows Service Pack
3 on your Windows 2000 machine. It is recommended
that you uninstall Service Pack 3 on your computer.
Please refer to the Avid forum regarding this issue:

| Q: |
The
DAC-2 is not sending video output from Avid Xpress
DV 3/3.5. |
| A: |
Please
turn off the "Real Time Effects Mode"
in the Avid software. Real Time effects mode disables
output via FireWire (IEEE/1394).
(The timeline window has a circular button that
turns the Real Time mode on or off, Green is On,
Blue is Off). |
