KNOWN ISSUES
-We've discovered in Bogart 4, using HDV (HD clips loaded in via firewire) could have random
stopping or stuttered responses on recordings or playback. Please try loading in shorter clips for
now. This is a priority issue and being currently worked on by our programmers. If HDV is
essential for your work, you may wish to stay on Bogart 3 until this patch is in place.
-Most analog recording corrections for the S3000 and S6000 have now been completed. There is
one small analog recording item to be aware of. Audio recordings made from analog inputs
could have minor distortion or crackles to them, especially if the audio levels are too low. Try to
raise the volume level of the source footage if you can detect this. Overall, we recommend using
an AV/DV convertor to go in DV or us a USB Microphone (see dealer for approved models) if you
plan to do a lot of analog recordings with these models. Also, we are working with development
to find a USB to analog recording as another future solution.
-Sometimes you may see a very brief distortion or tearing line or stutter in video playback in very
random spots. This should only be a display issue. This may be more common on playbacks
using the 1920x1080i display mode.
-When recording in via DV on these systems, the video seen in the Recording menu will be a just
preview of the information. So it will not be the same as what you will see in the scene bin. It
might appear to be a lower quality and have a stutter while monitoring. The recorded clip to the
scene bin should be fine. We're looking to see if this DV Recording preview can be improved any
in the future.
-Progressive mode use will not allow for Twixtor renders. They will crash.
-During HDV Recordings with firewire, the preview display will take a couple of seconds to buffer
in order to start displaying. Once the recording starts, be aware that just during this preview
process, it will not have audio with it.
-There have been some reports of using the Titling menu's "Range" button along with several
titles in the storyboard might cause a crash. This has been very random. We're still looking into
it.
-When using the standard titler in HD, on a single HDMI or DVI monitor, the title preview menu is
in a 4:3 display on the 16:9 monitor. It goes back to the normal correct size in a Full Size
preview.
-Quadcam 1.3 could have random stutters in the preview screen on HD projects, especially if all
4 camera menus are used and the footage is longer than 40 minutes.
-There is a known problem with direct firewire transfers communicating with other Casablanca
models and PC's. Also, using firewire to go out to DV tape and then use the DV tape to go to a
PC could have a problem. We've seen certain PC software programs have trouble detecting audio
from the tape for some reason. For now, you may wish to use the export options in Media
Manager, the Back Up Storyboard features, or Disk Transfer to move clips between the "S" model
and other Casablancas or PC's.
-There are only a few remaining add on software programs left that are still being modified and
are not yet available for use on the S2000/S4000/S4000 Pro/S4100/S3000 and S6000. Be sure
not to activate any unmodified Add On programs for these systems. For current updates to the
Add On program status and other information, please visit our website www.macrosystem.us and
find the recently updated "Software Version Guide".
-There may be some other more minor issues that have been reported or being worked on that
are not listed here.
