Using Symphony Nitris. Using an HD-SR deck as record, with adjusted deck setting to SRW-5500 24p.

Each and every time, at the in-point of every edit, the audio dissapears for a half second or so,and there is either a white or grey flash, or sometimes what looks like a reference hit.

Edit outpoints are fine for both A and V. When using a regular HDCAM deck set to 23.976, these edit-in "flashes"/"dropouts" do NOT occur.

Reboots of system and machine decks do not help when using the HDSR deck. When editing in regular  HD/1080i onto the same HDSR deck,no problems occur of this nature...only when using the deck as a 24p deck.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks.

What version of Symphony are you running? I think there was a bug in 1.7.

we're running 1.09...still using an older version as we havent upgraded our isis yet,Bob.

This is maddening! WE thought it might be our HDSR deck setting,but we're able to run HD out of that no problem. Just not 24pHD.

Just the obvious questions.  Are you running 23.98 Psf Tri-Level sync to both deck and Avid?  Is the deck set to external "HD" reference?  Put up a frame of video or let the time line run and do a Auto edit on the deck it'self using insert edit and see if that is clean.  If it is there is something in the Avid control of the deck.  I can confirm this all works fine in 3.0 ville and it did before that.  Don't be fulled into thinking you want true Progressive Trilevel, both the deck and the Avid want Psf.  You can get fooled by the Sony when sending it Progressive Trilevl because the no sync stop light flash won't happen but the deck doesn't support progressive trilevel.  This imporper sync setting might not cause a problem because the deck goes into input video reference when insert and assemble editing which can mask the problem but E/E signals will look funky.
