178 Part III Setting Up Your Editing System
 Tape Trouble: This indicates that your tape may be jamming. It’s important to
immediately stop playback and remove your tape from the deck, if possible. If you
can’t eject your tape, take your camcorder or deck to a qualified technician. For more
information, see the documentation that came with your video equipment.
 No Communication: This appears if you turned off device control or selected Non-
Controllable Device in the device control preset for your camera or deck.
Switching Device Control Presets When Changing Decks
If you have multiple video decks that you regularly capture from or output to, and each
one is a different format, you can use device control presets to easily change your
device control settings each time you use a different deck. For example, the timecode
offset may be different from one deck to another, or one deck may require more pre-
roll time before its motor stabilizes to provide a stable video signal for capture.
You can create a different device control preset for every deck you use. When you
switch decks, you can simply change the device control preset to set up quickly. For
more information, see Volume IV, Chapter 25, “Device Control Settings and Presets.”
