Hi Pat,
Thanks for the update.
Just in case the devs miss this I've fwd'd it to someone senior.
Cheers,
Tone :)

Well had a worrying discovery this morning whilst testing the lasted
beta version of the Miranda HD bridge software.
Noticed that when I click play on the DS the servo light comes
straight on and the capture tool timecode starts counting from the
timecode it last had in stop.
The thing is the HDV transport takes approx 2 seconds to startup and
the timecode showing on the Miranda box doesn't start till a few
seconds after play is pressed. The result is that the DS timecode is
now some 2 seconds ahead of the actual offtape timecode. When stop
is pressed on the DS the timecode on the DS snaps back the few seconds.
So it's possible the Miranda is falsely signalling that the servo is
locked and tricking the DS to thinking the timecode should be progressing.
But it's frightening to image that the DS doesn't even both to check
that the timecode coming down the RS422 isn't in sync with what it's counting.
>From the good results we're getting from the Avid Media composer
tests it looks worryingly like the DS deck control has some serious
flaws in it.
I'm expecting at any point soon Miranda with just give up on
operation with the DS as a bad job seeing as it works so well on other systems.
Can anyone at DS contact Miranda and help resolve this as we're
guessing in the dark here. It will be a real blow to DS if the
ability of these types of interfaces is denied to Ds users.
At VET we're already having to bite the bullet and go with using our
HD Adrenaline as a HDV solution despite having to use Avid DNxHD
compression because it works today!
