Battery for Sony DSR-11?

I have a Sony DSR-11 DVCAM deck and woul dlike to use it on battery power. Is anyone doing so and what battery are you using? I would prefer a storage batter to a "rechargeable" one.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the suggestion, David.
I bot this deck a few months ago and first asked the video rental agency where I do a lot of business, figuring they'd use batteries with everything. In this case, they didn't.
I have send Sony an inquiry and was hoping to find some recommendations for a particular battery here.
Regards, Bill

  • Sony DSR-45A? Possible for NTSC Monitor Playback from Quicktime?

    Title says it all.
    We have a new Mac Pro with two 22" monitors using both of the graphic car DVI ports.
    However with have this beatiful 60 inch monitor next to us that we would like to hook it up to.
    The monitor has BNC Component connections, VGA connections, A/V Connections, and more.
    We have a Sony DSR-45A deck hook up to our computer via firewire.
    We hooked up the deck using the component BNC cables.
    I know in Final Cut Pro we can run footage back and forth from the deck to the computer and back into the monitor for playback.
    What I would like to know is if Quicktime could also read the DSR-45A and play stuff on the NTSC monitor or if there is any other program that can playback footage on the monitor through the DSR45A.
    Or am I out of luck and should just suck it up and get 2nd graphics card.
    Please note I just spent $20,000 If i can save $600 by getting around not buying a graphics card I would love to.

  • Sony DSR-25 not found with FCP 5.1.2

    Hi @ all,
    I updated to FCP 5.1.2 to fix a dublicate bug with a Sony XDCam HD in 5.1.1 (http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=3269745#3269745)
    This Problem was solved, but now i can't connect my Sony DSR-25 with Firewire to Mac. I have only one Firewire Onboard Slot and in 5.1.1 the DSR-25 worked fine. FCP doesn't finde the Deck
    So did anyone have an intention or an idea what the problem could be with 5.1.2 ? Or did anyone has used a DSR-25 with FCP 5.1.2 already?
    TOM

    This is a good workaround for curing your camera recognition problem with FCP (if that's what it is):
    First, check that your Easy Setup / Timeline / Camera or Deck Settings are all exactly the same, then making sure your camera or deck is in VTR mode, try to capture again.
    FCP uses a different form of QT than iMovie for capturing, so if the camera works in iMovie (or if it's listed in System Profiler) but not FCP, it obviously means your Mac can see the VTR but FCP can't, so you need to do this QuickTime fix.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301852
    Follow the instructions carefully and you should have things running in no time - it's quite safe but you must Trash the Receipts AND re-install QT from the link provided.
    If the Camera / Deck isn't recognised by iMovie or System Profiler, try resetting the Firewire Bus . . . Turn off the Mac and disconnect the power and all Firewire cables. Leave it for 30 mins then connect back up.
    Still not working? Try a different Firewire cable.
    Failing all this, try resetting the PMU (Power Management Unit). The method varies from machine to machine, so visit the Apple site and search for it in support.
    Don't use iMovie for capturing - it doesn't give you a timecode and that's very important.
    Let us know how you get on!

  • I am unable to capture 16:9 footage shot on Sony DSR PD170 correctly.

    It appears "stepped or skipped".  The audio is in sync, but the picture looks as though a few frames are skipped.  Sort of like the old "Max Headroom" tv show.  I am using firewire cable directly from the camera to the computer.  Recorded on miniDV tape - new.
    My Capture Settings are:
    Device control: Firewire NTSC
    Capture Input: DV NTSC 48 kHz  Anamorphic
    Audio/Video Settings are: 
    Device Control Preset:  Firewire NTSC
    Video Playback:  Apple Firewire NTSC (720x480)
    Audio Playback: Firewire DV
    I have FCP 7.0.3
    OS X 10.5.8
    Camera is Sony DSR PD170
    I logged the footage without a picture or audio in FCP, used my camera's monitor.  FCP was reading the TC in the Log and Capture window, and I was able to input In and Out points to log. 
    Any help will be greatly appreciated. 

    Russ,
    Many, many thanks for sticking with me.  I've finally got the footage to work.  Checked it by shooting new 16:9 footage and inputting it as well.   Have gone back to the original and discarded the iMovie stuff.
    Believe my problem was in my settings when I changed these, everything worked:  Under System Settings.> Playback Controls  I changed RT to unlimited, Video Quality and Frame Rate to Dynamic, and Record to Full Quality, Frame offset is 4.  (I don't know what the frame offset is.)
    Under User Preferences> Render Control   Render and Resolution are now 100%, Codec is same as sequence codec, Quality is Best, and I've checked always use best quality when rendering
    Sorry, I don't know what the settings were before I began, just know that I changed some of them to these.  Thanks again.

  • IDVD & Sony DSR-11

    Quick question for all of the super guru's out there, I am using a Sony DSR-11 deck and iMovie HD works fine with it and Final Cut Express HD works fine with it but iDVD doesn't recognize it. My question to anyone who might know is why? and is there anything I can do to correct / fix it?
    Thanks much for any and all assistance.
    Dave

    Are you using it in some AV/DV conversion mode?
    Note: OneStep DVD will only capture from recorded tape on a DV camcorder or deck. OneStep DVD will not work with analog-to-DV converters. It will also not work if you are using your camcorder or deck as a pass-through device to digitize from an analog souce (such as VHS or Hi-8). In order to function, OneStep DVD reads the timecode from your DV tape and it relies on DV device control to communicate with the camera or deck.

  • Premiere Pro CS5 Compatibility with Sony DSR-25 Deck

    I have recently upgraded my computer to support cs5.  I have a PNY Nvidia Quadro 2000 graphics card, 8 gb ram, an Intel Xeon 5150 processor and Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.  My issue comes with running this system connected via firewire to a Sony DSR-25 deck.  When connected, while working on a project, at any point I click on the file menu, it takes several seconds (sometimes half a minute) to load the drop-down menu.  This is frustrating, but not entirely detrimental.  The main problem is that when I try to capture video (I use the keyboard shortcut F5 to bypass my previous issue) the capture video will usually crash the program, or it will take forever and when I try to capture, it will miss almost the entire first minute of video trying to catch up.  It starts rolling the tape, but just doesn't physically begin capturing at that time.  I spoke to someone at Adobe and we narrowed the problem down to an issue with the deck, and I am trying to figure out if this deck is absolutely not compatible with this system or if there is some sort of work-around.

    Try this:
    In  Windows: Click on  Start -> Control Panel -> System -> Device  Manager (up on top  left), or just click the Start button and search for  "device manager."
    Swivel   down the entry for "IEEE 1394 Bus host controllers, and right-click on   the item that is revealed (will depend on your computer/card   manufacturer). Select "Update Driver Software."
    Click the "Browse my computer for driver software," and then the "Let me pick from a list" button.
    In the list of drivers, select the one that has "(Legacy)" at the end; click Next, and then Close all the dialogs.
    Try capturing again.

  • Sony DSR 30 Deck not recognised

    Hello,
    I'm running FCP 3 & 5 and I use a Sony DSR 30 deck. The deck works fine on FCP 3, but having just got a new mac running Tiger and FCP 5, it no longer works.
    I have checked on the Fire Bus and it is not listed. My other Firewire devices work and are listed when connected,just not the DSR 30 deck.
    I have also trashed my QT receipts and re-installed QT manually, but this has not improved matters.
    If my deck is nor showing up on the Fire Wire bus is it fair to conclude it is not supported?
    If so is there a fix?
    cheers,
    Dame

    Try a firewire bus reset:
    - unplug ALL firewire cables from all ports on the computer
    - unplug the power cord from the computer
    - let the computer sit for 15-30 minutes (probably takes less time but you want to make sure all power drains from relvent capacitors on the motherboard)
    The key point is if there are any connections to the firewire ports on the mac, the machine will not reset the firewire bus.
    Also, the sequence of reconnection is important:
    - connect the deck to the computer directly (no daisy chaining)
    - power up the deck
    - plug in the computer
    - power up the computer
    - check for the presence of the deck using system profiler.
    After this if the deck doesn't show up in system profiler, time to take it in for service.
    If the deck does show up but doesn't work with FCP, the quicktime-trash receipts and reinstall is the usual solution. It has been noted to take more than one attempt to get it to 'take'.
    good luck.

  • SONY DSR-11 No longer supported in 5.1

    I was just about to order this deck and after checking I find it is no longer on the supported list of qualified devices. I have been using an unsupported deck and getting terrible dropouts. That's why I was ready to move to the DSR-11 which everyone seems to think is a brilliant deck. Now what? Should I choose a deck from the list instead of the DSR-11? Need advice.

    It is worth noting that the DSR-11 is still listed as a supported device under the PAL device category. In the spirit of pure, unsubstantiated speculation, perhaps support was dropped for the DSR-11 using NTSC because the DSR-11 does not support the North American NTSC Set-up Standard for IRE levels? Okay, not really related to its functionality with FCP as this is an AD-DA conversion issue, and this is still an issue with the DSR-25, which is supported, but maybe?
    Check out this excellent Graeme Nattress article regarding this specific issue.
    I have also seen postings at emotionDV regarding Sony replacing logic boards in the DSR-11 deck, and the deck ceasing to function. Only one unconfirmed report as yet, but perhaps a more common problem.

  • Compatible Batteries for Sony Mini DV DCR-HC85

    I'm having trouble finding a battery for my Sony Mini-DV Handycam DCR-HC85.
    I need probably the the longest battery life batter they offer.  Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Hi timjanosko,
    There are actually three models of batteries that we sell that would work with this camcorder. The Lenmar Lish100, Lish70, and the Lish50 should all be compatible with teh Sony DCR-HC85. The Lish100 will give you the longerst battery life, while the Lish50 will give you the shortest (the Lish70 is between the two of them in terms of battery life).
    I hope this helps!

  • Will Apple replace my battery for free?

    I have a first gen 15" macbook pro - one of the first production runs which was subject to the battery recall in 2006 (remember? the one that apple insisted had absolutely nothing to do with Sony's exploding batteries...)
    That battery was subsequently replaced under warranty in May 2008 - i had 3 year hardware warranty because i bought it through my uni. However in January this year, it's performance seemed to degrade somewhat so I called Apple - I was told that because Apple had already replaced it once, they would not replace it again, despite it still being within warranty, well below 300 cycles and capacity being in the region of 50% of initial according to Coconut Battery. I was told all i could do was try to calibrate it. I did this and things improved enough for me to drop it. Wish I hadn't because the warranty ended in February.
    I am now in the position of no longer being under warranty and the battery capacity degraded to about 25% of initial capacity. Since i installed Snow Leopard I have had the Service Battery warning. Has anybody had any experiences with Out-Of-Warranty battery replacements? I'm thinking of taking it to an Apple Store but don't want to bother with the journey if they won't replace it - i'll order a non-apple higher capacity one online!

    "Will Apple replace my battery for free?"
    No one here can answer your question because this is a user to user forum. You will need to call Apple yourself & ask them.
    "Condition: Check Battery"
    Means you need a new battery which you already know.
    "Has anybody had any experiences with Out-Of-Warranty battery replacements?"
    Not me personally. However, there have been cases reported here (if you do a fourm search) some users have had their batteries replaced out of warranty. Apparently, Apple does this on a _*case by case*_ basis.
    Your best bet is to call Customer Relations - 1-800-767-2775 plead your case politely & see what they can do for you.
    Good luck!

  • Sony DSR-20

    I just upgraded from FCP 3 to FCP 4/HD. To do that I had to also upgrade to Mac OS 10.3. Now, while running FCP ver 4 it cannot identify my Sony DSR-20 deck. Is there a way to get the system to read the deck?
    Thanks for any help.

    Often in upgrading the OS, QT or FCP for some odd reason QT will get knocked slightly off kilter. The usual solution it to force a full reinstall of QT.
    This is how:
    Go to /library/receipts and delete any files that say Quicktime followed by a number e.g. Quicktime652.pkg
    Go to the Apple quicktime site and download the appropriate version of Quicktime to your hard drive.
    Run the Quicktime installer.
    Reboot
    Repair Disk Permissions for your System Disk (Disk Utility > Select the system disk > Repair Disk Permissions)
    Good luck.

  • Sony DSR-250 -- Multipurpose Thoughts

    I am considering this camera; SONY DSR-250 and need your advice.
    My hope is to buy a camera to serve a multi-purpose role including:
    short films
    corporate work -- commerials, seminars and speakers
    TV news
    independent journalism -- news repprts, feature stories for websites
    and also legal used such as depositions...
    My questions:
    1. Is this Sony mac-compatible?
    2. Is this camera a solid, multi-purpose camcorder that I can use for different needs?
    3. Strengths/weaknesses assessments
    4. This camera is in the $4k range, any others that I should consider to serve these needs in these $?
    Thank you.

    It's an ok camera. for my money, I'd get a dvx 100 instead. Better optics. But the 250 will take large shell cassettes, up to 3 hrs recording time, and records in dvcam, better than dv.
