Capture device goes offline interrupting capture.

Sony DSR V-10
PPro CC
Dell Inspiron 660
Win 7 Pro
8gb ram
Startech PCI 1394a Firewire card

Thanks for the response.
I capture SD video from tape using Sony DSR V10. I installed a fire wire card for interface. PPro capture controls work fine however during capture the device goes offline interrupting capture. I can save the clip and get an entire capture using multiple clips by overlapping. Once the capture device goes offline I stop the deck manually but as soon as it stops the capture device & controls come back online..I rewind, overlap and continue. It goes offline erratically. I have played with security interruptions, auto-save and no relief.

ORPOS system tries to insert the journal when device goes offline

ORPOS 13.1.3 system tries to insert the journal for system status as any one of the device goes offline such as Database,Scanner, MICR, Till, Printer,etc. In view of such instances duplicate insertion for the same device status might result in access primary key violation which is a known issue. However, we still need to confirm whether its a base product behaviour or customization errors. we were not able to simulate this issue in UAT environment seems the chances for this occurence is rare.
Can you please confirm whether its base product issue?
Appreciate your help.
Regards,
Hari

Hi Hari
If it is creating any issue it seems to be a customization issue. May be if you can share logs we can help you more.
JL_ENR table contains JournalBeginTimestamp as his primary key which cannot be same for any 2 journal
But as such POS going online/offline multiple times does not create any issue

Capturing device offline with BlackMagic DeckLink Quad

Hi guys,
I have a problem capturing with a BlackMagic DeckLink Quad and Premiere Pro CS6. Capturing with the Blackmagic included Media Express software works fine. However, Premiere Pro tells me that my capturing device is offline.
What I did to run the capture:
Open Premiere Pro CS6
New project --> set capture to Blackmagic capture --> press ok
New sequence dialog --> select format exactly like specified in system control panel of BlackMagic (1080 25p).
Open capture dialog with F5 key.
Tells me that the capturing device is offline.
Controlling capturing properties for Blackmagic Capture and ensuring that they match the system control panel specs and the specs used in the other software(1080 25p, Video Format: Motion JPEG)
Final State --> Premiere Pro still tells me that the capturing device is offline and I have a black window.
I read somewhere that the installation order of driver and Premiere Pro is important, therefore I tried already both constalations (Driver, Premiere Pro - Premiere Pro, Driver ) without any success. A driver update of the Declink Quad did not have any effect.
Driver version:
Blackmagic DeckLink SDI - Date: 22.01.2015 Version: 13.4.10.868
Any help would be highly appreciated.

Yes, Component is indeed not a better quality... Interesting because I did plug into a flatscreen, and I have nothing as well... So maybe it is the component out of the z1u that is not even working! Will try with another cable in case, but that may be the answer... Thank you for pointing that out! didn't even think about it...
I'm really trying to capture old HDV tapes, and always get those phantom breaks with Firewire (using another deck since it's broken on the z1u), now I'm wondering if you get less breaks doing 1080i or ProRes?? Although files are way bigger.

JMF Registry Editor reports "Capture device query unsuccesful"

I am working with JMF. Sometimes (maybe 1/3rd of the time) when I go into JMF Registry Editor, Capture Devices and click "Detect Capture Devices". I get an error that says "Capture device query unsuccesful".
There is no further information. Nothing is logged in the log file. I can find nothing about this in the documentation, nor can I find this text in the downloadable source. Anyone know what this means?
Also, as far as I can tell, this has nothing to do with how my device is connected and so on, it will work one time, and not another.
Thanks,
Joe Larson

I am having the same problem, however it never works for me. I noticed that when the JMFInit runs that the program terminates while it is apparently still quering a device. I think that it's a timeout issue. I seems like the device query is not waiting long enough for the devices to respond. I have not found a way to change the timeout value. Any ideas on how to change the timeout value?
Also, have you had any success in using the JMF for video capture and transmission. I am working on a chat program. For now, it's just for fun, but maybe will will make is a sellable product later.
Take care,
John

"Capture Device Offline" message

I borrowed a friend's SONY camcorder to shoot some footage. He suggested Adobe Premiere for editing it. I downloaded the trial software and now I'm trying to capture the video. I had to buy a firewire card to connect to my computer. When I load Premiere, I go to the project and try to capture, but above a black screen it says, "Capture Device Offline." I'm pretty sure that my card, cable, and camcorder are all connected properly. I surmised this since when I connected them all, the screen on the camcorder went from saying "16bit" to "DV IN". I've read a bunch of the forum topics on this, but the solutions don't seem to be exactly related to what's going on here. I checked my Device Manager and there's no exclamation mark next to the IEEE 1394... nor its subfolder, VIA 1394 OHCI...
I'm only somewhat computer savvy, so I'm hoping someone can assist. Thanks,
Caleb

I see that this thread is marked as answered, but as I have found a slightly different solution I shall mention it here.
I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit and have installed Adobe PP CS5. I have just tried to capture standard DV from my old handycam and encountered the same problem as outlined above.
After trying most of the fixes without success I finally worked out a solution that worked for me. Here it is and I hope it helps.
Connect the camera to the PC using a firewire and when prompted by Windows select edit video in Premiere Pro.
When PP opens, or you already have PP open, go to File>Capture and the Capture window appears. At the top you will see the message "Capture Device Offline".
Here you can test whether or not your device is connected properly by clicking on the play button at the bottom of the dialogue box which should start the tape playing in your camera. You won't see anything happen in the Capture box .
Click on the Settings tab in the Capture window and under Capture Settings click on Edit...and change the Capture Format from the default HDV to DV and click OK.
The capture window should now show the connection to your camera. .
You can also change the Device control settings here, but I have no idea what happens if you don't. I usually check all my settings, especially things such as PAL etc...
You can later change the Preferences, if you like, by going to Edit>Preferences>Device Control> Options which should avoid you having to do this each time.
I will just mention ( not strictly speaking related ) that another bug in CS5 seems to be an error message that comes up if you have a lot of scenes and you use split scene, as I do. The message says "SRC\FileManager\FileManagerIMPC.cpp -94".
If you get this message, the capture will appear to stall, but as long as the tape is still running in your camera, leave it alone. Do nothing. The footage is still being captured to your Hard Drive.
Once the tape has finished, close the error message which will close Prem Pro.
You will then need to re-open the project and import the captured files from the folder you captured it to.
Just one last suggestion. If for some reason this does not work for you, and it should as long as your firewire connection is sound, you can always capture DV footage using Windows Movie Maker in Windows XP, or by using Photo Gallery in Vista or Windows 7. It does a pretty good job and saves you having to install another program.

Capture Device Offline error message

Hi,
I have a new iMac and am not able to capture video. I get the "capture device offline" message. I am having to use a Thunderbolt. When I use the same camera settings on my old Mac in FCP, it works fine. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Is a "Thunderbolt" a Firewire device?

Capture Device Offline

I have recently purchased an ACER Aspire 5735Z laptop and have installed Adobe Premiere Elements 3 on it. I have also purchased a firewire express card and firewire to dv cable in order to connect my Canon MV700 Mini DV Camcorder. When I insert my express card in the slot, my device manager tells me that my 'IEEE 1394 Host Controller' is working properly. However, my camcorder does not appear in device manager (camcorder is powered on and switched to playback mode). When I attempt to 'Get media from DV camcorder' within Prem Ele 3, I get the message 'Capture Device Offline'. I have looked at the online help pages and attempted to change capture settings but it doesn't make any difference. I would be really grateful for any help with this problem.

Hunt
When I connect my camcorder to my laptop, I get the bing-bong noise but no
icon in the taskbar. Also, when I try to import within Windows Moviemaker,
the message 'Import video could not find a compatible digital video device.
Verify that the digital video device is properly connected and turned on'.
I have since connected a friend's Sony Mini DV camcorder to my laptop using
exactly the same method. As soon as the device was switched to playback, it
instantly appeared in the taskbar and within device manager. I was able to
import video within Windows Moviemaker, but using Premiere Elements 3 I
still got the message 'Capture Device Offline'.
It has been suggested that I need to install drivers for my Canon MV700 but
it never came with a cd. I have checked online and have only been able to
find a driver download for XP and not Vista.

Capture Device Offline! Please help

I edit and capture EVERYDAY, nothing has been changed between yesterday and today...NOTHING.
I have a MacPro, Canon XH-A1s, using Premiere CS4.
When I got to capture, it says capture device offline!
I have seen this before, but was with my old standard def Sonycam, not my HDV CAM.
Any thoughts?

A couple of thoughts:
Does you Mac "see" the camera, when plugged in and turned on? [On a PC, one gets a little tone and the camera shows up in Device Manager.]
Do you have another FW cable to test with?
Have you possibly chosen the wrong Mode for the camera?
Do other FW devices work on that FW connector?
Again on the PC, there can be an important flow with some cameras - some need to be plugged-in, turned on, and THEN PrPro launched, and then the Capture module. As you can see, there are several possible combos of steps. Maybe try a different order, like plugging in the camera, starting PrPro, and the Capture module, and THEN turning the camera ON.
Just thinking here, and good luck,

"Capture device offline" - using Logitech webcam 9000

I am wanting to capture video using my Logitech webcam 9000, but I get "Capture device offline" in Adobe Premiere Pro when I attempt to capture video. Could someone provide some guidance on how to get this to work?
I used this webcam to capture video in Corel Visual Studio just fine, but I am having issues in Adboe.
thanks.

Welcome to the forum.
Given that hardware, I would just continue using Corel. You can Export from it, or perhaps that would be a Save operation (do not know that software), and then Import those files into PrPro for editing.
I do not even think that OnLocation will be suitable for the hardware.
Good luck,

Capturing device offline

I keep getting "Capturing Device Offline". Other than making sure all wires are plugged in correctly and and the camera is on VCR is there any other way to trouble shoot this problem?? I already went out and bought a new firewire plug and IT doesn't work either. Keep getting the same messsage.

Sorry, Bill, I did check those settings out and found them to be DV, but failed to mention that in my last post. Still alittle frustrated, tho, on why everything seems to be connected and the settings are correct but still get that message. I even bought a new firewire thinking it might be that, but no change. Any more suggestions?

"Capture Device Offline" message when attempting to add additional clips from HDV Videocamera,in CS5

"Capture device off line" message when attempting to add additional clips to existing project in Premiere Pro CS5.5.2.
Previous capture was accomplished, but, then when trying to add additional clips from same device it failed.
All 40 minutes of some 185 clips was originally captured using Sony Vegas Moviemaker Platinum 11, with no errors. The additional mt2 clips were then successfully imported into Premiere Pro after indexing and conforming the clips, and they play perfectly well and of a high quality in CS5.5.2 at 1440 x 1080i.
Why would the Capture device be off line , when no physical alteration has been made to the equipment ?

Hi Joe,
Thanks for the advice but, the splitter may not help here, now Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 12 which we also use for less complicated editing is now saying Canon HDV Camcorder is also "OFF LINE"
I think it is a physical connection issue either with the cable , the output from the camera or input into the laptop, because it was working. The issue has been intermittent making it difficilt to diagnose. We use it only for back up as we are overseas and do not have access to our main computer. The tapes are good and the video is high quality so I will have to wait worse luck, and the technical back up for HDV in Belgium is non existent as they have no computers in the stores that have the Firewire or I33394 card.
I have not changed any settings, I may have to wait till I get back to base in 10 days, I am also having an issue with a lens on the Canon 5 D Mark II, which I know must go back to Service but, it still works and, has issues after I dropped it ??????????

BATCH CAPTURE TAPELESS workflow still FCP is looking for a capture device when going ONLINE

Hi,
I am working on a documentary and about to go online with my edit.
I used Sony FS100. Tapeless. I did Log and Transfer to ProRes 422 in FCP 7.
Later when I run out of space I used Media Manager to RECOMPRESS everything to ProRes Proxi. Worked well.
But now when I try to batch capture to ProRes 422 FCP is looking for a capture device thinking I am working with tapes.
How do I make FCP undrerstand I am tapeless? Does the recompress kill the possibility of bach capturing back to online full quality 422?
Thanks for the support!
Gabor

I have read through some more forums and I only found one mention of the Media Manager 'Recomress' function.
It said:
"Transcoding with MM (recompress). It preserves timecode/reel name, file names, etc... Except the clip ID, which is used along with reel name and timecode to batch capture from source files (at least for P2)."
Clip ID is the metadata relyable for the work of batch capture. It seems without it it is impossible to batch capture.
I wonder why they designed Recompress like that, if it is true?

5.1.4 update breaks HDV capture? Unable to Initialize Capture Device

Problem:
Final Cut Pro cannot capture standard 1080i60 HDV footage from Sony FX1 camcorder. FCP reports "Unable to Initialize Capture Device" when the log and capture window is opened. However, the footage CAN be captured in iMovie (which is interesting, and unacceptable). When HDV>DV downconvert option on camcorder is activated, footage CAN be captured as anamorphic SD, so the camcorder and FW do work.
The problem is occuring on a rock-solid FCP system that I use on a regular basis (mainly for SD editing). It has been approx 2 weeks since I last attempted a HDV capture, the system has been working great with SD footage (still does).
Factors that have changed to my knowledge since HDV capture was last functioning properly:
*Added a new external FW drive into regular usage (a different brand than normally used, no issues with it so far).
*Updated FCP to 5.1.3, and then 5.1.4 when that fix came out. All SD captures and work have been fine so far.
Here's what's interesting...I had a copy of the FCP v5.0.4 .app that I had saved an archive of prior to the crossgrade update. Guess what? I can load it up, and it captures HDV without any problems! With that in mind, this looks like an FCP 5.1.4 issue. But I am at a loss on how to proceed further in troubleshooting. Many thanks in advance for any assistance.

---NOTES---
What I have tried:
*Attempted capture with a different Sony FX1 camcorder.
*Swapped firewire cables and system firewire ports.
*Attempted capture with camera FW chained to an external HDD.
*Unplugged all other external firewire devices from the system.
*Trashed FCP prefs using FCP Rescue 5, created new project using Easy Setup (for HDV).
*Tried different variations of FCP A/V settings, tried all the HDV FW device control presets and the HDV AIC capture preset.
*Per instructions at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301852 I removed the numbered Quicktime pckg Receipts and re-installed the latest version (7.13). Post-install/reboot, I repaired Disk Prefs and Verified the disk using Disk Util.
*Have also attempted installing QT 7.13 2 and 3 times in a row, also trying disk prefs repair BEFORE the post-install reboot.
Final Cut Pro Audio/Video Settings:
Sequence Preset: HDV-1080i60
Capture Preset: HDV
Device Control Preset: Sony HDV Firewire
Sony HDR-FX1 IN/OUT REC settings:
*VCR HDV/DV: HDV
*COMPONENT: 1080i/480i
*i.LINK CONV: OFF
*TV TYPE: 16:9
*A/V->DV OUT: OFF
System/Software Facts:
*Final Cut Pro 5.1.4
*Quicktime 7.13
*PPC Mac G5 2.7 Dual (2.5GB RAM)
*35GB free on System, 45GB free on internal FCP Scratch disk
Final Cut Pro 5.1.4, G5 DP 2.7 (PPC) Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I think I figured out this vexing problem. I too was having the same issue. Check to see that your Quicktime is newer than 7.1.2. If it isn't you'll have to upgrade it. I only upgraded to 7.1.6 here because I was afraid of going to a really new version. http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/quicktime716formac.html. After I upgraded my quicktime, I ran software update and the Final Cut Pro 5.1.4 update appeared. I hoipe this helps.
