Device Control for HV-20 capturing DV?

In FCE, I'm using the "DV-NTSC Firewire Basic" Easy Setup to capture DV (not HDV) from a Canon HV-20. It works great using "Capture Now," but "Capture Clip" apparently is not available.
Can anyone confirm that full-fledged device control is not available in this configuration? (That is, I can't preview the tape and set In and Out points before capturing.)

My mistake, duh! The Capture window works just fine in this configuration. One must, however, click the "Play" button!

  • FCP 7 no longer supports device control for sony cameras?

    I recently tried to capture some HDV footage from my Sony HVR-A1U miniDV camcorder in FCP 7.  It's been a little while since I used this camera, but I am certain that the last time I used it to capture footage it was a controllable device. 
    I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard, can anyone comment if this rolled-back device control for Sony cameras?  It wants me to capture as a "Sony Firewire device" which is listed under "non-controllable devices"  I am 100% certain I've previously logged timecode and batch captured with this computer and camera.
    It initializes the camera just fine, but it captures with no control, as in "capture now."
    I'm on FCP 7.0.3 on a 2 X 2.8 GHz Quad Core Intel OSX 10.6.8.
    I've tried all the usual re-starting FCP and the device and plugging in/un plugging iLINK cable etc. 
    Does anyone have a work-around?  I'm not crazy for thinking this used to be possible, right?  Should I roll back to Tiger if I want to use this camera?

    I'm on FCP 6.0.6 using OS 10.6.8.  Not using that Sony camera, but the Sony Z7U.  I know this is comparing apples to oranges.  But I can log and capture as a controllable device.  I'm thinking your problem is related to something else besides the OS being 10.6.8.
    Have you repaired permissions after you upgraded?

  • Sony device control for HVR V1E in FCS2

    This is a question for Apple really.
    Can we get a Sony device control that works with the V1?
    I have Final Cut Studio 2, and I've just had the biggest headache trying to get the thing to capture from my camera. I've had to use the Firewire Basic 25 setting just to get it working, but that's far from perfect.
    The problem with all of them seems to be a delay - FCP always ends up 'searching for media' or just fails altogether. It's not because of broken timecode either.
    T

    I know exactly what you're saying. I thought this was how the camera worked too.
    The confusing thing is this: having recorded at 25P on the camera I did various capture set ups in FCP. On the 1080i setting, I got an interlaced picture (the way I noticed this was by spinning the image a little in Motion). To try to remedy this effect I set up for HDV 25P, and lo and behold, no interlacing - no jagginess when spinning the image.
    Interesting, no? Trouble is, FCP doesn't seem to like my camera whatever settings I use.

  • Firewire device control with analogue capture?

    Please please help.
    I am trying to capture HDV footage (shot on a JVC HD251) in SD via our KONA LH.
    It seems farily easy to get the KONA to downcovert but i don't currently have any device control so therrefore have no timecode.
    On the AJA website this article seems to suggest that it is possible to have device control over firewire whilst capturing via the KONA.
    http://www.aja.com/html/supportkonaLHedoc.html and navigate to the WHITEPAPER: HDV Workflow
    Any help would be more than very welcome!
    Thanks in advance
    Mike

    sadly we are currently using our JVC HD251E camera which does not have RS422 as it is not a deck.
    it is the device control via firewire that is hinted upon in the whitepaper from the link at the top of this post that i am most interested in as it would be really useful if it is in fact possible.
    We don't intend on using our cameras as a decks for much longer and are looking at the possibilites of purchasing the BR-HD50 which has RS422 which will be ideal.
    Even with this we will still be using our Kona to downconvert...unless the JVC deck can downconvert via the firewire...which i guess i will only find out when trying it!
    Thanks for the suggestion all the same...but please please someone tell me if this is indeed possible. I don' tunderstand why AJA would hint at it if it is not possible.

  • Unable to initialize capture device and device control in HDV

    I shot with a Sony HVR-Z1U/Z1N and am using a Sony HDV 1080i tape deck to digitize.
    I recently purchased a MacBook Pro and installed FCP Pro 5 on it. After getting over some time code issues we were chugging along, when on the 4th tape the image on the log and capture screen suddenly dissapeared (I could get audio and could see the image on the tape deck). Well after taking the tape out, checking and rechecking it I popped it back in and ever since then, I have been getting this error mssg "Unable to initialize capture device and device control."
    I have tried deleting the preferences and starting from scratch. If I do that, and choose the easy setup with HDV- 1080i60, it gives me this error "Unable to locate the following external devices- HDV (1440 X 1080) 30fps.
    I upgraded to FCP 5.1.2 this morning and upgraded the OS to 10.4.7 and QT to 7.1.3 and still no change.
    Im at my wits end, Ive been working on this for a whole week now.
    Thank you,
    Bugs

    It has been reported to take more than one attempt to correct the installation but, if properly executed on a machine without other system problems, the QT reinstall process does work. The key element here is you must reinstall QT after you trash the receipts. The process is listed below.
    x
    To do a full quicktime reinstall.
    Go to /library/receipts and delete any files that say Quicktime followed by a number e.g. Quicktime703.pkg
    Go to the Apple quicktime site and download the appropriate version of Quicktime to your hard drive.
    Run the Quicktime installer.
    Repair Disk Permissions for your System Disk (Disk Utility > Select the system disk > Repair Disk Permissions)
    Reboot
    If this doesn't work, then the problem lies elsewhere:
    1. your system - user preferences, firewire ports or other system elements.
    2. your equipment - camera/deck/firewire cables.
    3. your process - not setting up the software properly or using the software erroneously.
    Listed below is a troubleshooting process. Not all steps are appropriate but the general process of isolating the problem is useful.

  • Device Control Capture from Beta SP Deck into a G-4, Using Firewire ???

    Hello,
    I have been told by many people that it is possible to capture video with device control from a Beta SP deck, if you have the correct setup. But no one seems to be able to tell me exactly how using a G-4 Dual 1.25, or G-5 single processor computer. What I'm hoping to do is establish a serial interface that will allow for device control from a RS-422 circumstance. I'm hoping that I can do this, and still capture using DV- I don't want to have to resort to using a video capture card, for an assortment of reasons that I won't get into.
    Question: Is there anyone out there converting video from a beta sp deck to firewire in FCP, using device control, and if so, what is your set up?
    Thanks!

  • Compatible decks for cs3 windows? no device control ...

    I recently purchased for my department (after much research, I thought) two dvd/dv decks for use with Premiere CS3...see below
    JVC SR-DVM600EU 3-in-1 Digital Video Recorder
    http://www.creativevideo.co.uk/public/view_item_cat.php?catalogue_number=jvc_sr-dvm600eu
    I have Vista and my colleague has XP so it was a chance to see if they'd work on both.
    My research told me they'd work with any NLE but on both machines it asked for a A/VC tuner driver which was not supplied by manufacturer and the JVC help was non -existant.
    So with the fun prospect of sending these decks back.. I have to find something else that is compatible. Here is all I could find that Adobe say but this is quite old..
    http://www.adobe.com/products/premiere/decks.html
    Does any one know anything that may help me purchase something????!
    We cant continue to use cameras to capture or the avc converter to capture from DVD as it is making our rubbish cameras even rubbisher!
    I would appreciate any help or advice from people who have attempted the same....

    Does premiere cs3 supports these no matter what the operating system?
    If so I may well invest..
    Also is there a method simliar for device control when capturing from dvd? or any combined dv/dvd systems at all...this would be V useful. OR
    Should I stick to the avc converter and use the software plug in like Pipeline ProVTR for this? Does that work for DVD players etc
    Any advice would be appreciated
    Thanks

  • Device Control/Capture Problem

    My computer set up is an HP xw9300 workstation running Windows XP. I shoot 720/60p HDV, sometimes with tape and sometimes with tape and hard drive. The cameras are JVC and the deck is the JVC BR-HD50. Although I had some difficulty getting Premiere from CS2 to recognize the deck for recording, it eventually did. No problems at all with Premiere in CS3. I recently upgraded to CS4...and haven't been able to capture anything since. In the dviice control, both under preferences and in the capture program, the settings that worked in CS2 and CS3 are JVC/Standard. Using the same settings with Premiere in CS4, device control will control the deck functions (forward/play/back), but it will not record and it will not stop the deck. I've tried all the JVC settings...none work. I've also tried to capture without device control...no soap. Anybody have any ideas as to what is going on here? Your help and suggestions are appreciated.

  • Fire Wire Control or RS 422 control for capture

    I am looking for a DVD player/recorder that can be controlled (via firewire/RS 422) by FCE and FCP for log and capture functions.
    Right not I have been HOT Rolling via a Conapus box (ADVC 100)
    Any suggestions

    Maybe I should look take video off the DVD via analog method like recording off of betacam SP or other traditional format....
    Is there any DVD player/recorder that has RS422 that can be controlled like a standard VTR? Is there any adaptors maybe something via USB that can be converted to control a RS 422
    What I am looking for does not have to be frame accurate... just capture.
    These may be old school methods... but I believe the quality will be at least as good as capturing a DV or Analog SD video via S-video or even component.

  • Is there a replacement for the old device control/status in the visa format?

    I'm tring to control the serial lines individually and can't seem to do it in labview 6.1. I have done it using device control/status in the older version of labview 5.0

    Yes, this is easy to do in LabVIEW 6. I am attaching a simple VI that monitors the line states and lets you control DTR and RTS.
    This example VI is one we plan to add to this Developer Exchange site in the near future, so if you have any feedback, please let us know.

  • Premiere Elements 12 - Add media webcam "no device control"

    Hi, I have Adobe Premiere Elements 12 and I am trying to record live using Logitech C920 Webcam. Whenever I try to "add media", even though it recognizes both image and audio devices in the webcam, it shows "no device control" and the screen is black. How can I solve this situation? Thank you.

    franciscoptm
    Just some thoughts....
    Premiere Elements 12 assumed on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit
    Add Media
    Webcam or WDM
    In the Premiere Elements 12 Capture Window, there are 2 tiny arrows pointing right at the top right of the Capture Window. You can access
    Capture Settings and Device Control there.
    Click on Capture Settings to bring up the Project Settings dialog. Click on Capture in the left column in the Project Settings dialog..
    In the Project Settings dialog, you should see "Capture Format: WDM Capture" and to the right of that a Settings tab.
    Click on that Settings tab to bring up the WDM Capture Preview Settings dialog.
    In the WDM Capture Preview Settings dialog, assure that you have check mark for
    During Preview
    Preview Video on Desktop
    Preview Audio on Desktop
    During Capture
    Preview Video on Desktop
    Preview Audio on Desktop
    Also, if you go to the Premiere Elements 12 Expert workspace Edit Menu/Preferences/Device Control, what choices do you have
    and which one is selected?
    We will be looking for your results. I have seen a video tutorial on Premiere Elements 12 working with the webcam that you appear
    to be using and all seems to be working.

  • How can I asociate a DataSource to a Port for my Video Capture Card???

    Hi!
    First of all, I sorry for my bad english.
    I'm trying to manage ports of my Video Capture Card.It's 4 ports. I believe I can manage it cause running this code I found in a web, I can see a panel called Video Source that contain all my capture devices (the capturer card too) and the four ports. Ports have been asociate like SVIDEO, TVTUNNER, COMPOSITE, COMPOSITE2. I'm trying use PortControl, but I don't ontain nothing. I'm learning java for around only three weeks, I don't know very much.
    My question: How can I asociate a DataSource to a Port for my Video Capture Card and so manage 4 streamings data . Should I work Port Control over a medialocator, a datastream, a player...?
    I'm looking forward your answers. I'm very sad cause this problem.
    Thanx for advance!

  • PPRO CS3 RS-422a device control?

    Hello everyone,
         I'm attempting to capture within Premiere Pro CS3 from a Panasonic AJ-HD130DC DVCPRO HD deck.  The manual states that the deck is RS-422a compatible and we've been successfully capturing from this deck using machine control with our Velocity HD system for quite some time so I know it should work.
         I've called adobe support, and after some time they simply told me to 'reinstall premiere'.  This seems ridiculous.
         I'm on an HP xw8600 workstation using the single COM1 port on the motherboard directly connected to the Panasonic deck. I've gone through the 'device control' settings in premiere and set it as follows:
    Protocol - Panasonic RS-422
    Port - COM1
    Time Source - LTC (only option)
    Time Base - 59.94/60fps
         This configuration gets rid or the "Device Control Error: No Communications with VTR" warning, so I know it's doing something.  But it still doesn't control the deck.
         I've looked into changing some of the settings on the COM1 port in Windows XP64 device manager, but I'm not sure of what it should be and left it default.
         Any ideas, thoughts or experience with this would be greatly appreciated.  This is a rather popular broadcast DVCPRO HD deck and it seems that premiere MUST be capable of communicating with it... that's what the "PRO" stands for right?
         Thank you.

    Since the computer's COM port is RS232, you'll need to convert that to RS422 as well as accommodate the connector genders at each end. The Addenda RS-2/3R cable does this in one neat package. See at www.addenda.com.
