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?

    The 2009's didn't support sound on HDMI. That came in 2010. Are you sure it ever worked?

    As for the ''"Warning: this version of firefox is no longer supported?"'' is sounds as if you still have the old http://www.google.com/firefox Firefox start page hosted by Google as your homepage. This old default homepage is no longer used (Firefox 3.6.* and earlier) as '''about:home''' has been in use since Firefox 4.0
    Either ignore the "You're not on the latest version of Firefox" message, change homepage to '''about:hom'''e, change it to another page or leave blank.

  • RAW support in Aperture for Sony R1

    For Aperture 1.5 the Tech Specs indicate that it supports RAW format for Sony DSC-F828, DSC-V3 and DSLR-A100.
    Does anyone know if it then also supports Sony's DSC-R1 digital camera?
      Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Hello,
    Unfotunately it doesn't work at all with the DSC-R1. The new OS system as well as Aperture 1.5 don't provide support for RAW format coming from the DSC-R1.
    A few months ago though, you could see on the list of supported camera for Aperture 1.x < 1.5 a possible support for DSC-R1 (the name on list was followed by a star). This was also before the entry on the market of the alpha-100 Sony-Minolta. This is sad, as I guess they preferred tp support a wider spectrum of sold camera with the alpha, on the hypothesis that Sony would sell a lot of them, in fact much more than the DSC-R1.
    Personaly, I will try to crack the system to include the DSC-R1, following the instructions provided on this forum.

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • Lens Exif metadata worked for KM but no more for Sony cams

    Playing with the metadata panel in Aperture 2.1, I was surprised to see the information for the lens manufacturer/model for some shots I did with my old Konica-Minolta 5D DSLR.
    Sony took over the Konica-Minolta DSLR system about 2 years ago and as many others I have since moved to a Sony A100 body and recently to an A700 body.
    Using the very same lenses, that give me detailed lens Exif metadata with the old Konica-Minolta 5D, the metadata field is empty with Sony A100 and A700 files.
    A bit annoying, that the 4 years old Konica-Minolta 5D is supported in Aperture, while the follow up models from Sony are not.
    Hope this will be fixed in the next update.
    Peter

    Steve,
    you are probably right, that Sony is encoding the lens data in a somewhat non standard way.
    But as far as I know, in the EXIF of the Konica-Minolta files, this was done as well in a non standard way, by storing a binary lens code (at least I don't find any plaintext lens data in the image file, when I peek into it with a low level file-editor like Hexedit). As the lens information is displayed in clear text for the Konica-Minolta files within Aperture, Apple must have already integrated a lens database holding data for Konica-Minolta and Sony lenses. Interestingly even new Sony lenses like the Carl-Zeiss 16-80 lens show up, when used on an old Konica-Minolta DSLR.
    For me it looks like Sony might store the same lens-code now in a different proprietary EXIF field but Aperture is still looking into the old Konica-Minolta EXIF field, which is non existent or empty.
    So yes, Sony probably broke it, but there was enough time for Apple to fix it, especially as they have updated the lens database all the time. It is weired to add all recent Sony lenses to Aperture's lens database, but make the data only available, if you use the lenses on a 5 years old Konica-Minolta body.
    So I repeat my request for Apple to fix this in Aperture soon.

  • Where do I find GPIO device options for our cameras for Temp/Humidity/AC etc?

    I have a partner that is looking to deploy our small business IP Surveillance products integrated with building management for atmospherics and lighting as well as motion.  Can someone provide any insight into who provides the I/O devices that would plug into the cameras and trigger the desired recording?
    Thank you.  Mark

    There are many manufacturers of sensors.  You need to review the GPIO specifications located in the camera admin guide to make sure the electrical specifications are acceptable.
    A source for GPIO devices including temperature sensors is http://www.homesecuritystore.com/default.aspx
    There is no endorsement or recommendation for this site, just a reference to start your investigation on available sensors.

  • LMS 3.2.1 with WS-C4500X-16 (Supported Device)?

    Hi,
    is the device WS-C4500X-16 Supported in LMS 3.2.1?
    i tried to serch it in the Supported Device Table for LMS 3.2, but i didnt found the exact module (4500x).
    here are the link for the:
    Supported Device Table for LMS 3.2
    thanks
    dawit

    Hi Dawit
    Do you have device available with you? If yes then it will be better if you can check sysObjectID (1.3.6.1.2.1.1.2)
    of device and then check in supported device table.
    It always good to check device support with sysObjectID for accuracy.
    Thanks

  • Device support for Sony PRS-T1 in 1.8.2?

    I installed ADE Preview 1.8.2 (Mac) and it does see my Nook, but not my Sony PRS-T1. Is there some workaround (such as: use Windows, uninstall Reader app, etc.)?
    This model is listed on the 'supported devices' page. 

    Hi Tom Semple,
    If you activate your two devices with same account (i.e. Adobe ID), you may transfer your purchased book freely (if permission allows). There is a known issue that ADE still cannot access it with Reader software for Mac installed (Reader for PC works). But you still can try to copy books manually.
    Good luck!
    Regards,
