Solaris 10 x86 Firewire (IEEE 1394) camera frame grabbing

How do you do frame (sequence) grabbing from Firewire (IEEE 1394) camera on Solaris 10 x86? What API can I use?
XIL documentation doesn't seem to mention Firewire cameras specifically. And I tried to compile Linux libdc1394 on Solaris 10 x86, but got errors.
Thank you.

Hello Mark,
these forums are user-to-user.
If you work for Caen Engineering, Inc. I would strongly recommend that you contact Sun directly as an OEM.
Unfortunately you didn't mention the particular blog you referring to.
A quick search ("Solaris firewire") on blogs.sun.com returned the following blog entry from January 2006

NI-IMAQ for IEEE 1394 cameras under LabVIEW 6.1

I just purchased this driver for Firewire cameras and got the latest version 2.0 that seems to only work for LV 7 and higher. Which version works for LV 6.1 and where can I get it? (Older versions of these drivers don't seem to be available under the driver pages at ni.com in the usual place.) I suppose i need to "downgrade" now. Any insights?

Hello bernhardschnurr,
Thank you for using our discussion forums. You will have to use NI-IMAQ for IEEE 1394 cameras ver 1.5.3 or earlier for support for LabVIEW 6.1. These drivers are not available for download on our website. I would recommend contacting your local NI support and they can help you get these drivers. Please visit http://www.ni.com/support/ and choose to phone NI.

Scion ieee 1394 camera

Can I use a scion cfw-1310C CCD ieee 1394 camera with Labview? I have the NI firewire drivers and IMAQ software. I'm not sure if this camera is compatible

I am using IMovie 11 with a new iMac. Unable to import video from a Panasonic PV-GS400 mini-DV camcorder using a Firewire IEEE 1394 400 cable connected to a Firewire 400 to 800 adapter which is then connected to a Thunderbolt to Firewire 800 adapter.

How can I get iMovie to recognize my Panasonic PV-GS400 as a device so I can import video to my iMac? I have a FireWire IEEE 1394 400 cable connected to the camcorder. Since my new iMac has only Thunderbolt ports, I purchased a Firewire 400 to 800 adapter to connect to the cable. I also purchased a FireWire 800 to Thunderbolt adapter to connect to the computer. My camcarder is still not recognized.

I would suggest that you try a 9 pin to 4 pin Firewire Cable along with the Firewire to Thunderbolt adapter.
Those Firewire 400 to 800 adapters do not seem to work well with iMovie.
The 9 pin to 4 pin cables are available at reasonable prices here, for example.

HT3204 This is wgat my coputer said after running diagnostics on it: Connection attempt to firmware update server was unsuccessful.An unknown error occurred (-9808).No FireWire (IEEE 1394) Host Controller found.

When I run the diagnostic on my computer this is what it says: Connetion attempt to firmware update server eas unsuccessful. An unknown error occured (-9808). No fireWire (IEEE 1394) Host Controller found. What should I do so that I am able to update and restore my ipod?

In the course of your troubleshooting to date, have you worked through the following document?

Is there any way to interface an IEEE 1394 camera to LabVIEW 8.0 without buying the new vision software package?

Is there any way to interface an IEEE 1394 camera to LabVIEW 8.0 without buying the new vision software package? We upgraded to LabVIEW 8.0 to use a new NI Digital I/O device, but we do not have the budget to upgrade the camera driver for 8.0? Is there any other way to interface an IEEE 1394 camera to LabVIEW?
Thanks,
Bpb

I think this is possible if there is an SDK delivered with your camera or
you use the Windows 1394 video driver for handling this.
Kind regards,

How to grab two IEEE 1394 cameras simultaneously?

Is it possible to grab two or more firewire cameras simultaneously? I have two Sony XCD-X710 cameras and they are both connected in same card in PC. Grabbing works fine with only one camera, but when trying to grab two cameras simultaneously, the computer will crash. Sometimes it crash immediately and sometimes it takes few seconds to crash.
Used frame rate is quite low (about 3.75 fps).

It is definitely possible to acquire from two or more firewire cameras simultaneously, as long as you are not exceeding the bandwidth of the firewire bus (which you should not be at a frame rate of 3.75 fps).
What version of the NI-IMAQ for IEEE 1394 driver do you have? There were some issues with version 1.1 of the driver with certain cameras and simultaneous acquisition, and these were resolved in version 1.5 of the driver. If you have not yet upgraded to version 1.5, contact NI Sales at (888) 280-7645 for a free upgrade.
If you already have NI-IMAQ for IEEE 1394 version 1.5, please let me know and I would be happy to assist you further.

Firewire IEEE 1394: Capture Card vs. On-Board Motherboard

I should know the answer to my question, but I don't...really. To capture video in my current computer, I had to install a video capture card with an IEEE 1394 Port. It is my understanding that there are motherboards that have "on-board" IEEE 1394 Firewire. If I purchase such a motherboard, does that mean I will not need a video capture card? In the specs of motherboards they will give the number of available IEEE 1394 Rear Panel Ports. Do these ports connect to "on-board" firewire and can they be used to capture video? Please set me straight. Thanks.

I agree with Neale. One consideration is the number of controller chips you have on either the MoBo connections, or your card.
Why is that important? Especially with Capture from a camera, it is always best to ONLY have the camera hooked to a separate controller chip. Some MoBo's and cards, might have multiple connectors, but they may all feed through a single chip. That might well preclude having any other FW device hooked to any of the other connections. Sometimes, it's tough to tell the number of IEEE-1394 chips, unless one has a good schematic of the board/card and the various chips are shown.
If one uses other FW devices, then the chip count will likely matter. While I have 4 MoBo connectors w/ 2x chips, I also have a multi-chip 4x connector card, plus a multi-chip 6x FW-1394b (FW-800) card.
The two things that you wish to avoid is daisy-chaining ANY camera, and connecting a camera to any shared chip. If I had a card already, and did not need to include it with the old computer, and had a spare slot on the MoBo, I'd install it too, but then I usually have 4-6 FW-800 externals, plus maybe 4 FW-400 externals, and still have empty chips available for my camera.
Good luck,
Hunt

NI-IMAQ for IEEE 1394 camera

I just got it working with DV camcorder today. But I haven't update my
website. I need to do a final test over this weekend. On next Monday I
will post an update in m
y website. So far I've tested on Cannon ZR45MC
DV camcorder and it worked fine. I can capture the live video or tape
from the camcorder through firewire and sample the image data out of
it. And was able to remote control the recording action.

Interface Not Found Error when Using Snap Example for Firewire (IEEE 1394)

I just recently installed a SONY XCD-SX910 to interface with Labview 8.2. When choosing the driver, only the Legacy driver would work for the Firewire(R) (or IEEE 1394) installation. After installing the driver, I successfully acquired images from the MAX inteface. However, when attempting to trace through the 1394 Legacy Snap Example from the IEEE 1394 installation document, I am receiving the error "Interface Not Found". I have tried a few iterations attempting to name the camera such as "cam0" (the name assigned to the camera in MAX) and "cam0 : SONY XCD-SX910". However, the error persists.
What should I name my camera for it to find the interface? Is there another underlying problem that is not obvious?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Is the Legacy Snap example you are referring to the one that is seen here: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/2977? Can you post screenshots from both Measurement & Automation Explorer and the VI you are trying to use? Also, can you verify in Measurement & Automation explorer that you are using the 1394 driver? You can do this by right clicking your camer and the selecting driver and choosing the appropriate one. Some more information on all that you are seeing would help in order to troubleshoot this.

3. NI IMAQ for IEEE -1394 Ver 1.5
4. Vision Development MOdule 7.0
I am able to use the camera via Vision Assitant (7.0), but unable to see
the
camera listed in MAX. I have tried all the steps listed in FAQs.The driver
for
the camera is 1394imaq (i.e. all this has been checked).
I can run the 1394-Imaq vis & acquire images as well, but like i said no
camera listed in max ....
NI Software : LabVIEW version 7.0
NI Hardware : Other device
Driver Version :
OS : Windows 2000

Hello,
It looks like the MAX provider for NI-IMAQ 1394 may have been corrupted. This can usually be fixed by running a repair on the installer. You can do this by running the installer from Add/Remove Programs.
Hope this helps!

Equium A100-299: Firewire (IEEE 1394) port is not recognized

I have a new A100299.
It seems that the firewire port is not recognized. Is there any software or driver that is not installed? Or what can I do?
Regards
U Molin

Hi
What do you mean with not recognized? Did you check the device manager and there is a yellow exclamation mark or what?
In my knowledge the Windows XP uses the own firewire drivers and you dont need to use any 3rd party drivers to enable the IEEE1394 port.
As I said above, please check the device manager if the port is listed properly. If there are no yellow exclamation marks everything was installed properly.
By the way: Did you reinstall the OS?
If yes how did you install it? Did you install the chipset utility.

HT1695 No FireWire (IEEE 1394) Host Controller found.

So my sons Ipod is giving this error message after I ran the diagnostic?
Any possible way to restore the Wifi on his device?

If you do not have a firewire controller on your computer the diagnostics will say that. However, firewire was only used on early regular iPods, not iPod touches.
Thus, that is not your problem.
Please provide more information about your problem.
