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.

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.

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?

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!

A lost my remote control for apple tv. I want to use my phone as a remote but the applications can' pair with the Apple TV device , how can I pair them without remote?
Setup for remote app: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1947
Specifically:
Set up Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation)
On Apple TV, select Settings from the main menu.
Select General > Remotes > Remote App. If Home Sharing isn't set up on your Apple TV, you should turn it on.
Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation) uses Home Sharing to stream content from your iTunes library on your computer to your HDTV. If you connect your Apple TV to your iTunes library using Home Sharing, you can use Remote to browse and play content from any iTunes library in the Computers section of your Apple TV. You can also use Remote to select between available speakers to enhance your audio and video experience. -

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

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.

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,
BugsIt 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.

G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)Update:
I've just taken the firewire cable out of the front of the G5 and instead put it through an M-Audio Firewire 410 interface and the video's coming through fine through that. Anyone know why this would be the case? (Same cable so obviously not a cable problem either).

How do I set up timed access control for a time past midnight
I would like to set up timed access control for a number of my devices that would stretch past midnight... An open network from 6AM to 2AM - effectively only blocking access from 2AM tp 6AM in the morning....
Any notion on how to do this? the timed factily does not like the setting to enable 6A to 2A, says the times are invalid.
Setting up timed access from 6AM to 11:59P, then doing another from 12A to 2A causes a service "hiccup" of 1 Minute.Set up each device as follows:
Everyday........Between.......6:00 AM and 11:59 PM
Add a second rule for each device that will state....
Everyday.....Between.......12:00 AM and 2:00 AM
You might think that there would be a one minute break between 11:59 PM and 12:00 AM, but that will not be the case, at least on every AirPort that I have ever programmed.. Reason.....11:59 is really 11:59:59:59 turning off at 12:00 AM. But, you have a second rule to allow access at 12:00 AM, so the AirPort will be "on" at the same time the first rule ends, so there will be no break.
If you really want the second rule to turn the AirPort "off" at 2:00 AM.......then set that time for 1:59 AM. If you set the rule for 2:00 AM, then AirPort will really turn off at 2:01 AM. -
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.

HP Color LaserJet CM3530fs
The printer is printing when asked to do so by a computer but the display says:
Error
Communication lost (device <-> control panel); Turn off then on.
The orange attention light is illuminated and the display is always lit and shows the statement above.
It does not improve when switched off and on or power disconnected for long periods or pushing reset button at rear of unit.
Embedded web server works normally and thinks that all is ok.
Buttons on control panel do nothing. eg. I cannot photocopy or scan.
The printer is about 2 years old but gets very light use in a family home.
Please help
Thank you.
HaigThis seems to be a commercial product. For the best chance at finding a solution I would suggest posting in the forum for HP Business Support!

Got a SONY mp3 player for Christmas: How do I sync with iTunes?
OK, here's the deal. I have a MacBook Pro and use iTunes regularly, but now I have a SONY mp3 player from Santa. How do I get my songs from iTunes onto my SONY? Someone help. Thanks!
I have tried this with a SanDisk mp3 player, so I am not sure if it would work with a Sony - don't see why not..
Open your iTunes, build a playlist of songs you want to put in the Walkman.
Connect the Walkman and when the icon mounts on the desktop, open the Finder window to it - if it has a .mp3 folder inside, ('cos the sony devices have multiple folders in some instances), open that. Drag and drop the playlist of songs - (the list not the sidebar icon for it) into the .mp3 folder, and it should copy the files right in. iTunes itself will not likely 'see' the Walkman, but the Finder does, and will treat it like a new storage volume - which it is. You just build the iTunes playlists to tell the Finder what to copy.
