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!

  • 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,
    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.

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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.

    How do I disable device control on a 3ccd panasonic mini dv camcorder using final cut express. It is very simple on final cut pro, but for some reason I cannot figure it out on final cut express. Do I need to do something with the camera itself first?

    Switch to the DV Converter option?
