SONY DSR-11 No longer supported in 5.1

I was just about to order this deck and after checking I find it is no longer on the supported list of qualified devices. I have been using an unsupported deck and getting terrible dropouts. That's why I was ready to move to the DSR-11 which everyone seems to think is a brilliant deck. Now what? Should I choose a deck from the list instead of the DSR-11? Need advice.

It is worth noting that the DSR-11 is still listed as a supported device under the PAL device category. In the spirit of pure, unsubstantiated speculation, perhaps support was dropped for the DSR-11 using NTSC because the DSR-11 does not support the North American NTSC Set-up Standard for IRE levels? Okay, not really related to its functionality with FCP as this is an AD-DA conversion issue, and this is still an issue with the DSR-25, which is supported, but maybe?
Check out this excellent Graeme Nattress article regarding this specific issue.
I have also seen postings at emotionDV regarding Sony replacing logic boards in the DSR-11 deck, and the deck ceasing to function. Only one unconfirmed report as yet, but perhaps a more common problem.

I have mid 2009 Mac Book Pro running 10.9.1. The hdmi mini port no longer supports sound on the Sony TV. This is apparently a change. It no longer shows as an option in system preferences/sound.Any ideas?

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

FC Studio 5.1 "crossgrade": Sony DSR-11 deck support

the Apple FC Studio 5.1 supported devices list does not include the Sony DSR-11 deck:
http://images.apple.com/finalcutstudio/pdf/20060403FinalCutStudio_QualifiedDevices.pdf
does anyone know definitively whether or not this deck can function with the FCStudio 5.1 cross-grade version?
thanks.

That only means Apple hasn't completed testing it yet.

Sony DSR 30 Deck not recognised

Hello,
I'm running FCP 3 & 5 and I use a Sony DSR 30 deck. The deck works fine on FCP 3, but having just got a new mac running Tiger and FCP 5, it no longer works.
I have checked on the Fire Bus and it is not listed. My other Firewire devices work and are listed when connected,just not the DSR 30 deck.
I have also trashed my QT receipts and re-installed QT manually, but this has not improved matters.
If my deck is nor showing up on the Fire Wire bus is it fair to conclude it is not supported?
If so is there a fix?
cheers,
Dame

Try a firewire bus reset:
- unplug ALL firewire cables from all ports on the computer
- unplug the power cord from the computer
- let the computer sit for 15-30 minutes (probably takes less time but you want to make sure all power drains from relvent capacitors on the motherboard)
The key point is if there are any connections to the firewire ports on the mac, the machine will not reset the firewire bus.
Also, the sequence of reconnection is important:
- connect the deck to the computer directly (no daisy chaining)
- power up the deck
- plug in the computer
- power up the computer
- check for the presence of the deck using system profiler.
After this if the deck doesn't show up in system profiler, time to take it in for service.
If the deck does show up but doesn't work with FCP, the quicktime-trash receipts and reinstall is the usual solution. It has been noted to take more than one attempt to get it to 'take'.
good luck.

Sony DSR-25 not found with FCP 5.1.2

Hi @ all,
I updated to FCP 5.1.2 to fix a dublicate bug with a Sony XDCam HD in 5.1.1 (http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=3269745#3269745)
This Problem was solved, but now i can't connect my Sony DSR-25 with Firewire to Mac. I have only one Firewire Onboard Slot and in 5.1.1 the DSR-25 worked fine. FCP doesn't finde the Deck
So did anyone have an intention or an idea what the problem could be with 5.1.2 ? Or did anyone has used a DSR-25 with FCP 5.1.2 already?
TOM

This is a good workaround for curing your camera recognition problem with FCP (if that's what it is):
First, check that your Easy Setup / Timeline / Camera or Deck Settings are all exactly the same, then making sure your camera or deck is in VTR mode, try to capture again.
FCP uses a different form of QT than iMovie for capturing, so if the camera works in iMovie (or if it's listed in System Profiler) but not FCP, it obviously means your Mac can see the VTR but FCP can't, so you need to do this QuickTime fix.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301852
Follow the instructions carefully and you should have things running in no time - it's quite safe but you must Trash the Receipts AND re-install QT from the link provided.
If the Camera / Deck isn't recognised by iMovie or System Profiler, try resetting the Firewire Bus . . . Turn off the Mac and disconnect the power and all Firewire cables. Leave it for 30 mins then connect back up.
Still not working? Try a different Firewire cable.
Failing all this, try resetting the PMU (Power Management Unit). The method varies from machine to machine, so visit the Apple site and search for it in support.
Don't use iMovie for capturing - it doesn't give you a timecode and that's very important.
Let us know how you get on!

Not sure what you want - you shoot the photo by doing a sweep and the camera makes a static JPEG that is long (panaromic) and you import it - on the camera and in iPhoto is is a panaromic photo

Premiere Pro CS5 Compatibility with Sony DSR-25 Deck

I have recently upgraded my computer to support cs5. I have a PNY Nvidia Quadro 2000 graphics card, 8 gb ram, an Intel Xeon 5150 processor and Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. My issue comes with running this system connected via firewire to a Sony DSR-25 deck. When connected, while working on a project, at any point I click on the file menu, it takes several seconds (sometimes half a minute) to load the drop-down menu. This is frustrating, but not entirely detrimental. The main problem is that when I try to capture video (I use the keyboard shortcut F5 to bypass my previous issue) the capture video will usually crash the program, or it will take forever and when I try to capture, it will miss almost the entire first minute of video trying to catch up. It starts rolling the tape, but just doesn't physically begin capturing at that time. I spoke to someone at Adobe and we narrowed the problem down to an issue with the deck, and I am trying to figure out if this deck is absolutely not compatible with this system or if there is some sort of work-around.

Try this:
In Windows: Click on Start -> Control Panel -> System -> Device Manager (up on top left), or just click the Start button and search for "device manager."
Swivel down the entry for "IEEE 1394 Bus host controllers, and right-click on the item that is revealed (will depend on your computer/card manufacturer). Select "Update Driver Software."
Click the "Browse my computer for driver software," and then the "Let me pick from a list" button.
In the list of drivers, select the one that has "(Legacy)" at the end; click Next, and then Close all the dialogs.
Try capturing again.

PRE9 No longer supports older nvidia card GPU's (?)

I've started this new discussion rather than continuing GPU Effects in PRE7 but not in PRE9 as this focuses more on the cards rather than the effects. In this discussion I hope that users with nvidia cards could report what their card is, and whether or not GPU Effects/Transitions show.
My nvidia 8800GT performs exceptionally well with PRE7.
Scrubbing along the timeline, or changing timeline scaling results in almost instantaneous redrawing of thumbnails.
All GPU effects and transitions are available and work well.
But with PRE9:
Scrubbing along the timeline, or changing timeline scaling, results in an agonisingly slow redrawing of thumbnails.
GPU effects and transitions are not available.
It seems to me that PRE9 is either no longer supporting older cards, or is identifying cards incorrectly. My gut feel is the first - that PRE9 is only working with *specific* video cards.
I think this because:
Adobe PRE9 Help shows:
About GPU effects
If your computer has an AGP‑ or a PCI‑based
video card, it probably has a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit). If
your GPU supports DirectX 9.x, Pixel Shader (PS) 1.3 or later, and
Vertex Shader (VS) 1.1 or later, you can use GPU‑accelerated effects. These
effects take advantage of the added video processing capabilities
of GPU cards, adding three‑dimensional realism to images.
You can find these effects in the GPU Effects menu in the Effects
view only if your computer has a supported GPU. (Some effect options
are available only if your graphics card supports Pixel Shader 2.0
or later and Vertex Shader 2.0 or later.) For details, see the system
requirements on the Adobe Premiere Elements product page
on the Adobe website.
I could not find graphics cards listed in Adobe Premiere Elements 9: System requirements. But I did find this on the Premiere Pro CS5 System Requirements:
Supported NVIDIA graphics cards for GPU acceleration
GeForce GTX 285 (Windows and Mac OS)
GeForce GTX 470 (Windows)
Quadro 4000 (Windows)
Quadro 5000 (Windows)
Quadro FX 3800 (Windows)
Quadro FX 4800 (Windows and Mac OS)
Quadro FX 5800 (Windows)
Quadro CX
It does make me wonder if PRE9 follows this restricted list of cards.
Another clue(?) is that the Adobe Knowledge Base 51526, Troubleshoot digital video playback, shows:
3. Switch the GPU playback option.
Note: This option is not present in Adobe Premiere Elements 9.0.
Adobe Premiere Elements is designed to take advantage of display
cards with accelerated GPUs. If you are having playback issues, make
sure you use the correct GPU playback mode that corresponds with your
display card.
Enable GPU Playback: The setting if you have a GPU-accelerated display card.
Disable GPU Playback:The setting offers the lowest performance but
is appropriate for display cards that do not fully support Direct 3D
So the feature to manually describe your card to PRE9 *HAS* been deliberately removed, by inference leaving it totally to the application to decide whether or not your card is supported.
I'll be posting this information at the Adobe Bug/Feature report.
Cheers,
Neale
Insanity is hereditary, you get it from your children

No, and it doesn't support some new cards in particular configurations either.
The main ones affected are the laptop hybrids in Sony Vaio. I have a Sony Vaio Z11, and the Z12 and Z13 are affected by exactly the same problem.
The nVidia video card is GT330M, which should support all sorts of things. But the most recent driver that works in this hybrid configuration (the way it is set up by Sony) is 190.xx, which presumably doesn't support this.
So PRE9 loads with an error message, but I can't see anything in the video preview, which makes editing a little difficult. It works fine in Sony Vegas though.
Sony Vaio with the auto-switching hybrid configurations are fairly common (they've sold well), and the Z11, Z12 and Z13 are a current and very powerful model (mine is Core-i7, 8GB RAM, SSD). It is a laptop that looks good, so appeals to graphic artists and video editors.
Adobe possibly needs to fix this rather quickly, because there are complaints all over the forums and I can see a lot of people dropping Adobe Premiere Elements in favour of the Sony Vegas product simply because they can't make it work. All it takes is the ability to switch OFF GPU processing! Alternatively support for this card.

Connecting a Sony DSR-11 (editing tape) to a Rampage III Extreme mobo

hi all. I have been editing on a Mac and have been connecting it and my editing tape - a Sony DSR-11, via Firewire 400. (The DSR-11 has a IEEE 1394 on the other end of the Firewire that goes into the computer.)
Now, building a PC, with a Rampage III Extreme mother board - I hope (to afford it), I am unsure about how to connect the DSR-11 since the mobo does NOT have Firewire ports.
Can anyone help?
Thanks sincerely.

If there is no on-board FW400, get a separate firewire card; any simple PCI card will do as long as you make sure that it has a TI chip.

Here is a post I assembled for another with a similar problem:
Unfortunately you got caught up in the minor miracle of Rosetta. Originally licensed by Apple when it migrated from the PowerPC CPU platform that it had used from the mid-1990's until the Intel CPU platform in 2006, Rosetta allowed Mac users to continue to use their library of PPC software transparently in emulation.
However, Apple's license to continue to use this technology expired with new releases of OS X commencing with Lion (and now Mountain Lion). While educational efforts have been made over the last 6 years, the fact is that Rosetta was SO successful that many users were caught unaware UNTIL they upgraded to Lion or Mountain Lion.
Workarounds:
1. If your Mac will support it, restore OS X Snow Leopard;
2. If your Mac will support it, partition your hard drive or add an external hard drive and install Snow Leopard into it and use the "dual-boot" method to choose between your PPC software or Lion/Mt. Lion;
3. Upgrade to an Intel compatible versions of your software, or find alternatives that will open your data files;
3. Install Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels:
[click on image to enlarge]
Full Snow Leopard installation instructions here:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1365439
NOTE: STEP ONE of the instructions must currently be completed on a Snow Leopard or Lion Mac and the resulting modified Snow Leopard.cdr install file can then be moved over to your Mountain Lion Mac for completion of the remaining steps.
NOTE 2: Computer games with complex, 3D or fast motion graphics make not work well or at all in virtualization.

Windows vista no longer supported?

when i try download a trial version of photoshop it says my system is no longer supported i run a windows vista 32 bit. is there no way around this? do i have to get a new computer to be able to use nphotoshop or upgrade my system?

GCordeaux Photoshop CC does not support Windows Vista. You can find the system requirements at System requirements | Photoshop. You may want to look at upgrading to Windows 7 or 8. If you do decide to purchase a new computer then I would recommend one with a 64-bit processor to help ensure you meet future system requirements.

I am unable to capture 16:9 footage shot on Sony DSR PD170 correctly.

It appears "stepped or skipped". The audio is in sync, but the picture looks as though a few frames are skipped. Sort of like the old "Max Headroom" tv show. I am using firewire cable directly from the camera to the computer. Recorded on miniDV tape - new.
My Capture Settings are:
Device control: Firewire NTSC
Capture Input: DV NTSC 48 kHz Anamorphic
Audio/Video Settings are:
Device Control Preset: Firewire NTSC
Video Playback: Apple Firewire NTSC (720x480)
Audio Playback: Firewire DV
I have FCP 7.0.3
OS X 10.5.8
Camera is Sony DSR PD170
I logged the footage without a picture or audio in FCP, used my camera's monitor. FCP was reading the TC in the Log and Capture window, and I was able to input In and Out points to log.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Russ,
Many, many thanks for sticking with me. I've finally got the footage to work. Checked it by shooting new 16:9 footage and inputting it as well. Have gone back to the original and discarded the iMovie stuff.
Believe my problem was in my settings when I changed these, everything worked: Under System Settings.> Playback Controls I changed RT to unlimited, Video Quality and Frame Rate to Dynamic, and Record to Full Quality, Frame offset is 4. (I don't know what the frame offset is.)
Under User Preferences> Render Control Render and Resolution are now 100%, Codec is same as sequence codec, Quality is Best, and I've checked always use best quality when rendering
Sorry, I don't know what the settings were before I began, just know that I changed some of them to these. Thanks again.
