  Capture Problem

  Posted by Jonathan Hudson on May 7, 2007 at 5:55 pm

  i recently posted about problems capturing footage from my Gy-hdu110 camera from a BR-HD50 deck. i was told to get a firmware upgrade and told that this is a well known problem. i got a firmware update for the BR-HD50 deck and it didn’t solve the problem. i recently found that the Black Magic Intensity card captures from the BR-HD50 into final cut, will this solve the capture problem?

  i am using:
  JVC GY-HDU110 camera
  BR-HD50 deck
  final cut 5.1.4
  mac os10.4.9

  Hi,

  It sounds as though your problem is related to capturing from the camera or deck via Firewire. Is that correct?

  If so, Intensity should help you as it bypasses Firewire and uses the HDMI output of the deck to capture uncompressed video to a Mac Pro. We have a support note about HDMI capture from the JVC BR-HD50U deck which should be of some help.

  The BR-HD50U deck provides an RS-422 device control port so you can use this instead of Firewire for controlling the deck. The support note details how this is done.

  I hope this helps.
