  Sony DSR-11 not initializing to FCP 7

  Posted by Paul Meyer on September 9, 2010 at 5:44 pm

  Hello,
  My attempting to record some old sequences to a Sony DSR-11 deck.
  Unfortunately the deck will not initialize. Attempted various firewire settings, firewire 400 & 800 cords, and various firewire ports on computer. In the Apple / About / More Info window, the computer verifies the deck, but not sure why FCP will not.

  Any suggestions?

  Thanks in advance.

  Sincerely, Paul

  Are you using the DV Easy Setup?

  Uhh… unable to find the “DV Easy Setup” setting. Just using DV. Is this still listed on 7? Thank YOU.

  IN the FINAL CUT PRO menu, you click on EASY SETUP. Then you choose the DV/NTSC Easy Setup. That is how you tell FCP to expect a DV signal…

  Thanks for replying to my questions. I learned today that the Firewire port on the DSR-11 is faulty. Hence, FCP will not communicate to the deck.

  Thanks again for responding so quickly.

  Sincerely,
  Paul
