Canon XLH1 HDV control issues with Final Cut

[Shane Ross]

I wonder if it’s the adapter…not passing through SOME information. Have you been able to capture all 3-4 channels via Firewire to firewire?

No only the first 2 channels.

The weird thing is, the sound plays in the camera during the capture. But once I play the MPEG the sound from Channel 3 end 4 is not their.

Also in CS5 I can’t seem to change the audio setting from 48000Hz to 32000Hz. I think that’s the problem. Just not sure how to fix it.
My FCP 6.0.6 keeps crashing now so I can’t capture anymore via FCP

I recalled something about not being able to capture all 4 channels of audio at once via firewire. That you’d have to do a two pass capture…second time only capturing the second “stereo pair.” HOW to do that? I don’t know…that was 10 years ago. I found this forum thread, but it deals with older premiere pro:

So yeah, I think that firewire only does 2 audio channels at the same time, and to get all 4 you need a capture card…or you need to capture it twice, telling the software to get the OTHER two channels the next time.

DV audio is 48Khz…32kHz will make it go off sync. And I don’t know how to capture with Premiere..you’ll have to post in that forum.

Thanks I will ask in that forum and read the post.

Hi Christophe

If I remember correct: DV audio is 48kHz with two channels. If you recorded 4 channels it was 32 kHz

[Christophe De backer]

That’s what I thought. And I think that’s the problem. Even if the sound settings of the project are set to 32 kHz in the capture modus I can’t set it to 32 kHz. And the problem now is that my Final Cut doesn’t recognise the camera any more.

Why did I have to go analog in a digital world 🙂
