    capturing problems from camera

    Posted by Rick Mcleod on May 16, 2009 at 4:10 pm

    I am running out of time now, have the kit for 2 more weeks, JVC GY-HD251 connected with a 6pin-6pin firewire cable that I know works.

    I open up a project on Premier Pro, go to capture and it states:
    Can’t activate Recorder, Try resetting Camera

    Have done this numerous times, can anyone help?

    Sounds like you have a blown FireWire port, common in these jvc models.
    I know that can’t be what you want to hear but better to hear it sooner than later. Big problem with these cams is the support from jvc. If you have no other cams or decks to capture from then you’ll have to capture via hdsdi, component, composite. Good luck.
