communications failure with DSR 30
Wayne Grauel
October 11, 2005 at 2:17 pmHI, I’m having communications failures with a sony DSR30, my my 380L camera works fine and it picks up a sony video device (with large DV plug)
the dsr30 has a small dv plug and I’m using a pinnecle DV card.when i plug the dsr 30 in windows starts searching for tv tuners and heavens knows what, put it never comes up as a sony vcr/camera,
Any clues…
picture looks fine but could there still be a problem with the machine that it’s delivering video to a monitor and some head problem that would make the DVout not acceptable.
i have nad a dirty head issue with this machine after running a roll of miniDV which i try not to use if i can help it.
I’m all ears on this oune!

October 11, 2005 at 3:48 pmTwo things to look at:
1> Your Pinnacle card may be an unreliable way to get your DV in/out. Try a separate OHCI compliant firewire card.
1> There are known issues with the Sony DSR-30 / DHR-1000 and XP Service Pack 2, which messes with the firewire throughput. You may have to use Service Pack 1 instead.
