sr-dvm700 deck to Premiere connection problem
Hi All,
I am having a problem with connecting our JVC SR-DVM700 deck to Premiere Pro 2.0 with the firewire. The connection is inconsistant.
We have a wall mounted HD video camera that feeds into a down converter box (tvOne C2-1100) that feeds into our JVC deck through S-video. From the deck I go firewire into the laptop.
What I want to do is hook up the laptop to the JVC via firewire and capture live footage (real-time) straight into Premiere Pro without having to go to tape first.
When I hook it all up, I can see the live image feed from the deck inside of Premiere… but when I press record in the capture window, the JVC deck goes blank and Premiere won’t capture anything. But the really strange thing is that sometimes this works and sometimes it doesn’t.
I can capture footage from a tape with no problems.
Does anybody have any ideas on how to make this work consistantly?
Thank you so much for any input.
Regards,

I’ve been struggling with something similar and JVC in the UK were no help at all. However, I learned that a problem can occur on the DVM600 – avery similar model. A guy called Dave Walton at JVC USA posted a fix in November.
The problem occurs when the input for the HDD/DVD is set to DV while the DV deck is selected. To rectify this make sure that the input selection for the HDD/DVD is something other than DV (use F1 or L1) while you are using the DV for capture/export with an NLE. In certain circumstances this can cause 2 drivers to load simultaneously and then proper communication is not established via IEEE 1394. His advice was to reset the SR-DVM70/600/700 units by holding ‘stop’ and operating it for 3 seconds. This apparently resets all the microprocessors and the IEE1394 id.
I did this and also then disconnected both units from the mains for a few minutes. When I powered back up everything worked a treat. I hope it works for you!

I have a good signal on my Firewire from PremierePro CS3 timeline. Going into the DVM700 DV in, I see the 1394 PC displayed on my monitor connected to the 700 but it’s telling me that there is no signal when I know if fact that there is.
JVC in the USA is useless also. Guess I’ll know better when we uypgrade our equipment this year, JVC had a shot at selling us new cameras but they’re out of the running now.

Hello all CC crew,
My first post. I am new to this.
I know this one is an old post, but we have these machines still in our offices.
Any idea about this? At work, we have these machines, and a quick setup of a camera connected to the JVC was needed. It was half of the problem solved for the recording, but now we can’t get this to work from the HDD to the PC.
We have looked all over for clues. Does this mean we have to go back to transferring 2 days worth of videos onto mini DVs so that we can load them on the PC?
