Waiting for Timecode…Device must be in VTR mode when Device Control is enabled.
Hi there,
My computer is:
Mac OS 10.5.6
DUAL 2 GHz PowerPC G5
6 GB DDR2 SDRAMGraphics Card: GEForce 6600LE
Running: Final Cut Pro 5.1.4
Camera: Sony HVR-Z1U
I’m connecting my Z1U through a 400 FireWire port on the front of my Mac. I run Final Cut, get the Log and Capture window up. My Capture Settings are “FireWire NTSC” and “DV NTSC 48 kHz”. I can control the camera from Final Cut, BUT there is no image in the preview window (Preview Disabled). When I click “Capture Now”, I see a black screen, then the error message “Waiting for Timecode. Device must be in VTR mode when Device Control is enabled.”
I have recently switched editing suites and recently reinstalled Final Cut and new this new/used computer.
All help would be greatly appreciated…thanks.

Do you have an external device, like a Canopus, connected via FireWire 400 as well?
If you do, try disconnecting it and see what happens.
