Hi Xeeb –
have you ever used the Canon XL-H1 camera – ever use the Console software program ?
How long of a firewire cable can you run from the camera to the computer? How many cameras
can you control from one computer?Thanks –

this is what you are going to do. You are going to buy a HP xw8200 to run this card. It will come with native LSI Logic dual SCSI controller. You are going to buy a Sonnet X4P SATA host card, and put it into slot 4. You will buy a Sonnet Fusion 500P, and stick your SATA drives in there. When you want SCSI later, you will buy a HUGE U320RX SCSI array, which will do uncompressed HD.
If you want to “home brew” this stuff to save money, look for help somewhere else. Everything I told you here works perfectly, and will run beautifully with the Xena card, and all of your applications.

My money is on Arnie – just becuase they use PCI Express does not mean that the cards will work – certainly not without firmware updates at least.

and remember – don’t plug ANYTHING ELSE EVER AGAIN into your firewire port. This means NO FIREWIRE 400 DRIVES while you are using the AJA I/O.

AVID recommends using the HP L2335 for all AVID Nitris systems. Electronic Arts (the video game people) bought 150 Dell 2405FPW. The Apple Cinema was the first, but to me, they are the bottom of the barrel right now. I am sure that plenty of people on this forum will disagree with me. AJA usually recommends the Sony SDM-P234b or the Apple Cinema display.

Winston –
your MAC G5 has two firewire port – on the front, and on the back. Take the SAME FIREWIRE CABLE, and move it to the front firewire port – do you have the same problems ? If it’s now fixed, it’s the MAC G5. If you have the same problems, it’s the AJA I/O. Everyone else has given you correct advice – call AJA, and get a new box (if it’s not your MAC G5).It is VERY COMMON for the MAC G5 firewire ports to “get loose” or go bad. Same with HP xw8200 computers.

nope – you need the Kona LSe. And if you have a storage card, like an ATTO UL3D or UL4D, it won’t work either – you need the UL5D. Every manufacturer was affected by this. But don’t worry – the new MAC’s will be out soon, and everything will get outdated again.

if someone will give me a phone # or contact name of the Canon product manager, I will be happy to call him, and ask this question for you.

I have a great suggestion. Buy a professional VTR, like a DSR-1800, a DSR-2000, or a used DSR-80. The DSR-11 is a piece of crap, and has caused grief like you are having, to everyone that has ever owned it. This same grief is currently happening with the Sony HDV HVRM series, and we all await for a professional HDV VTR to come out, and stop this nonsense.
