Sorry for the basic questions …

Is the unit switched to “on” or “standby” when you try to access

(Is on actually I can ingest from a PC)

In the PC Utility, have you set Login to “Inhibit” to disable FAM (which doesn’t work on a mac anyway)

(it is we cando playback, stop and ingest using movie maker)

Did you setup the DV Audio Output Select to CH1/CH2
Yes
and the DV Out Audio Mode to 2ch (48kHz/16bit)
yes

In FCP have you tried using both “Firewire” and “Firewire Basic” for Device Control ?
Yes but none of them work FCP can not control or ingest media from the disk

is there any other thing we can do?

Cheers
Andy

I have a PDW-D1, and I need to connected it to I Macintosh in or der to
import media to FCP.

What I Have done so far.

Connect the drive to a Wintel PC run the software PC Utility, set the
equipment to AV/C mode.
After that we can connect the PDW-1 to Windows PC computer a check the
media using movie maker.

But when we connect the equipment to a Macintosh it recognize the PDW-D1
connected via Firewire, we setup the FCP to Firewire DV but it does not
control, nor import or visualize media from the drive (PDW)

Could you help us?

Could you let us know what we have to do?

Our Drive is a PDW D1, it does not have any swicth you only can setting it up using a PC utility that comes with it but it is just for windows and you only can setup the equipment while is connected to a windows PC
