Did anyone ever figure this one out? Our studio is having the same issue with our firewire equipment. Our HVX200/FS-100 combo mysteriously stopped working as well… then we noticed other items failing. It’s like a 1394 virus!
Testing on several NLE’s concludes that IEEE 1394 output has failed on the following equipment in our studio:
Panasonic HVX200
Sony HVR-M10U Deck
Sony DSR-11 deck
We also have a Sony HVR-Z1U and GV-D300 Deck… these still work, but we have no explanation for the others. Any ideas?
