SD-Connect Help

Edward wrote on 7/1/2005, 8:22 PM

I went for it, and made my company pick up the SD-Connect (along with a dual Xeon PCIe, and a flat screen sony NTSC monitor... woo hoo). I'm anxious for the stand alone ap to PTT 10 & 8 bit files.
I got everything hooked up, but I'm getting no video feed from SD-Connect. I can control the BSP deck fine, but no vid feed. (component, 1394-422 control method).
Capture
Vid src: Component

Playback
Vid src: 1394

I'm going nuts here, and got deadlines to meet (or is it the other way around...) Spot, farss, anyone please help!

Have you gone into the menu and set what sort of output you'd like? It would appear you have, based on the playback setting.
Do you get vid feed from the composite?

yep. did an update on the SD also. still no feed. now my computer won't recognize the SD. i think it's a computer issue. i went thru reboots, still no read. i get the bells as if were connecting, but they sound like the first hit three times (connect: dong ding; disconnect: ding dong; what i get: dong, dong, dong real fast... hmmm... that looks weird when it's typed out...) thanx for the response.

We've got 2 x SD Connects, maybe I can help.
Firstly what version software is the box running?
Just do a Get Latest.
As SPOT said you need to select the direction. The 'direction' is relative to the 1394 port so if you want to capture into your PC via firewire then you need to be in Capture, duh. But you've no idea how many that confuses.
Also and this can be a trick, once you've got the direction around the irght way you might need to unplug and plug in the 1394 cable to kick it into life. The SD box's LCD window shouldn't be saying there's no 1394 connection.
