The topic title is probably a bit confusing, but I couldn't think of anything better to title it. So here is the situation:
I have a M-Audio FireWire 410 audio interface and I use a Canon ZR800 miniDV camcorder to capture video as well as use it as a medium for an external monitor (a CRT television).
A problem has irritated me for a very long time and I've finally decided to ask if the problem is fixable. So now, here is the problem:
The interface and the camcorder will not function when plugged in at the same time. That is, I must choose to either have audio out of my interface or use my camera to capture or preview footage on a television. I can never run both at the same time, which is very frustrating.
Further symptoms:
- Running both at the same time results in videos that won't play
- The camera never receives the video signal regardless
- Audio ceases to play
At that point, I can't merely disconnect the camcorder. I have to restart, which also becomes harder to do.
I am hoping there is some type of setting I can do to remedy this dilemma. My external hard drive runs off FireWire, as well, and it never has a problem with either of them. Any and all advice is greatly appreciated!
