So I've got a new iMac. You know, the one's with one friggin' firewire port? I got a G drive to go with it, and while I was able to Log and Transfer using a four pin to nine pin cable piggy backing my HVX to the G Drive (from P2), I've got some tape that I need to capture, and it just isn't happening. I'm using an old Canon ZR60 for a deck, and I've got the 4 to 9 cable connected to the G Drive, but when I try Log and Capture it doesn't recognize the device and it disconnects the G Drive. Incidentally, when I turn the camera off, the G drive mounts again. I'm totally at a loss. Help.
New wrinkle. The HVX works fine for log and capture - though I really prefer not to use it as a deck. the Canon is giving me the problems. Seems like I just used it not too long ago to capture some footage from tape on my old iMac. Could it be that the camera and 4 to 9 pin aren't compatible?
