Thanks for the write up, the Blackhawk IEEE1394 Digital Camera has been added to the list in the Fuel IP35 Hardware Aggregator .

Cool, thank you. I'm pretty sure (99.9%) that this is an iRez Stealthfire so that guy could probably go itno the Approved category too. Found a couple photos, they look identical.

But the helpful part is, I actually discovered a step you missed :P Me, too, but when I did < man iidc > it came up with this :

Run the mlquery -d first to get the correct device name (most likely going to be iidc-camera but never hurts to make sure) then

and mlquery will get all the device's advertised capabilities :D Trial and error is more my style but this is pretty handy ...

Today arrived a firewire capable of reaching my AJA loLA & loLD so I was able to start my video in testing. I presumed the AJA would output a stream of video, but had to get over the bridge of it being recognized first. I also connected a Panasic Mini DV camera.

I shutdown the machine, connected it all up and all seemed good.

Code: Select all

OK So far so good, I then compiled all the dmedia tools. To run though I needed the location.. so mlquery -d all

Code: Select all

fuel01 36# mlquery -d all

DEVICE: nullXcode
parent: fuel01.
index: 0
version: 1.0
location: Software Null Xcode Device
xcodes: nullXcodeMemoryToMemoryCopy,
nullXcodeMemoryClear

Nothing.. OK so, I could sort of see why the AJA may have a problem, but the MiniDV ?

I have restarted mldaemon a few times times, plus a complete shutdown when I change device.

Any ideas?

[Edit] running mlquery on its own indicates it no installed devices

mlquery on my Octane2 shows
xt-digvid:1
nullXcode:0

Whereas on the Fuel just shows nullXcode.

I have installed 6.5.21_dmediapro_dm10_1.0.1 (DMediaPro DM10 Execution Environment 1.0.1 for IRIX) is there a later version?

You probably need the DMedia 1.1 beta drivers, see rec's post here: viewtopic.php?f=14&t=16724415#p7333432

The Matsushita camera should work, at least.

Nice one Mr Classic, I missed that snippet and thought I was indeed installing the latest..

So I have better news, it is indeed picking up something (I'm guessing at the moment it's the Panasonic/Matsushita).

That would be my guess. If you go back earlier in the thread, you can see where I capture .dv (I called it MTS at the time but rec found it it was a regular DV stream) off my ADVC-300 and that should work for your camera. If that works, you've joined the FireWire club. :)
