Crush FireWire adapter?

I have an older Canon camcorder that I would use to scan the old Mini DV tapes. The camcorder has a Firewire interface. Is there an adapter that will allow me to plugin/convert the plug in the picture below for love at first sight?

Here's a TB to FW adapter. If the other end of your cable is 9 pins, very well. Otherwise, you will need a9 pin cable 4 pin.

  • FireWire adapter card problem

    install an adapter card 3 ports firewire pci to capture images vdeo in my sony dv camcorder. When you try to capture or import video in movie maker and sony vegas 8 it detects no connection, but it says in the device management page is connected. Any solution please?

    Unfortunately it is all hardware problems - Yes, even when dealing with drivers from manufacturer of hardware (software) that allows the hardware to communicate with the operating system (OS) you have chosen to run.

    I would check that the firewire card manufacturer, you chose to use supports the device you have (by model) in the operating system you have (Windows Vista 32-bit or 64-bit?) and that you have installed the latest driver, they have available - see their web page.

    Ditto for your Sony camcorder.  Latest version of the Sony software.

  • Love at first sight for adapter Firewire under El Capital

    Hi there music pros

    Read a post saying that under El Capitan, you can no longer connect firewire devices, (such as Motu 828 Mk3 (firewire)) for new iMacs and El Capitan, using the Thunderbolt adapter Firewire apple, ' cos El Capitan does "not support firewire. This info seems inaccurate for me because the adapter must "adapt", but you never know.
    I intend to use my Motu 828 mk3 X consistently, work with the new iMac 5K, which is on the way, through the apple Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter cable.
    Can someone let me know if it is allowed to use the adapter or not?
    Thanks in advance
    Concerning

    I can't speak for the Motu. But I use the latest version of el capitan with a Presonus interface adapter and it works perfectly.

  • Satellite L500-1XZ - how to connect the port adapter or firewire?

    How to connect an adapter or a firewire port? The specifications of my laptop refer to two expansion slots (one for the configuration). Where they are and how to connect a firewire adapter?

    Thanx

    Hey Buddy,

    You can buy a PC Express card with firewire ports to connect your firewire devices. Ask your computer dealer preferred for this, they should be able to sell an expansion card.

    For example, I founded it:

  • Firewire connection is unstable?

    Screaming people, having a bit of a technical heehaw with my iMac and my M-Audio ProjectMix i/o and the thought that I could ask you all for more help.

    The M - Audio ProjectMix i/o is an a firewire audio interface and control surface, it is really good and has been working perfectly fine for some time, however, for a reason which I cannot yet understand it unplug spontaneously my iMac shortly after the start. I usually have enough time to open Ableton Live and define the ProjectMix as audio device, where I can get a minute or two to operate, then audio becomes clicks/POPs and then the iMac restarts. In some cases, the iMac restarts, but the ProjectMix disappears from the audio devices available in the preferences of Ableton (it disappears also the about this Mac > system report > Firewire) and is unusable for this purpose.

    Now, I discovered that the M-Audio drivers are not compatible with Yosemite and El Capitan, so I thought for sure that was the problem, then I followed a tutorial on how to make it work in El Capitan, but it's the same thing and my question has not reflect issues, other owners of ProjectMix had with El Capitan and they've all got to work using tutorial. However, I thought that the best thing to do would be to take the iMac to a State that was compatible with the M-Audio for the ProjectMix drivers, so I went back to the Mavericks, installed the drivers, open to Ableton Live, and it's the same thing.

    During this time I also tried using different firewire, resettlement of the different versions of Mac OS x cables, reset the SMC, reset PRAM, you know, all the usuals.

    I thought that if she is not the operating system and not on the firewire cable, one firewire port, so I bought a thunderbolt Apple firewire adapter to work around the Firewire port. I was hopeful when he connected, I even smiled, then, click on click on pop pop, the iMac restarted.

    So, here I am confuddled. I have not much to conclude except that it takes the ProjectMix himself, having said that, if it was the ProjectMix I don't expect the iMac to restart when it disconnects, this seems a bit over the top, unless something else happens that I don't take into account.

    I don't think that any of you all have any suggestions or advice?

    I have included my current characteristics and the latest report of crash after reboot (using the crush on firewire adapter). Y ' All thanks a lot for any help you can provide.

  • FireWire/s-video/component/HDMI for Mac 'nine '.

    I have a camera Sony HDV 1000U, which connect via Firewire, s-video, component and HDMI. My computer is a 21.5 late 2011 Mac. I have asked a few things.

    1. I am aware of the existence of a sudden lightning for ieee. It works by importing data from the camera to the computer? Or it works only as output (from a computer to another device).
    2. Is there such a thing as a device that converts Firewire/s-video/component/HDMI to a Mac?
    3. A capture card would work for the HDMI?

    You can use a bolt of lightning > Firewire adapter. I use one with two external hard drives and a DVD reader/writer. It works in two ways. You can also simply remove the SD card (if it uses one) and use a USB to plug into a Mac - card reader is my favorite way, because it is easier to deal with than to try to connect a camera. I know not all adapter that includes HDMI on a Mac.

    Hello

    You can also use an adapter USB to Firewire which allows you to connect device firewire to USB port of the laptop.
    USB 2.0 is 480 Mbps interface and FireWire is 400 Mbps but interface so, theoretically, USB 2.0 should be faster, but that's not true. Firewire is faster according to some tests. However, there aren't big differences, so I think that the use of this card must function.
    There are various one USB to Firewire adapter on the market. Simple Google.
