No timecode. No machine control. No audio and no video.
System: Intel i7 960. 24gigs 3-channel ram running Win 7 64bit Advanced. Fresh install on new hardware and hard drive. System built around CS5.5. Premiere has listing for the Sony DSR-11 but is unable to talk to my deck. For the record, there are no errors posted in Admin startup logs for either Win 7 or CS5.5.
Software: All three Firewire drivers resident in Win 7 have been tried. Repeatedly. OHCI, Legacy and Texas Instruments versions. Computer rebooted prior to every attempt to get a connection. With power to the DSR-11 both On and Off prior to each attempt. I have the latest drivers for the motherboard installed. I have all the updates available for Win 7 installed. I have the latest drivers and updates for CS5.5 installed.
About the DSR-11. Deck works perfectly in my old XP Pro 32bit system connected via standard 4 pin firewire jack resident on my AMD Athlon MB with 8gigs of dual channel ram. I am using official Sony 4 pin cables (I have two-both work fine)
Regardless of the drive installed on the Win 7 system, I get a tone acknowledging my DSR-11 being powered up and powered off but nothing else. The DSR-11 shows up under 'Devices and Printers' only as a 'AV/C Tape Recorder/Player' and does not show up as 'Connected' in CS5.5 at all. Only as 'Device is Offline'
I've read that I am not alone regarding issues with Win 7 and Firewire. Please advise. I really need this deck to work on the new editor. Thanks in advance for your help.
