    Canon XH-A1s not detected by Adobe OnLocation CS5

      Hi All,

       

      I recently purchased the Canon XH-A1s HDV Camcorder.

       

      I've hooked the camera up the my 2011 MacBook Pro (8GB RAM, Quad Core i7 Processor) and am wanting to use Adobe OnLocation to record monitor footage as it is shot.

       

      However, when I open Adobe OnLocation the camera is not detected and I just get the standard "No Video Input Available".

       

      I've had a look at the Mac OS X System Profiler, under the FireWire section and the Camera is detected fine, so I know there isn't a problem with the FireWire 800 cable.

       

      My current steps are as follows:

       

      1. With camera turned off connect FireWire cable from the Camera to the MacBook Pro.
      2. Open Adobe OnLocation.
      3. Create a new project.
      4. Turn the camera on.

       

      Does anyone have any thoughts? Am I doing anything wrong/not doing something?

       

      All help is greatley appreciate.

       

      Thanks,

      Oliver
