    No Signal With EX1R On MacPro With OL CS4

    ouiareborg Community Member

      Shooting 1080P24PN. Have tried hdv/dvcam, and disable options in iLink, in menu. Hooked up a Sony handycam in 2 seconds, so figured it's the EX1R. First time trying the EX1R with OL. Any help is appreciated.

          Well, after checking all settings, and further research, it appears to only work in SD....a tad lame.

            And that's one of the reasons we did CS5--to add support for XDCAM-EX and AVCHD.

            As for 24PN, I'm not sure exactly what that means in Sony-speak. With Panasonic DVCPRO cameras, it means that the unused frames are skipped altogether rather than simply flagged as unused and, by extension, the two native video streams are not transmitted out via FireWire (because the native stream deviates from the standard). Not being as familiar with Sony XDCAM-EX cameras, I can't guarantee that you'll be able work with native video in OL CS5--if you can't, please bear in mind that any lameness rests on the camera's side of the equation, not the software's.
