Can someone enlighten me how the ports on firewire card function? |
| 2 |
I have only one device that is using firewire (DV Camera) so I can test |
| 3 |
only on single port. |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
I installed the ieee1394 card, it has two 6-pin ports and one 4-pin |
| 6 |
port. |
| 7 |
I have connected the Digital Camera to one of the 6-pin ports and I |
| 8 |
couldn't make it to work with "kino", but I tryed the second port and it |
| 9 |
worked. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
I was under impression that ieee1394 cards would work the same as |
| 12 |
USB-ports; regardless which port I plug my device into it will just |
| 13 |
work, not so with ieee1394 cards. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
How do I control (if at all) which port I need to plug the device into |
| 16 |
and how are they numbered? |
| 17 |
I have "coldplug" installed, so I think the ports are initialized |
| 18 |
automatically and the second port will not be initialized unless |
| 19 |
something is plugged into port number "0" (first one), am I correct? In |
| 20 |
other words, Is there a special order I need to plug the devices into |
| 21 |
ieee1394 card? |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
In "kino" under settings there is IEEE1394 "tab" and has an option |
| 24 |
"raw1394 interface" option that is set to "0" I've tried setting it to |
| 25 |
"1" but it didn't work. |
