NI PCI-1410 with Sony HR50 camera: External H Lock not working

[aliut]

I'm trying to use the PCI-1410 grabber with Sony HR50 camera in Asynchronous Reset mode (in MAX).The problem is that i cannot get the grabber to function in 'external h lock' mode. I keep getting the 0xBFF6001F error message (Cannot detect recognizable video source).

It will only work with 'standard' operation mode; resulting in incorrect image quality.

Could you help me, please?

The configuration I use is the following:

IMAQ1410 - imaq6822breakout box - DC-700 camera adaptor - sony HR50 camera

The trigger is provided directly to the camera by a DAQ6221 board;

Video0, HD and VD signals are provided to the grabberfrom the camera;

DIP switches are all off (except for no. 8); HD/VD - internal.

Hi,

Have a look at the links below about error BFF6001F “Cannot detect recognizable video source”:

What Can I Do If I See Error BFF6001F "Cannot detect recognizable video source"?

Error BFF6001F With Sony XC-HR70 and PCI-1410

Detect if Video Signal Lost with a PXI/PCI-1409

acquisition gives error 0xBFF6001F

Follow the steps on the first KB, and let us know if the problem persists.

Hopfully this helps,

Hi.

I seem to be having the same problem with my Sony XC-EI50 camera.  I describe it below

Hi.

I seem to be having the same problem with my Sony XC-EI50 camera.  I'm using the 1410 card and am trying to externally trigger it to grab one frame (using FPGA, which isn't really relevant here).  I have the DC-700 camera adaptor, so the trigger signal is connected to the TRIG BNC input.  The camera's DIP switches are configured so that only the 7th and 8th switches are ON, while the others are OFF.  The Video 1 Output is connected to the framegrabber, and the image is acquired via channel 1.

The camera's grab and snap features are working perfectly in MAX, but I can't seem to use the Sony XC-EI50 icd file, which might be causing the problem.  I get an error message when trying to load it, so I use the RS-170 file instead.

Attached is a simple .vi I wrote just to get the camera to work.  I run it and send a trigger before the "get buffer vi" times out.  I then get a "Error -1074397153 occurred at IMAQ Get Buffer.vi 

Possible reason(s):

NI-IMAQ:  Cannot detect recognizable video source.

Possible reason(s): NI-IMAQ:  Cannot detect recognizable video source" message.

I would love to get your opinion on this.

Thank you.
