3. Connect the QuickStream DV to the FireWire port of your DV camcorder
with the 4 to 6 pin FireWire cable you plan to use for your shoots.
4. Turn your camcorder on and, a few moments later, turn your QuickStream
DV on by pressing and releasing the “Power” button.
5. The QuickStream DV will synchonize with your camcorder’s DV signal and
the “Power” button will become a solid green. Notice that the “Disk
Activity” LED at the other end of the QuickStream DV will be a solid blue.
6. Hit the “Start/Rec” button on your camera to begin taping. Verify that the
Red “Record” LED on the QuickStream DV lights solid and that the Blue
“Activity” LED maintains a steady or slightly blinking violet color. This
indicates that the drive is writing video data.
7. Hit the “Start/Rec” button again on your DV camcorder to stop and verify
that the red “Record” LED of the QuickStream DV is off and that the “Disk
Activity” LED has resumed a solid blue color.
8. Perform steps 5 and 6 a few more times and verify that the QuickStream
DV is responding to every start and stop command by your camera.
9. Now test the recording function of the QuickStream DV itself by hitting just
the “Record” button on the QuickStream DV.
10. The “Record” button should stay solid and the “Disk Activity” LED should
be a steady or slightly blinking violet color as before during the recording
function.
11. Hit the “Record” button of the QuickStream DV again and verify that the
red “Record” LED is off and the “Disk Activity” LED has resumed a solid
blue color.
12. Now switch your camcorder to “VCR/VTR” mode and wait for the
QuickStream DV to re-synchronize itself with your camera’s FireWire
signal and for the “Power” button to turn solid green.
13. Hit the “Review” button on the QuickStream DV and the last clip recorded
will be played on the LCD of your DV camcorder.
14. Now connect the QuickStream DV to your computer system and run MCE
StreamManager or go directly into the Movie and then Media folder on the
QuickStream DV and verify that the clips you shot are present and that
they are in the format you prefer for your editing software.
If any of these steps give inconsistent results, the first recommendation is to try
again, but this time using a different 4 pin to 6 pin FireWire cable as some cables
can be more susceptible to interference than others. If the results do not improve
by replacing the cable then check our web site at
