6 live video inputs. What hardware?

[Ianp]

Hi Richard,

Thanks for the update. I have now tried the following

1. remove incorrect drivers and re-install those provided by yourself.
2. remove the card and reinstalled.
3. alternative settings for the bus.
4. remove the additional graphics card and the internal usb card.
5. try all three spare slots.
6. try the above with both 97 and 111 versions. What I have noted is that even if I re-install 97, the first of the four video screens is titled "DV Video - ADVC-110" which I suspect is remaining from my tesp with the Canopus unit.
7. A Canopus ADVC110 unit works with both 97 and 110.

Any further idea's other than the issue with AS card. I have attached the latest PDF.

Thanks

ian

i have no idea.

quite a few people have got it working even last week.
noone in the last few weeks has reported anything like this.


---

Im awaiting a reply from Active silicon about error message.
the card driver reports an error message in the log

LFG 1 Error LFG_DRV_Open status 1f030002 - message Open call to CDA library failed***

I dont expect a reply before monday.

As a last resort you might like to try installing all the updates that apple made last week.

Richard,

Thanks again, I have installed the apple files without success. I have also re-installed all the Catalyst sw along with the drivers for the card, again without succes.

I have noticed that there appear to be two versions of the card driver, 2.0 and 2-1.0, I have installed the latest.

Looks like the answer ies with AS, possibly a faulty card???

Thanks and have a good weekend.

Ian

you have to unistall completely LFG Vdig drivers and reinstall the
drivers reiceved from Richard.

Uninstalling the Video Driver (VDIG)
You will need to know the root/Administrator password to perform a driver uninstall.
1. Open up a terminal window from a 'Finder' window:
Run '/Applications/Utilities/Terminal'.
2. Type the following commands exactly as shown:
sudo rm -rf /Library/QuickTime/lfgvdigx.component
sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/cdapci.kext
sudo rm -rf "/Library/Documentation/Active Silicon"
exit
3. Then close the terminal window, shutdown and restart the computer.

your error probability is ref. a different library cdapci.kext for not INTEL MAC.
