Need help with Sony Evi D100 / Dazzle set up
I got a Sony Evi D100 and the Dazzle since I read here on the forum that I would need it to convert analog to digital signal (not that I really know what that means exactly).
I connected the camera to the dazzle through an S-video cable and the Dazzle to my PC.
The Dazzle shows up in the Pinnacle Studio software source list but if I try and import the image from the camera by selecting the Dazzle, nothing shows up on the software screen.
Also, the Dazzle shows up on the image source list of the Encoder but if I select the Dazzle as source, I get an error message and no image shows up.
I must be missing something or doing something wrong.
Does anyway know how to set these up correctly or what can be wrong with the way I am doing it?

found this googling!!
"And be sure to flip the little switch on the bottom to D30 emulation mode!"

dazzle is not compatible with that type of camera.

Thanks Mzstar and minnie!
It is an expensive camera, but I did get mine on Ebay and didn't pay full price. It was still $370 with shipping, but that is better than the average $800 asked for it in most places.
But, Minnie, the Dazzle is not compatible with the D100? I read here and in other websites that I would need the Dazzle to use this camera as a webcam.
Mzstar, that is the thread I had read which said I would need the Dazzle to use the Evi D100. Also, I don't see any switch on the bottom of the camera saying "D30" and the Dazzle has no switches at all either.
The only switch I found on the camera is on the back of the base, and it is for "IR Select", to select 1, 2 or 3. I have no idea what that is either.
I have also looked up a lot on the net and I am still at a loss. If it is really not compatible, does anyone know what I have to get to convert the signal?
I am frustrated because I want to start using the camera, mainly for the remote control pan, zoom, and tilt, but I can't make it work.

The Dazzle is compatible. Can you email me with the dazzle model number you have and all the specs to your computer. Basically as much tech info as possible. Maybe even take a photo of the back where all your wires are connected.
Email me at [email protected]

Thanks, Bella.
I sent you an email.
A picture is a little difficult because it is a PC and it is hard to move the console to get a picture of the wires. But I sent you an email with some tech specs. I hope you can help.
