Submitted Question:
I am using VC3. I would like to use multiple cameras but my pc is only recogizing one firewire camera. I have three separate firewire cards on the pc, one for each camera. Device manager shows only one at a time. All three cameras and cards appear to work, but not simultaneously. Any thoughts? I am running Windows XP. Thanks!
You did the right thing by installing 3 separate firewire PCI cards, so each camera has it's own. Be sure that you've powered each one on in record mode (not playback mode) so Windows XP sees them all. On my XP machines, you can go into the "My Computer" explorer window and see each camera listed. Then I launch VC3 kowing that windows sees each camera.
Once inside of VC3, go to the setup tab--Video and choose each camera from the drop down menu. I'm thinking that's what you need to configure next based on what you wrote...let us know by submitting comments below...
