Have you used a different FireWire cord? Also, make sure nothing else is using your FireWire bus before you plug it in.
IE, boot your computer with the GX plugged in.

Hi all,
I know it's been a while and I hope there is still some one here who can assist.
I just purchased a new Point Grey Grasshopper Express camera, firewire version to use with Astro IIDC. Plugged it in and was recognized in Astro IIDC with a lot more options than my old DMK 31 cam. Now here's the issue, I get about 1 second of live video before it freezes. If I change shutter speed or frame rate I get another second of video before freezing again. Seems like it loads and reads from a buffer then stops.
I've checked numerous settings but maybe I missed something. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Phil
