I am trying to digitize analog video from
my: 3/4" SONY U-matic machine to:
my "Late 2012 iMac" using:
10.13.6 OS
using a Canopus ADVC110 Digitizer
(I have iMovie 10.1.12 and also FCPX 10.4.5)
in the past I have used this configuration to digitize analog video from VHS and DV cameras (instead of the U-matic machine) with the same digitizer and the same Applications but I don't remember how I did it.
Can anyone help?
The ADVC-110 has Firewire out; you need Firewire input on your Mac. The Late 2012 iMac does not have FW but it does have 2 Thunderbolt ports. You could use an Apple Thunderbolt to FireWire Adapter and an appropriate FW cable to connect - if I recall correctly the ADVC has a 4-pin female FW connector and the Adapter has a 9-pin female FW connector.
BTW, I do not believe the uMatic deck has either S-video (preferred) out or composite video out to connect to the Canopus box. Converting the uMatic video out to S-video or composite is another challenge. Here's a link to a report on how someone else went about capturing from a uMatic deck -> https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/400071-U-Matic-capture-project That person used a DPS-210 transcoder to get an S-video signal to feed his capture board. All this gear is very old, so you will need to search for used equipment.

Not sure on the particulars of that equipment, but what stymied me was that I had to Hit Play...
