*Troubleshooting*
If you are having issues with your PC connecting to the device, there are a few things you can try.
1. Ensure your PC has a Thunderbolt port (not just a USB-C/charging port). Visit the support page of your computer (support.dell.com, support.lenovo.com, etc) and verify that your drivers are up to date. Sometimes the Thunderbolt driver is separate and needs to be installed manually. Also check that your BIOS is up to date.
2. Check the settings in your BIOS as there may be a setting in there to allow data over the Thunderbolt port. Here is an example link that shows the settings: https://www.dell.com/support/article/en-us/sln305418/restructuring-of-usb-and-thunderbolt-settings-on-new-bios-version?lang=en There is also usually an app within Windows called the "Thunderbolt(TM) Software " and make sure it is set to "Always Allow" like this: https://www.caldigit.com/thunderbolt-3-devices-in-windows-10-platform/
3. If your device still does not communicate, then you may need to install a driver for the camcorder, audio interface, or whatever device you are trying to connect. If a driver can not be found, then your device may be too old and no longer compatible with newer operating systems like Windows 10. Here is a good webpage that may help you troubleshoot FireWire specific drivers: https://www.studio1productions.com/Articles/Firewire-1.htm Additionally if you installed a special FireWire driver you may want to uninstall it and try the built in Windows driver as that may be all you need.
4. For video cameras, here is a good guide from Sony which has a few other troubleshooting steps: https://www.sony.co.uk/electronics/support/camcorders-tape-camcorders/dcr-hc44e/articles/00235677
