Sony DFW-V500 Recognition on a Mac

I am new to processing and have what seems to be a simple problem. I am running a 2010 iMac with OS X 10.6.7 and Processing 1.5.1. The Sony DFW-V500 connects using a Firewire 400 cable and I am using a FireWire 800 to 400 adapter.
When connected, the camera's status indicator lights up green - meaning it is idle. I am not able to select this camera in any of the system preferences, or even in iChat or photobooth. The built in camera comes on every time.
I assumed the following lines of code would provide me with the solution, but this was not the case.
import processing.video.*;
Capture cam;
void setup() {
size(640, 480);
String[] devices = Capture.list();
cam = new Capture(this, 320, 220, devices[1]);
println(devices);
}
void draw() {
if (cam.available() == true) {
cam.read();
image(cam, 160, 100);
}
}
The list of devices reads:
[0] "DV Video"
[1] "IIDC FireWire Video" (This should be it)
[2] "USB Video Class Video"
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!
