  XH-A1 compatibility

  Posted by Paul Parker on April 11, 2009 at 4:19 pm

  Can anyone provide real world feedback on using this cam successfully with FCP and OSX. Canon’s requirements are elusive, and there are lots of net posts about FCP not recognizing the 1080f 24 HD capture device.

  I have a Dual 2 PowerPc
  OSX 10.4.11
  FCP 5.0.1 (
  3GB
  2 drives, unstriped

  I will build a box around what works like a charm for this cam, if anyone has one that hasn’t given them grief!

  I don’t have specs for the best system to handle this footage.

  Only problem I’ve had with 24f footage is capturing it. You have to capture it using the camera or another canon 24f capable hdv camera.(like the H1) no other camera will do it.

  The specs you sent should be fine.

  Hope that helps some.

  …or a Sony M35 deck.
