Could some one give me the complete idiot’s guide to what this means. I didn’t know there were uncompressed consumer cams. Are they talking about recording direct to hard drive? Could I use this, for example, with a pd170? Or does the cam need HDMI output?
Thanks.

[eyecamiam] “Or does the cam need HDMI output?”
yes exactly.
HDMI is being touted as the prosumer version of HD-SDI.

But what prosumer cam captures uncompressed? Or does HDMI-out while recording by-pass the in-cam compression? That is captures direct to hard drive? You’d need a ton of very fast storage, no?

There’s a brand new sony cmos hdv camera that was just announced and it has the HDMI out.
I’m not sure if hdmi out live will bypass the compression.
On the storage I’m not sure either.

Hmmm. I remember reading some time ago about using analog (I think) out of a dv cam to record direct to hard drive uncompressed. I could be wrong or what I read could have been wrong. Does anyone know? It too required a card that could capture the analog out direct to disc. This required a SCSI array and took a lot of storage. It seems as storage gets cheaper the need for compression will fade. I wonder how long HDV will be around.
