  xl-h1 or xdcam ex

  Posted by Anonymous on December 20, 2007 at 2:35 am

  Hi all,

  i’m choosing netween the xl-h1 and the xdcam ex
  so far i have some conclusions
  xl-h1:
  +gen+tc in (for use with my lockit)
  i like the picture don’t like the hdv format slow rendering
  tape based
  sdi-out direct into hdextreme
  true 25 fps?
  easy cheap backup media

  xdcam ex
  no tc or lanc
  true 1920×1080 cmos
  under over crank
  true 25 fps?
  sdi-out direct into hdextreme
  fast transfer when used with a expressslot card but much slower with supplied usb2 card reader?
  no good backup methode?

  i think both have the hd-sdi out before the compression?

  what do you think?

  i like to do blue/green screen work using the hd-sdi out or on recorded material when in the field

  i have a 744t and a lockit so locking tc would be a big plus

  i think i will be using the proress hq 422 a lot for speed /storage sake would recording from the hd-sdi out from prerecoded material (hdv xl-h1 or the mpeg2 into mpeg4 container xdcam)

  if recording from the hd-sdi out from the xl-h1 tape would the tc still be in the file? kristian oonce told me i needed premiere pro for that (rp-168 protocol if i remeber)
  i.o.w. is the tc maintained in the sdi output? does fcp handel this tc information?

  also i just read about the hdv firewire to proress direct capture methode would this contain the tc

  thanks in advance for feedback

  cheers
