1200a question
I just rented a 1200 deck to digtize some footage for a client. We are coming out of the SD SDI and I’d like to see the footage in letterbox mode. The manual that came with the deck is pretty obscure for me and the rental people won’t be in until Mon. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also which would be a better way to go about digitzing to DV format for offlining? Use the SDI or firewire and convert?
Thanks -

Menu Item 620, position 0001: letterbox (page 43 manual)
Edit firewire HD 720 24p…. Don’t bother with DV, not worth it. Stay HD.

One more question, if I edit in HD how’s the downconvert to mpeg2 for
a DVD? -
[Vince Sanchez] “One more question, if I edit in HD how’s the downconvert to mpeg2 for
