  • A Play-Back Deck for Sony & Cannon mini HDV?

    Posted by Blake Porter on October 10, 2008 at 8:38 pm

    Hi,
    I’ll be editing a show from Sony Z1u footage and Cannon A1 footage. Both shot in HDV. Do I need a deck that is compatible with both tapes?
    (I’ll be down converting from HDV to SD from deck to hard-drives)
    Thanks

    The Canon footage will work in Sony decks if you shoot 60i. The other frame rates won’t work.

    Have a wonderful day.

    According to this thread:

    The Sony M35 deck will play back the progressive Canon HDV footage.

    Hi,
    The Sony GVH-D700 will do this. I use it with a Canon HV 30 and Sony A1u and downconvert it to SD capturing with fcp.

    Pete,

    Are you sure this deck can read Canon A1 30F footage?

    Have a wonderful day.
