Direct to disc recording with FX1

[John Rofrano]

I’m using a Sony HVR-DR60 with my Sony Z1U and yes, I record to tape simultaneously as a safety. The Z1 also doesn’t allow remote LANC control without a tape in the transport so even if I didn’t want to, I still have to use a tape when I want to use the LANC. 🙁

Hi
Actually I use and prefer the nNovia system over the FS, especially for field work. With my DSR-250 I have to also have a tape in the camera (also my backup as JR says). My VX2000 will record direct but via the composite connections. To go FW it also needs a tape.

However I am considering this new Panasonic AG-HPX170 wich is a P2 camera and tapeless. So then I’d have 2 sets of digital files.
