  • GPS option and the HDX900. Work flow question.

    Posted by Ray Palmer on September 19, 2007 at 4:01 pm

    My question is about Work Flow.
    I have-
    -the HDX900 camera.
    -the GPS module attached.
    -Panasonic 1400 deck for playback.
    -FCP for editing.

    I understand that the GPS information is imbedded in the meta-data. How do I extract it and can I either burn it on the video or at least marry it to the video for use at a later date during playback?

    There are three types of people in this world, those that can count and those that can’t.

    I have no input, but I’m glad you brought this up. What is the GPS feature useful for?

    Wynn,
    We have used a different GPS unit with Standard Definition.
    Example. We do a lot of aerial video from a helicopter of the desert around Phoenix, Arizona. The GPS tells us
    -where we were when we shot the video.
    -when we shot the video. Date and military time.
    -our heading and elevation and sometimes speed.
    We can then take the GPS signal and match it with a map program using a laptop such as Street Atlas, and we get a graphic of where we shot the video.
    This all comes in handy with Legal issues.

    The HDX and SDX900 puts the GPS information in the meta data. I just need to know how to extract the information.

    I expect a reply from Panasonic next week. I have been told that they are researching a work flow white paper.
