HVX200: PAL or NTSC

[Karl Holt]

Sorry Andrew the HVX can only shoot SD DV25 to the DV tape.

720p must be shot to either the P2 card or an external device such as the upcoming firestore or cineporter.

Also if you want to shoot DVCPRO50 (SD but twice the colour resolution as DV) this also has to be stored onto P2 or ext device.

Just to clarify, the only thing you can shoot onto mini-dv is DV SD video, everything else is P2 or firewire device.

Hope this helps

[Andrew B.] “HVX can not shoot pregressive HD to DV tape? As i heard it can nicely store 720p directly to tape. If so, it is quite enough for us to start with HD.”

I don’t think the HVX can record anything but DV to tape. You’ll need p2 cards or some HD solution to record HD.

hmm… it looks quite expansive toy… how many P2 card comming in-box with HVX and what capacity? is it available now to by separately and for what price? Is firestore or any comatible firewire HDD solution available to buy right now?

thank you Karl, Graeme, Toke and Barry for your quick response and help.

Hi Graeme,

By speeding up the 24p file to 4%, how does that effect syncing audio?

Audio must be also sped up to retain sync. If you’re using cinema tools, it will also speed up the associated audio with the video. If not, you’ll need to speed up the audio separately.

Graeme!

Thanks for the swift response-
I plan to sync an audio file from Asia. (Uncertain of their audio frame rate)
But I am using an NTSC P2.

Will they sound like chipmunks if sped up, or will it all resolve in the final output?

[Graeme Nattress]

You may be able to hear the audio difference. If you do you can re-pitch the audio (not re-time, just re-pitch) which should be doable in decent audio editing software, or you can put the whole project back to 24p at the end.
