M100 HD 11.5 and Sony HVR-M25U

[Floh Peters]

We use the HVR-M25E, which works fine. Not sure about the difference between the E and u models.

what are the video/audio connections to the m100?

are you using convergent design box to convert to hdsdi or does your Version of m100 allow for component in?

i am waiting for the sony hvr-1500 that i have had on order for quite a whi e now.
i am looking to upgrade to hd suite and as i understand it, the m100 has sdi/hdsdi in only.

can the hd suite accept firewire directly from the recorder for hd in? again i understand that m100 cannot work with hdv so do you have to convert it on the way in?

thanks.

I have version 11.5.1 and the Sony HVR M10 deck. I am taking the HDV footage from the deck via firewire into Convergent Design’s HD-Connect thence via SDI into Media 100 as uncompressed 1920 x 1080 HD. Seems to work fine but with the limited opportunities for HD product I then have to either conform to DV within Media 100 (a long job) or downconvert using an HDCAM deck (expensive). Let’s hope that HD DVD’s become standard very soon!
