Matching to a Varicam- the settings do not transfer directly camera to camera.
However it is far easier to set your Varicam to match the HVX that it is matching the other way. Know that it captures content is the same codec and compression, and working with the content between 2 cameras, when properly matched to each other, is quite easy.

Since Friday is a slow night on the cow and there is some really good reading here. I want to remind everyone
there is a vast amount of info buried here in the COW Archives covering the multiple settings, setups and user articles on the HVX200. Doing a search in this forum will provide you a vast wealth of information regarding the camera setup and ideas for the workflow, and maybe even offer you some ideas that you may not have been thinking about.
