monitoring hvx footage

[Christopher S. johnson]

I dont think people are really hearing Jaser’s question. He’s not asking about HD monitoring via a an HD card. He’s talking about using the camera outputs for viewing a native DVCPRO HD timeline from the computer — like we do with DV firewire cameras today. Something HDV doesn’t even try to do.

I THINK I heard that was going to be the case, Jaser. But I would keep on asking the question and looking at Panasonic announcements. Its a good question to ask and, IMHO, a vastly under-discussed topic. Amazing, really. It could save a few thousand dollars for someone who wants only native DVCPRO HD and not uncompressed. It might even work with DVCPRO 50 timeline too, Let’s hope so.

I would think that firewire monitoring from the computer would have to work in all modes, 25, 50, HD. But it would be nice to have confirmation!

I you are wanting to use the camera as the intermediary in the system, just as we do now with a firewire deck, yes, of course it will work. The camera has a component analog output and so whatever you purchase for monitoring should be able to handle that.

Hope that helps,

Hi Jan, you mean Analog HD component output (the three BNC that I connect to the PVM L5/1 monitors) for HD monitoring in the field ?

that would be caviar for us digital pigs !!!!
