Recording HDCAM onto PMWEX30
I have a SONY HDWD1800 HDCam recording deck and a SONY PMWEX30 deck. I am trying to dub a HDCam tape onto SXS media cards going HD-SDI out of the 1800 to the HD-SDI input on the EX30. Unfortunately, it is not working. Has anyone tried this before??
Thank you

Are you 100% positive that you are getting an output from your 1800 by running it through a monitor first?

Yes, we are running it through a 2K projector and we have image.
I just sent in my EX30 for a firmware upgrade which should be able to receive a 1080 23.98 signal through the HD SDI input. I am hoping that will do the trick.
Thanks for following up

Could be because that BNC on the back of the EX3 is HD-SDI OUTPUT not input.
EDIT: Sorry I thought you said EX3, now I see you said EX30. My mistake.

Once you have the firmware upgrade, you’ll have no problems… out of the box, it’s only 1080 59.94 in and out, regardless of the signal recorded…
I hadn’t tried this with our F900 yet, but I will now. I have tried this with our PDW700 and it worked great… when I tested the 700 and the 24 option, it never occurred to try this!
I do know that when I shot in 23.98 with a 650 HD Cam, it DID go into the EX30 fine, but output only at 59.94. I’m told by Sony the firmware upgrade solves those issues.
