Shooting to multiple formats at once with HVX 200
I have one of those crazy situations where everybody needs a different format, all out of one camera, at the same time. I wonder if I can get the HVX200 to shoot simultaneously: DV25 standard def to the internal miniDV tape, and HD to P2 cards and/or a Firestore hard drive.
Bonus question: must they both be in the same aspect ratio, or can the SD DV25 tape be in 4:3 while the P2 and hard drive are recording in 16 by 9? My *guess* on the last question is “no”; that the HD is only 16:9 and forces everything else to be 16:9 so I’ll have to pick 16 X 9 for everything and protect the center-punch area for the 3 by 4 shot if I need that in the SD tape, then re-frame the SD tape in an offline edit.
Yes?
No?
Maybe? Any better idea? That doesn’t involve 2 cameras?:-)
Thanks for an answer, whatever you can suggest.
