What deck are compatiable with HDV cameras

[Donald Berube]

FYI, the new Canon HV10 consumer HDV camcorder will playback 24F footage originally captured with an XL H1 or XH A1/ G1 camcorder. The HV10 cannot record 24F footage, however it can playback 24F footage via FireWire.

Hope this helps,

So, are you saying use the HV10 as a deck?
Does it support the full range of formats and timecode from the other cameras?

I was hoping for something like the Sony decks that playback HDV as well as DVCam and MiniDV.
In fact I hoping that the Canon tapes would playback in the Sony decks.

I know that the manufactures are running off in separate directions with HDV. I sometimes think the manufacturing groups that are supposedly setting up guidelines to improve new products are just saying we’ll play nice but we’re not playing with you; the consumer is still left with VHS/Betamax.

It will definitely play HDV 1080i, HDV 1080-24F, and DV. I’m not sure about others. I have the H1, XL2 and the HV10. We’ve used the HDV10 for about 50 hours of loading the past 2 weeks…works great. It’s the ONLY choice for a deck right now that supports 24F. Why that is is incredible! I can’t tell you how LAME it is that Canon didn’t work with other companies to make this happen. It’s been nearly a year and still no deck support…crazy.

I know the HV10 can be used as a playback deck, but can you use it as a record deck?

[Donald Berube]

Gregg,

The HV10 can be used as a record deck as long as you are inputting 60i DV or 60i HDV over FireWire or inputting Analog NTSC Composite Video via the Analog Input Adaptor cable. The Component interface is an output only, active only during playback.

Let me know if you have any other questions about this,
