XDCam Import Problem

[David Issko]

Michael, You raise some interesting questions that I’m afraid I am personally unable to answer. This is because I have all the codecs (and so many others) installed in my computer, so I am unable to replicate your situation.

Further, I am wondering why you cannot capture 1920 x 1080 via the SDI output of your EX camera. It is certainly available from my EX3 and I’m certain it is from the EX1.

Do you not have SDI in to your Media 100? Just changing direction a little, I have my V1 HDV camera and I can output a 1920 x 1080 SDI image with embedded audio and timecode from my 1500 HDV recorder.

However, as you have found a (hopefully just) temporary work around, it may just be that the (unfair) law of the HD land deems it necessary to go with FCS and all its goodies (read codecs currently missing) so you can extract the very best from the awesome EX system.

Hope this helps
Regards

David, yes I have SDI in on my Media 100 but my version will not take embedded audio that the EX1 puts out in HQ mode. Furthermore I want to be able to select what I acquire into editing otherwise the drives would soon fill up. The new version will take HQ embedded I think.
