  • XL-H1 using a Multibridge Eclipse

    We know that the XL-H1 does not have embeded audio in its HD-SDI port, but if you capture using the multibridge eclipse using the cameras SDI port and also use the cameras balanced XLR outputs to the eclipse can you link up the audio in Preimer Pro?

    I am researching getting a new XL-H1 and eclipse for a new editing suite and just trying to figure out if this could work.

    Further more could you use a canon HV-20 and its HDMI output to capture the audio and video using the eclipse?

    Any feed back would be great. Thank You

    Hi Micah,

    Inputting SDI video and XLR audio into the Multibridge Eclipse is no problem. The settings menu for the Eclipse allows you to select whether you want to use the embedded audio or analog audio, on both SDI and HDMI. This then becomes the audio source that Premiere Pro will use for capture.
