This link will explain color temperature
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_temperature
You didn’t mention what your product is giong to be for??>And if the color correction work is being done on a monitor of different color temperature to that of the audience, I’d be interested to know why?< If your product is for consumer consumption like DVD use a decent tv that can be calibrated with a pluge pattern for color correction via component or HDMI, if your product is for Broadcast/cable use a good brodcast monitor(expensive), to get video out for viewing you ca use a product like BlackMagic Design's Intensity or IntensityPro, or a Matrox MX02, relatively inexpensive, trying to view a computer overlay on a tv monitor could result in iffy results

HC9s are ok, I have a older version, a HC7, which I use as a remote cam, the only drawback with the HCs is the shoe, its a bit smaller than the average shoe so only Sony or acessories made for it will fit, what I do if I want a external mic and or a lamp is use a Bescor VB-50 bracket to mount a mic plus the bracket also helps to stablize hand holding the cam.

Both cams have a mic input with a mini stereo jack and manual vol, you probably could run low levels into them, they both work with self-powered condenser mics which are usually low-imp.
One thing with the cams is that they use different formats to record with the HC9 is HDV and the HF200 is AVCHD(mp4) which can choke the average computer, if you are going to try to mix them you might want to look at a intermediate codec like Cineform to color correct and cut them, Cineform’s NeoScene is only about a C-note you can download a demo and try it -
What they are implying is the bandwidth capabilities deteriorate the longer the cable, 1080p is a much higher bandwidth than 1080i

I never tried the cat5 extenders, I use a 50′ cable and I know someone who uses a 75′ with no problems, I don’t know about the 100′ but the Co. below has a 100′ which they claim shouldn’t be a problem.

Usually the max length with high quality cable is 100′, longer runs like 150′ have built-in digital Signal Boosters

Even if you have Vista 64 and 8-16gigs of ram, Ppro is still a 32bit app and has a memory allocation limit of 2 gigs, on a 32bit system there is more of a chance of that 2gigs being stepped on because of the 4gig system limit particularly if there is a high memory video card sucking up a gig or more of the 4gig allocation and a bloated(untuned) OS contributing also
Out of memory messages are not necessarily all caused by Ram, they can involve disk memory and virtual memory settings. -
>I plugged the laptop into my Full HD Bravia via a VGA cable and saw the same terrible quality in the final AVI.< You will get the same result as on the desktop display, using the VGA option is just using the Bravia as another computer display, if your laptop has a HDTV out like component or HDMI and you use a player it would improve

The Nehalem-series cores are very close, the first dual i7 mobos are about to hit the market, the difference between consummer and server/workstation mobos is the chipset, X58 for the single consummer, and 5000 series for the xeon/i7 duals, also the dual i7 boards will support cheaper ram, see link below for a ASUS dual i7
