Wow…I never had these problems with my old DVC AG30 cameras. I am running on AC and the mic is an XLR into the camera, then from the camera via firewire to my laptop.
yes, I meant 480i :). Since the presentation is in the middle of the frame, the cycling occurs over the entire frame, not just the presentation. I played with the Syncro Scan and the shutter speed but I will give it another try.
