Are you sure that they don’t run on 110-240v?
I don’t own one, but the specs say they have Universal Power supplies, as most computer stuff does, which usually means 110-240 (or 120-230, etc) and 50-60hz. Look on the power supply, if it says 50-60 hz all you need to buy is a plug adapter so you can plug it in.
I work in Ireland a lot (I’m even an Irish citizen- not that it makes me an Irish
electricity expert!) and I use all my U.S. gear there.

When I bought my Hd-110 I noticed right away that that included mic weighs about as much as a butterfly. I’ve never had an initial judgement of a mic based on its weight before, but when I listened to it I immediately replaced it with a good quality mic. So, my only advice is, the mic sucks, replace it.

Chris,
I’m sitting in a hotel in Guadalajara Mexico waiting to start my day on a shoot,
so I may be off a bit on my advice without FCP in front of me, but I’ll try:
Apply the 3way CC, select the Auto Balance Color eye dropper on the white
wheel. Choose a pure white in an unaffected clip, then go to an affected clip and select an area that should be pure white. Click there and it should match the other white. If it all happened in one scene you can copy and apply the CC to all the affected clips. If it happened over a number of scenes, do the same thing over again on each clip.
Sometimes, depending on the shift, it can help to extend the adjacent clips, using the shift
as the center point of a dissolve to help blend the clips better. It doesn’t always help, but worth a try.
HTH,
Ed

This is from the JVC site:

Uncompressed 720p/60 live output via component
When required, the GY-HD200 can output a live uncompressed 720p/60 signal in the form of analog component signal, making it an excellent choice as a video server feed.

Thanks! You’d think with us being video/film people and all, we could prove that we laughed by providing a youtube link of us actually doing it. We could use a web cam, unless, of course it’s a ROTFLOL; the cam wouldn’t see it. 🙂

Sorry, maybe I jumped the gun, or maybe the post shouldn’t have read “Immediate Attention”. Maybe it could have said “DVC Pro 50 Problem That Needs Attention Tomorrow, Around Nineish Would Be Good” 🙂

I disagree, don’t use the de-interlace filter in Compressor. It’s their old de-interlaacer that
they included for non-critical stuff. Use Advanced Format Conversion. It’s in the Apple presets, Advanced Format Conversions. Select the right format and edit it. In Frame Controls, select Resize Filter-Best, Output Fileds-Progressive, Deinterlace-Best, and Rate Conversion-Best. The result is much much better than the regular de-interlace filter.

[Arniepix] “when you run your interlaced footage through compressor, you can deinterlace it using the filters tab. The deinterlacing filter has an option for blurring or blending the fields together, I’ve found that it works pretty well.”

Thanks Ken,
I bought an NVA100Kit that B&H Photo says is a JVC product, but it may
actually be IDX. Either way, the bracket mounts on back and plugs into the HD-110
battery socket, and converts the 12-14 volts to 7.2. It also has a D-tap that outputs 12-14v for lights etc.

I love it when people flag their posts as “Help! Need help right now!”, but then when they
get responses they don’t acknowledge them. “Needs Immediate Attention”, yeah right.

Thanks Jerry,
In my case, the reason I’m interested is that I’ll be starting to shoot all progressive next week (a JVC HD-200) in HDV. I guess that makes the gamma/color issue the big one.
