Hi Craig ,Hi All,

This is my first post.

I used to broadcast events with sony pd170 dvcam simply via firewire using windows media encoder. Now ,I purchased the sony EX1.

In short, can I connect the EX1 to my laptop(HP pavilion pv6t) through HDMI?or do I have to get capturing card with hdmi input?

If this works my next question is :If I use Ustream or wirecast – the virsion which support HDV – then what is the maximum quality I can record while streaming?

appreciated your support

Jamal
