Great idea. I can ask the IDX folks, because my IDX adapter also has a powertap connection. Would be easy to make a XLR to D connector cable. Agree with you that bricks work great. Can power the XL-H1 all day and the weight really helps counter balance what is otherwise a very heavy front end camera! Thanks for the suggestion, Jim

I have not tried 30F, but I have 24F working perfectly. I am editing native HDV. What I discovered is that the FS-C sets itself to the format it first detects. So if you shoot 60i and then try to shoot 24F, the second clip is corrupted. If you shut the FS-C down and restart it to shoot 24F your fine.

Thanks for the help. I have a Panasonic LH1700. The settings in the Kona Control Panel are presently set to very simple settings. Every thing is 525 SD, no up or down conversion, Color Bars out, Composite+Y/C. I understand that SDI will only work when connected to the SDI input and the green analog line is connected to the analog (composite) video input. I have also tried this in Component mode with all three analog lines connected to the appropriate component inputs on the monitor.
I unistalled the Kona software and reinstalled it. I am not sure why this should make a difference (or if it did), but I now have a composite signal that I can detect, both in a straight pass through of 525 and in a down conversion from 1080. I still only have a signal on SDI-1. With the SDI-1 line connected to the SDI-1 input on the monitor, I have a signal. If I swap out the SDI-1 output for SDI-2 (connected to the SDI-1 input on the monitor), I have no signal. I have not tested this from within FCP, but I am making progress. I have always found the Kona setup pretty intuitive. I ran the conflict checker and it does not show any. You may be correct; this may be a bad cable.

Thanks, I have the signal down converted to a 525 signal. But, it seems that only my SDI-1 is hot. I can switch the SDI-1 and SDI-2 lines to my monitor and it says there is no signal from SDI-2? I also can not get an composite or component analog signal when I hook the analog line(s) up to the component or composite inputs on my monitor (which are setup for SD display). Not sure what is going on here, as I have never used any output except the SDI-1 before? Jim

I had a Powerbook G4 that would not mount the hard drive. When I went to boot, the computer would not be able to find the OS. I took it to the Apple Store and they ultimately determined that it was a bad motherboard and replced it free of charge (I had Apple Care). I doubt this had anything to do with use; just a defective MB.

Thanks, these comments are helpful. I have used the Canon Xl-1s and hate the servo lens control. So, I understand the issues raised about focus. The P2 issue also is a concern and I am not sure how the exchange of P2 cards might be disruptive in the field. I was thinking that a Firestore or similar solution would be better, but I understand that you can not record 24P to the FS-100 at this time. The suggestion to rent one is a very good idea. Great suggestion!

How happy are you with the images you get from the HVX200?

I too would love to hear if there is an option besides rendering?
