Appreciate the reply, Tom.
Unfortunately, I do not have a DVCAM back only 2 DV backs and 1 Betacam SP back. I do not have a DSR1 back. I think I may get a VHS back since I primarily shoot with VHS anyways on my other cameras and already have an effective way to get footage onto PC.
I was looking into getting the video off in other ways. One way I found was to buy one such adapter (BNC to RCA, https://www.amazon.com/RiteAV-BNC-Male-Female-Adapter/dp/B000V1R97U) and just use a capture card on my PC (or something like EasyCap). Do you think this would affect quality?
As far as composite video, as you mentioned, I am not entirely sure what this is. I was born in 93′, studied computer science and neglected technology before my time… until now. Please elaborate on “AJA” and “Blackmagic” – – are they cables or systems, docks or converters? I’m totally confused, thanks.
