I saw a Discovery HD episode on the Grand Canyon I think. Cameras were flying through the canyons and people exploring caves. I have shot in 1080i with my HVX and played it back on the same TV but it didn’t even compair to the footage that I was watching on the grand canyon.
Is the Main differance only the CCD’s since it is the same codec that the camera catures to?

That is intresting to know. I don’t think any of my work will be seen on that channel anytime soon 🙂

I read that document from the Discovery Channel. They hold the HVX-200 to the same ‘restrictions’ as the HDV format. I wonder why that is? HDV is 4:1:1 and MPEG 2 compressed and only 25 megabits. They do except DVCpro 100 but only 15% shot from this camera.
That’s a little odd. I wonder if it is because of the smaller CCD’s

Here is a good but long article. They did some tests and 1 of the tests ‘Cine Adaptors’ and they compaired 3 or 4 different ones. The $500 M2 was just as good or better then the $10,000 ones which was a supprise to the people testing it.
Here is the article. It is about half way down.

I’m sure the prices will drop when the 16 gig P2 cards come out. I can’t see 16 gig cards costing $2600. Or some 3rd party figuring it out and creating less expensive cards causing the over all price to drop.

Ouch, I don;t know what to tell you about the importing problem but as far as the long import to FCP, FCP needs to convert the MXF filse to QT since it can’t edit MXF’s this is a time consuming process since it needs to make a copy of it and sticks it in the Capture scratch folder on your scratch drive.
Also in the folders is the “LASTCLIP.TXT” in each of the folders?

Interesting, I will have to go easy on those now knowing they break. when I first got the camera I mentioned that it had a plasicy feel to it compaired to my PD100a. I looked at the tabs on my old cmaera and they were about the same size as the HVX but my old camera had a battery about 1/2 the size of the HVX’s
That looks like an area that will be hard to replace.

When you say larger battery do you mean the battery that comes with with the camera? Also when you say tabs are you reffering to the 4 tabs that are holding the battery in place, 2 upper and 2 lower?

So other companies might some day make PCMCIA cards for the HVX-200. I know alot goes into these cards and that is why they cost so much even though the price has dropped on the cards.
Good to know, thanks.

Ahh thanks, I thought it might have been broken. I think I like your idea since it was the one that I was thinking about. L/M/H
thanks,
