I’ve managed to get capture PAL from my NTSC PD-150.
How? A bit of a work-around.
1. Easy settings – PAL DV
2. Open log & capture window.
3. Play DV Pal tape for a few seconds (L &C Screen says “no preview available)
4. Stop tape.
5. Clost L & C window (Apple-8)
6. Remove FW cable from camera.
7. Put FW cable back into camera.
8. Open L & C window.
9. L & C then should see the PAL signal.
10. Capture as normal.
If the above doesn’t work, I try different variations of the above – opening and closing the L&C window, replacing the camera, etc – but after a few attempts I’m usually able to get PAL (and even PAL DVCAM) on my NTSC PD-150.
I hope this helps.
