All right – i guess this is the plan. I will do some more research into which particular camera I want and report back!

Thanks a lot once again!

Thanks a lot for your response – it would be super cool if I would be able to get away with not using genlock.

So “clear scan”, please correct me if I am wrong – it is a way to fine-tune shutter speeds and frame rates, right?
That sounds super useful to tune it to 59.94Hz (NTSC) – I am wondering though if torn frames (or shearing) could be a problem when the video is panning? Do I want to synchronize when the screen starts painting and the camera starts the capturing? Otherwise I could end up with an issue that the updates rates match but the bottom “half” and the top “half” of the screens are from two different frames? I guess I could try the capture multiple times and _hope_ that I am lucky and I hit the vertical blank interval – but that sounds like a frustrating experience.

This is theoretical obviously so I could be totally wrong – please let me know! ☺

Anyway, I did some research and even “clear scan” sounds like a dying feature – could not found any cameras on Sony’s site which do that.

Thanks again,
Norbert

ps: I found some Canon cameras which do have a genlock input – Canon XF105 and XF205 – none of them are 4k though. Can any of you good folks confirm that with a simple Y adapter I should be able to connect my video signal to both the genlock input and the CRT TV, press record and I am good?
