Thanks for you input, Ty. I actually did see that message, along with some regarding the Casio.
Tried buying the manual online from two different suppliers, one of which stated all their products were in English, the other stated Dutch (albeit that fact was in small print)
Turns out both were in Dutch, and Spanish, and French – all combined into one .PDF
I am just going to have to play with this thing I think.

I told you I would let you know how the little converter (HDMI to composite) box worked out….it does its job fairly well, some degradation in picture quality is to be expected. The you tube image I am producing videos for is perfectly acceptable for what it is…..and a 4;3 aspect ration fits into a cell phone screen more efficiently that 16:9. I am using the s-video outputs on my other 2 cameras, which are a little bit better. I am still trolling around for an old 32 bit windows laptop so I can run MX Navi….its the drivers that are holding me up for that. all in good time. Thanks again for your assistance. Pete. (Toronto)

that’s a good point….I don’t at this point I expect to be using the sdis much, but the 3 d card looks like it could be fun. My work in tv has been story editing and field producing, so I haven’t touched a switcher in 25 years. Learning to walk again. I’ll you know how my cheapie converter works out

I am expecting Amazon delivery on an HDMI to composite converter in two days. 16 bucks tax in. Reviews are a little mixed as some guys claim theirs didn’t work out of the box. We’ll just have to see. It claims to accept signals ranging from 1920 by 1080 down to NTSC 640 by 480. Hopefully that will sync with my T7!. I got this MX 70 for $125 Canadian (that’s like 85 US) in great shape as a surplus government unit with both the optional boards installed in it. (3d and the SDIs) so I just want to milk it for what it can do in the man cave. Between this thing, my drums, and my project recording setup – its hard to even walk down there. Stay tuned for divorce proceedings.

the t7 will go down to 640 by 480. this setting stabilizes the image, but the image splits the screen into two identical images with a vertical black stripe running up the middle, like I am halfway through a transition (which I am not) My component converter however will only go down to 720 by 480….this could be my problem. glad I only paid 30 bucks for it. will composite go to 720 by 480? I am setting up a basic 3 camera system for my you tube channel, and I find 720 with decent light looks quite good!

thanks for your input. funny thing is, I can run s video from an old cam corder, and composite video from a Canon XL-1 with no problems. I will make sure my DSLR is set to the appropriate resolution for starters.

I am trying to feed component video to my old MX 70 from a late-model DSLR canon camera.
Its a Canon 800d (T7I) and I am tapping the HDMI output of the camera and using a converter to output component.
The picture is breaking up after going through the MX 70. It works fine when plugged strait into my television though.
This could be a setup issue on my part, but I am curious to know if there is some reason HDMI to component is a typical problem for you folks.
any ideas appreciated

I just realized my old PC is 64 bit. Someone mentioned the available MX-Navi driver is for 32 bit only. If true, I was unaware of this, and please accept my apologies for bothering you.

Hello Sir. Greetings from Toronto!
You have been very patient with us Panasonic MX-70 owners. I recently got a surplus unit and also need a driver for Windows 7 professional software. I didn’t want to bother you, but I have run out of search ideas. Any help is greatly appreciated.
