Sorry Michael, your last post said you didn’t think you could get SD out of the camera at all so I chimed in with page 102. I believe the I-1394 port will only output HDV. To compare the quality to the SD component output to the I-1394 output is still apples and oranges tho, since the 1394 HDV is still an HD signal.

EX-1 manual. page 102. The component out/SDI can be set to out put a down-converted SD signal (including letter box or crop). I have tested via component cable to both DVCAM and BetaSP decks with no problem. No embedded audio. You must take that out the XLR’s.

Sony has a public showing of product scheduled for this Thursday here in Atlanta. Although the primary product shown is their new line of LCD monitors, the invitation says they will be showing the PDW-700 2/3 inch XDCAM HD and the PDW-HD 1500 XDCAM deck. I plan to attend so we shall see. Awfully disappointing that the camera will not switch to SD though.
