Dear Jeff and John,
I read with interest your thoughts about using the HDX-900 camera as a playback device for loading NLE.
And I was surprise to find this “feature” in Panasonic’s page about the camera!
Built-in IEEE 1394 digital output helps lower the cost of HD production by allowing you to directly transfer HD video to nonlinear editing systems or other VTRs
Found on page:
https://catalog2.panasonic.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ModelDetail?displayTab=O&storeId=11201&catalogId=13051&itemId=97602&catGroupId=14616&modelNo=AJ-HDX900&surfModel=AJ-HDX900
Sort of sounds like Panasonic is supporting this use!
Best wishes,
