I just use a DSR11 (there’s no preset TC setting) and don’t have any requirements what program start time is, for what I do… I just have my sequence start with black at 00;00;00;00 and actual program start at 30 secs. Record 30 secs of black on the DSR11, then using digital cut (record deck time) have the in point set to 20 secs and have the in point of my sequence start at 20 secs. It’s frame accurate enough for my purposes and many times it’s dead on but never more than a frame or two off. For client review, no one is going to ask “Can you shave a frame or two off this shot @ so&so timecode”? 😀 It’s either delete a scene or rearrange something, and this way works well for me.

A better alternative is to have your transitions stay within the boundaries of the stabilized rendered clip (treat it as it’s a clip with no handles at the head or tail). In other words, say you originally want 20 frame dissolves at the head & tail of the stabilized clip… at the head have it start at the cut & at the tail have it end at the cut. Which is what you would have to do with an exported & re-imported QT file anyway, because there wouldn’t be any handles to work with.

I doubt anything simple like a “reset” will revive circuitry that’s possibly been fried.

I don’t know where you’re looking on B&H’s site, but I just did a search there and the XHA1s is in stock.

The only thing is, the A1 doesn’t have S out… as lame as that sounds :-\

It’s in the encoding you do this, NOT DVDLabPro (or any authoring program, as far as I know). Whatever encoder you’re using you have to set the 16×9 flag. I typically export an anamorphic QT Ref file from Avid then import that into the encoder flag it as 16×9 material.

I don’t have a solution for you other than a service center trip, but for now you could just use an inexpensive dv camcorder as a source feeder for your NLE

The setting you refer to has nothing to do with video. That setting is for the stills function saved to the SD card. Possibly you’re getting noise because either you have AGC on, or have your manual gain setting at anything other than 0dB or -3dB.

I don’t have a definitive answer for you, but the av/dv bit shouldn’t have anything to do with capture unless you’re using the HV30 as a transcode device (running audio & video from another source via composite into the HV30, for example) into the HV30 to transcode to a dv signal. In other words, if you’re capturing via firewire, that setting shouldn’t make any difference.

Maybe I’m not following you, but the “Kelvin” preset is for dialing in a kelvin temperature by pressing the white balance button, then the indicator on the LCD flashes… at this point you use the scroll wheel to dial in whatever temp you want. The camera isn’t “reading” anything. It’s basically taking what you give it. From your description it sounds like one camera was set for 3200 and the other 3700, therefore the difference.
