Yes Glenn, the QuickCapture family of digital video recorders works with the Panasonic DVX100. In fact we used that camera last year for our booth demos at NAB 2003.
Our proprietary DVR technology, the "Stream Storage Processor" (or "SSP-100") accepts any video signal in its native format and stores it with bit-for-bit accuracy. We do not have any difficulties storing some troublesome digital video formats (such as 16 x 9) or those requiring the tweaking of frame rates found in cameras such as the DVX100.
The reason is this: The architectural approach of the SSP-100 does not entail the user having to "dial in" a video source format - prior to recording. We feel its simply too inflexible. Instead, the QuickCapture DVR's accept any digital video signal in thier native format on input, then after acquisition the user can select which "edit-ready" video format he wants to output to his NLE. The only caveat to this architecture is that the user must select whether he is on a Mac or PC-based platform prior to recording.
In principle, the SSP-100 can accept anything from regular digital signal (timed) such as DV25 to irregular digital signal (un-timed) such as MPEG. In fact, the technology can even be used to support high-bandwidth DV50 applications very few other companies can even contemplate pursuing with their HDD-based DVR solutions. The SSP-100 is extremely versatile and highly reliable. There are a lot of exciting developments on the horizon centered upon our patent pending core technologies.
I guess this was a bit more than you asked for Glenn, but I thought this explanation may help you and others to better understand why QuickCapture is not camcorder limited. In fact, QuickCapture A2D takes this flexibility to an even higher level, allowing videographers to use both digital and analog video sources in the same "edit-ready" fashion of our digital models of QuickCapture. We are pretty pleased with the results thus far.
