HV10, et al Firewire Capture
I have a few hours of HDV tape that I shot with a Canon XH-A1 that I would like to re-capture in HD. I sold the camera in 2007, so I must find another route.
I think I remember reading in these forums, that some were using the HV10/20/30/40 cameras as a playback deck for capture so as not to add to the hours on the higher end cameras. I am considering buying a good used HV30 to capture this footage with and also for occasional amateur shooting. Am I thinking correctly here? Appreciate other capture suggestions as well. |

Actually, most HDV cameras with tape capture capability will likely work. In the early days of digital tape we said it was wise to stick to same brand and/or model of camera for capture purposes, but as things developed, assuming the camera had firewire out, you could usually capture okay across Sony, Canon, and other platforms. I have a SonyFX1 that I shot, and captured footage through my HV30. I actually initially had the HV20, and it died on me, and I bought the HV30 in beautiful condition through someone on this site for about $350.00. It hasn't been used at all because of my 5D and VG20 purchases. Though I have been curious about how it might capture to a Black Magic Shuttle 2 I am buying, I might consider letting it go for same price I bought it if you have any interest.
