In camera downconvert - need it explained
What does it do exactly? Does it re-record over your footage with SD? Or does it just export to computer SD from the HD footage?
My situation. I filmed in HD and want to extract a few clips for testing. I do not have the ability to edit HD yet. I can only edit SD. Is this how I would go about it? I don't want to destroy my HD footage so I can use it later as HD. |
Downconvert simply transmits an SD signal through the FireWire from the HD source. No harm done to your original footage.
|
Where in the manual is how to use this? Is it as simple as turning the function on?
|
Yes, basically. It will depend of the camera of course but it should be that simple.

In VCR Mode go to Menu - Signal Setup- HD DOWN-CONW. To change only without Firewire Cable. If set on ON - you can capture all as SD.

"To change only without Firewire Cable"
I was a little confused by that line. You can only change it before plugging in the firewire? |
That's right. You need to disconnect the FireWire cable before making this and other menu changes.

Uh... ok, that's a weird question, isn't it. It's just that I don't recall seeing any comparative reviews of downconverted HD from the various HD cams. |

I'm currently editing a job in Vegas 8 pro which I recorded in HD on an A1. It was downconverted in-camera as described. The quality is better than I can get from my Sony TRV 900. Now, that's saying something!
