XL-1 project help
I'm working on a project using some hi-8 footage.
I'd like to do two things, simultaneoulsy if at all possible. 1. Transfer the hi-8 footage to mini-Dv (using an XL-1) 2. Transfer the footage to VHS with time code burned on the screen At my disposal are: - a sony hi-8 camera - my XL-1 - VCR - TV Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. |
I get "CHECK DV INPUT" as an error whenever trying to record on the XL-1 (VCR mode with Hi-8 signal coming via S-video and 2 RCAs for audio). Do I not have something set up right? Can you not "transfer" this way???
Thanks for your help |
There will be no time code on Hi8 of course. It is not digital.
Best way to digitize Hi8 is to play it through a Sony Digital 8 camera. It should send it to your capure souce with TC-- whether it be your XL1 or your computer system. How your XL1 will pass through video to a VHS recorder, I don't know.. It may require aeparate transfer. |
So the XL-1 is not capable of "recording" from an analog source?
I would have thought it would have been able to convert/record - in much the same way it takes the real world (true analog) and records it. hmmm... It was hard enough tracking down a hi-8 camera. |
Recording from analog input was added with the XL1s, it is not possible with the XL1.
