Sony GV-HD700 HDV video Walkman gets US release date and price

Now you don't have to shelve the substantial amount for a HVR M series VTR for a decent (although it won't make Custom TCs) HDV machine. |
awesome...I want 7 lol.

Great a monitor and a back up all in one. Plus a capture deck.
|
So we can just mount this baby up on the camera and use it for focusing HD? If so this is very interesting - a hell of a lot cheaper than a Marshall too (assuming the lcd is comparable)
|
Big question.
Will it play back 24p or 24f 1080i from other sources like the Canon XH series, or is it primarily only possible for proper playback for Z1U style cameras?
I forget if Canon encodes 24f only, or it adds extra frames in. |
Anyone seen the original press release? I cannot find the press release at Sony-USA web-site.

Here's the info directly from Sony:
http://news.sel.sony.com/en/image_li...asset_id=30998 http://news.sel.sony.com/documents/c...HD700Specs.pdf Interestingly, it comes from Sony's consumer division instead of pro. The published spec of 1152k pixel screen resolution would imply 800x480 (in three colors) which is comparable to the other 7" LCD's on the market. That's pretty cool, like getting a free deck and firewire along with your external LCD screen. The multiple screen profiles are also interesting. FYI, we prefer that you don't publish links to news stories on other sites. Try to use actual links from the manufacturers; Google easily found the two links above. |
And yet another HD deck with no HD component or HDMI inputs.
I think is a very important feature that is missing from the HD world unless you want to jump up to a $10,000.00 deck. With a HDMI input you could edit HDV in realtime in your NLE and output live via HDMI right into the deck to record to a HD tape. No rendering needed. I realize not everybody would want to go back to HDV tape but I'm sure some would and even more would do it if they had the ability to do so for a quick HD backup. I can understand the lack of component inputs since people could use the deck to record HD broadcasts but why not HDMI? |

In most NLE's the power is already there for RT HD editing. Add a cheap card and you can output that RT performance out of a component, SDI or HDMI port. It is the same concept as a DV deck being able to record an analog feed onto a DV tape. In this case the deck converts the analog video into DV video on the fly. We should also have HDV decks that do this which would make backing up masters very easy and fast. This would also give a quick solution for those who need to quickly edit and output a project to give to a client right away. |
B&H is accepting orders. Also, Sony web-site shows September 14 for availability date.
