HD1000u love story project

Our latest work with the HD1000u...a guy at the wedding commented after he saw our cameras that he use to own one but switched to a Canon HV30 because the quality of the HD1000u footage is not all that good.. i told him to wait until they play this during the reception and let me know what he thinks.. after seeing it he said that can't be the same camera...i assured him it is....

Hi,

Can this camera output s-video and composite (RCA) at the same time?

Thanks

The manual states on page 90:
This product cannot record onto Magicgate technology.

Yet, it seems the only memory sticks available have the MG technologu

Issues with HDMI out while recording

Bryan Daugherty — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 05:07:40 GMT

I have 2 HD1000u cameras and in the past have been pleased using component out while monitoring on my Ikan V8000HD. Now that I have the second camera, I have been trying to decide on a monitor for the other camera. I experimented using the HDMI out to my computer monitor an Acer H213H using the HDMI in. For playback, the results were good, but when in record mode the image was grainy, pixelated, and the colors were off. I guessed that this was because I was using a computer monitor so this weekend I ordered an Ikan V17 17" LCD monitor from B&H and was less than pleased with the results. Again, playback looks great but when recording live, the image was dark, the colors were off and there was loss of detail. Needless to say, I was less than thrilled but rather than giving up, I tried using the component out on the camera and WOW it was as good as it looks on playback.

I have read on here of a few people using intensity cards to record off the HDMI stream from the camera and I am sure that someone has used the HDMI for monitoring and I am starting to wonder if I am setting something up wrong. Since this is a $1000 monitor, I am seriously considering a return but before I do, I thought I would brainstorm with you fine folk and make sure I am not just missing something in the set-up. Any thoughts?
