Sony DSR-60 Question
I purchased a Sony DSR-60 player back in about 1999 or 2000. I was part of the first generation of Mini-DV players and recorders that Sony released.
At the time I used it to view and log time code from shoot tapes. The deck was also used to load video into an AVID system. At the time I was using an editing service to work at. Now I am editing at my place and I would like to use it to input video. However, I believe that the output of the DSR -60 is not a digital signal but an analog signal. I think the AVID system would digitize the signal as it was being stored on the hard drive(s). Can anybody confirm this for me? Did Sony ever make a digital output card for this player that would allow it to output a digital signal? My current editing setup is a Dell Workstation running the latest version of Sony Vegas Movie Maker. |
IIRC, I don't THINK that the DSR-60 has native Firewire out.
It had a OPTIONAL board to provide digital out via SDI. And even if it has one of those included, you'd need a SDI/DV bridge product. And all of those I know about run $1500 plus. Check Markertek under SDI Firewire. So Sorry, but I don't think you're going to be able to use this as a NLE feeder unless you throw more money at it or can find used versions of the bridge products you need. |
