Live capture through the HDV iLink port. at DVinfo.net

I was able to capture both live video and video recorded to SXS media through the Firewire port into final cut pro. As long as it is SQ and not HQ. Unfortunately I have not been successful in getting anything to go the other way.

No, you can't record streaming av through firewire. It's the same with the larger camera. Material can only be written back in the XDCAM HD format as clip files in FAM mode.

good to know. I have in the past used firewire output on my Apple to a small MiniDv deck and then out to a monitor for color ref. in FCP. Unfortunately this camera won't past a signal through to the component output for monitoring.

"When an HDV-compatible video format (SP
1080/60i, SP 1080/50i, or SP 1080/24P) is
selected, you can record the same images as those
recorded on the memory card in this camcorder
on an external device connected to the
i.LINK(HDV) connector, or record the playback
picture of the external device on the memory card
in the camcorder.
Nonlinear editing conforming to the HDV format
is also enabled."

it also says that component / sdi are live during recording and playback if the iLink is off.

this is from the user manual. is it incorrect?
