If i remember correctly from reading the manual, you can audio dub and insert 2 more tracks (most likely a voice over and soundtrack - I'm guessing this is for ENG use) on camera after your shoot. There is also a balance to adjust mix between channels 1/2 and 3/4. When i capture through firewire... there is an option for audio: dv channels 1/2 or dv channels 3/4.

It is on page 85-88 of the manual. The connection is via the XLR or the RCA connectors with the usual routing.
It is a bit involved the first time. You have to use the menu system to set it up. If you use the XLR inputs, then you can adjust levels. Balance the channel 1 & 2 sound against the channel 3 & 4 sound in the Menu under Audio Mix. Several restrictions: Must be a DVCam tape, not a DV tape. Video must be present on the tape where the dubbed sound will be placed. XLR connectors have precidence over the RCA connectors Cannot have an iLink cable hooked up. |
Is it true 4 channel?
|
I'm not certain what you mean by the word, 'true.' It is represented as 4 separate channels but I have not tested it as 32 bit, dub recording has no interest for me.
Anyone? |
I mean when you import it into a NLE does it show up as two or four channels?
Or does the camera mix them and then export them as two? I have never imported a tape with four channels from a DV tape as of yet that’s why the question…Sorry |
On my NLE (canopus), one has to select which pair of channels to import. 1/2 or 3/4. Cannot get all 4 at a time.
I think it shows up as a second stereo audio track but I've not tried it. |
Just wondering how is a mic such as the ME66
attached to the 150? Can it be put in the holder that is used for the mic that comes with the cam? |
I switched my 150's to the CAC-12 holder which moves the microphone away from the camera body by another inch or so.
I just wrap my skinny microphones with a bit of gaffer tape or several rubber bands. Seems to work very well. I suppose rubber sheeting would be more elegant but the temp fixes are easily removed. I did remove the rubber sheet (the one that looks like very shallow U-channel from the Sony microphone and used it too. |
