These are the features listed from the JVC website (below) for the HD110. I'm unsure about this *HD output 1080i/50 or /60 signal off recorded video. Does this mean the camera with output 1080i....but not to tape? so to a hard drive based system then ?

* 3-CCD compact shoulder camcorder
* 1/3", 1280 x 720 pixel, progressive scan CCDs
* Interchangeable lenses via bayonet mount
* Magnesium die-cast body
* Switchable between standard definition and high definition
* DV and HDV output via IEEE1394 port
* HD live output signal is uncompressed 720p/50 or /60
* HD recording in HDV1 format 720p/25, /24 or /30 to either or both Mini DV tape and optional hard disk drive
* HD output 1080i/50 or /60 signal off recorded video
* SD 576i/50 (PAL) recording in 16:9 and 4:3 modes


Cheers people

Basically it takes your tape recorded in 24p or 30p and you can set your outputs to ouput 1080i/50 or 60 from the tape. This feature could be usefull if you were mixing a JVC HD110 with some Sony HDV or similar camcorder. Basically it's a way to streamline mixing different formats to your editing comuter for broadcast quicker. Nothing new, even the JVC HD-1 & HD-10 did this as well. You can do the same thing in your editing, but this saves time. It still looks like 24p or 30p in a 60i signal.

Ahhh, ok I get it now! I can see with your explaination how that would help.

Cheers
