Excellent Mike thanks for the reply.

Any word on the audio synch issue resolution?

I'll send an e-mail to Canon asking for clarification on the proper way to compress 30F video: as 1080i60 or 1080psf30.

Yes - the Canon H1 30f > HDCAM 50Mbps 30p looks great on both the FCP monitor and out to a 67" Samsung 1080p monitor via BlackMagic MultibridgePro HDMI.

Hi John-
John Schell, our hardware designer, fixed the audio sync issue this weekend. We are testing a new firmware update today, which also enables the analog audio, including the mic/line, the mic pre-amps and the phantom power.

Later this week, we'll have the code to playback the last clip and to save the last settings (file format, bit-rate, audio level, etc.), so they are recalled automatically on power-up.

Thanks Mike. That's good news on the 2nd main piece of the puzzle - audio.
I think the XDR will soon negate the need to record double system.
