Camera recording to SD will Nanoflash record HD?

This will work, if the camera outputs timecode when in HD-SDI or SD-SDI mode.

Since you were in SD, timecode may or may not have been coming over the SD-SDI signal.




Do you mean via SD-SDI or HDMI? I assume that it was SD-SDI since you answered Yes to Question 2.

Did you have Video|E to E Direct on?

SD over HDMI is not supported in the nanoFlash, but it may have worked if E to E Direct was on, and it was a frame rate and mode supported by the projector.

SD over SD-SDI should have worked, if E to E Direct was on, and may have worked if E to E Direct was off, depending on the frame rate/mode and other settings,

Sorry for the delay,

Yes, SD over SDI.

E to E direct is not on, (not ticked)

Thanks Dan.

Dear Anthony,

If you are in a position to do so, please test with Video|E to E Direct| On (Checked)

Thanks Dan, will try that too.

Hello John,
Had a looks at the SDI out settings from my PMW320 but don't see where I can change it to SD.
Down converter is already set at squeeze.

Thanks.

Dan, I tested with E to E Direct checked but still cant get SD out from the NF while the camera is set to HD.
Perhaps I'm doing something wrong?

Thank you.

Dear Anthony,

You stated that you can't get SD out of the nanoFlash while the camera is set to HD.

Is the camera outputting SD over the HD-SDI output that you are using to feed the nanoFlash?

If you connect this HD-SDI cable to a monitor do you see SD?

The nanoFlash cannot downconvert HD to SD.

Respectfully,

That must be the problen then.

The only way I can get the NF to record in SD is when the camera is set to SD.

It looks like I need a Mini converter of some sort then, to let me output to SD while the camera records in HD.

Thanks Dan for all your help.

Hi Anthony,
I have the PMW350 and almost 90% of my works are done paired with a nano flash, I either record SD or HD on the nano flash, depends on client's needs, on board (sxs) I always record HD.
Never had problems to do that and I have done it a lot with the sd option!
When you set in the menu Input/Output: the Output& i.LINK to sd & dv the nano flash automatically detect the sd signal mode and i record mxf 50mb sd...I know it's stupid to say but did you check that you have the sdi output set to ON!?
