Also... can you enlighten us on that "still frame out the component output" issue in this thread? Does the component out show still frames, and can they be used for CC? Again, Thanks! -Barry |

The industry is moving very rapidly to carrying "to your HDTV" signal only via HDMI with HDCP. That will enable the content copyright owner to set a bit and either disable component output or cause component to be no better than 480p. Allowing 1394 to HD component leaves a loophole in this pro-Hollywood scheme. A camcorder could be used as a "converter." Pro equipment is moving rapidly toward the use HD-SDI for transfer of HD. |

Which, of course, equally makes no sense. The key seems to be "direct conversion." Once you record and playback -- the device stops being a "converter" and becomes a VTR. Hence whatever is input is compressed and uncompressed. I think we will see such "no sense" blocks all designed to appease Hollywood. |

Also, in the audio world, it's been kind of a "price of entry" thing. Pro-level equipmet often allows defeating of CSS, while consumer-level equipment doesn't.... |
Here's my stoopid question, since I so far have no HDTV and haven't found a 100% solid answer on the web:
Composite and S-Video connections are only SD, right? ---- And, if so, this means the HVX outputs an SD signal on those outputs whenever shooting? So that, all I need is a cheapo MiniDV or D8 camcorder connected via S-Video to have an "emergency" SD backup on tape? I know the quality will relatively suck, but it's something! Most everything i do is live and critical! |
Yes composite and s-video are SD-only. And you can also configure the component outputs to downconvert to SD too.
Yes, the HVX outputs an SD signal on s-video and composite at all times. Yes, you could make an "emergency" backup like that. No, you wouldn't be too happy with the quality, I'm sure... but you could do what you're asking. |
barry green,
will going component out from the hvx to component in on a dell 2405 work for viewing 1080p footage? is this the cheapest way to viewing w/ a nle? if i don't want to use my camera, will a black magic card and an hdlink be the next cheapest solution? thanks. also, what do you guys think about using the sony PVM-14L5 for viewing 1080p and 720p footage? looking to go possibly this route as well... http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/cont...ughType=search |

Either way it comes down to you cannot see HD out to a monitor from a NLE without using a Kona or Decklink or something like that. You are talking some $$$ to do it. For whatever reason the camera will not. Bummer. On another note...Barry you said that it ouputs SD via the composite and SVideo at all times. Even when scrubbing the timeline in FCP or AVID in HD? I don't know if that would help at all but maybe seeing an SD version on an NTSC monitor might do something for those of us without Kona style interfaces.... thanks! |
