Hi Alex. Yes you are right, the FW output is always compressed. I was thinking about shooting and capturing video using the component out from the XH-A1 into the component input on the MXO2Mini. The...

Hi Chas. There should be no problem using Sony tapes with the XH-A1, unless you have previously been using other brands like Panasonic or JVC. It is mixing different tape brands that can sometimes...

I was thinking of using it with a laptop to bypass the camera's HDV compression and recording higher quality video. Would be interesting to know if anybody's tried this yet with an XH-A1.

Hi Alex. Even if the signal is only degraded a little bit, why would you want to do that? I thought FW is much more convenient for capture than buying a separate box.

Hi Alex. The only benefit of using the analogue component signal in this way is if you are bypassing the tape during shooting. As I mentioned, it is possible that this signal is without any HDV...

Hi Alex. I hadn't come across this device before. It looks really interesting, especially if Cineform support becomes available.

Hi Barry. If 1/60s works for you that's great, but just be aware that you might see some flickering if you shoot 1/60s under artificial light. Best to switch off the shutter when shooting 50i.

I wouldn't recommend setting the camera to auto for chromakey work. Shifts in exposure due to auto exposure will not help the keying process much, and changes in WB due to AWB will definitely cause...

I tried PFVision only once outdoors, and found that it is too unnatural. Indoors under low light it is very effective though, and I find it less noisy than shooting flat and boosting in post.

Hi Mark. I find PFVision to be very good at maintaining colour and brightness in low light. But I suggest you try these presets for yourself and see what you prefer.
