no sorry i don't know about the FX1.
The mode needed is just rotate the silver dial one click from 'tape' mode ! takes 1 second. that's it - just the photo mode. |
How best to capture m2t from HC1?
I need to capture the raw m2t output from my HC1 ... but I also need to be able to specify the in & out points. The reason for this is because I want to be able to capture precise clips from the tape and not go through an editing process.
I can't use Premiere Pro because it doesn't use the raw streams. I can't use ConnectHD from Cineform because you can't specify in & out points - it just captures, as does CapDVHS. I've tried using the Media Studio Pro 8 trial but (a) it keeps on blowing up when I try to run the capture tool and (b) when I have managed to get the tool working, it doesn't look like I can specify in & out points. Can anyone make suggestions as to how I can achieve what I need to do? --Philip |

Sorry - I've just re-read my original posting and it was ambiguous in the meaning of the question :-).
I wasn't specifically asking for help about MSP8 - although if it can do what I want, that is a bonus. I was, in general, asking for advice and suggestions on any tool that will allow me to capture the m2t stream but within specific in and out points. Thanks. --Philip |
HC1 read 50i HDV tapes?
I see according to this site (http://www.sonystyle.ca/commerce/ser...ductId=1001602 - look under specifications) that the HC1 can apparently read and playback 1080i50 tapes. Has anyone tried this feature? I'm thinking about using this as a deck for my Z1 and if I shoot 1080i50 HDV, it'd be nice to know that someone has tried this before. Additionally, would it be possible to monitor the 1080i50 signal (firewire out -> HC1 -> PAL/NTSC monitor)?

I believe you are correct. In fact, a lot of people have been using the HC1 as a deck. As a bonus, they get a handy vacation camcorder...a no-brainer for those with money. ;)
|
Compatibility goes both ways.
Nevertheless, given the size and robustness of the HC1, i dont think it would be adequate to use it as a deck for a professional harassing type of work... |
what is best manual setting for hc1
i use
auto exposure color level 2up sharpness level 1up and i don't use white balance. outdoor mode or auto color mode looked much better. |

HC1 auto white balance
hi,
please forgive this ignorant question but for all the tea in china I can not work out if the auto white balance is set every time the camera is switched on or each time recording is switched on. cheers |
As soon as a camcorder is being switched on in camera mode, AWB tracking is active (lenscover removed) and stays active, also during recording. It will adapt the WB setting needed for the scene with a certain delay (about 10 seconds). Leaving yr can in rec. standby while walking with the lens pointed down towards e.g. the (yellow) sand will result in a blueish whitepoint shifts.

HC1 - Two Quick Questions
What is the minimum aperture of the lens? f8? f11?
In bright light, it seems to like the shutter speed of 125 (as opposed to 60), I guess because it feels that 60 will cause too much difraction with a smaller aperture? Anyway if I choose manual shutter speed and set it myself, how can I know what aperture it has chosen? The only way I can find out is by shooting a clip and playing it with the Time Code Data displayed. But it is cumbersome... Thanks. |
At f11 (available?) diffraction will introduce reduced resolution with those small CCD structures. Especially when component HDV is being played it will be visible. A higher shutterspeed will introduce some more strobing which can be different (breakups?) with CMOS readout .
