How would exposure control by Lanc work on the HC1/A1?
I have also found this interesting device for controlling 3 cameras that might interest people (don't know if it works with HDV though).
http://www.grizzlypro.com/r3.htm Has anybody discovered where ever the AI has independent Iris and gain controls yet? |
Hi Wayne,
I posted about the Grizzly just the other day in our Camera Support forum: http://www.dvinfo.net/conf/showthread.php?t=49285 The company owner, Phil Jensen, dropped in to say hi. You can ask him, but I'm pretty sure he'll tell you that exposure is not controllable by LANC with his equipment. There is no difference between DV and HDV gear when it comes to LANC. If the jack is there, and if it's labeled "L" or "Control L" then it is indeed LANC compatible. If you were referring to HDV and his three-way controller, then it's important to realize that his device is sending out composite analog in standard definition. Hope this helps, |
Thanks for that, I'm a bit dizzy at the moment, so it is hard to read through everything, however I did find this:

I still wish I knew where those firewire camera controls were that I saw, though. |
The device might be able to control those things but that doesn't have to mean that the device being controlled (the camera) listens to it. I wouldn't have my hope up that the HC1/A1 would be better controlled from an external device.

Yes, but along the lines that "You will never never know, if you never never go" it's worth investigation to see if it supports it.

The composite video signal works great in both 4:3 and 16:9. It's just composite but it gives you a good signal from the HDV cameras. |
Thanks for that report, Phil -- much appreciated,
