4.3 mode ...
I heard that the EX1/3 will shoot 4.3 in standard mode via s-video and analog audio connects. Is this true?
|
The EX1 will not shoot (record) in SD, it only records in HD which is 16:9. You can downconvert the camera recorded output as an SD signal that can be cropped to 4:3.

I wouldn't have thought so. It doesn't have an s-video connector. It has component and composite output.
The manual states that the video format selected from the recording menu wil also be used for output over component and composite. None of those formats are 4:3. You can have a 4:3 frame on the LCD to help with composition but that's all. Ian |
You can set the Video Set/Down Converter menu setting to Edge Crop, which gives a 4:3 SD signal by discarding the edges of the 16:9 frame.

S-video ...

Yes, Dean, it's there. You can connect the camera to a monitor or television that has an S-video input. However, neither the output nor the image will be in SD or 4:3.
The down conversion is best handled by your NLE. |
thanks guys ...
I'll mull this over and play with it.

Actually the Sony XDCAM Browser will down convert the footage too.

Apologies - I didn't read the "/3" part of the post. The EX3 does have s-video, the EX1 doesn't.

I don't have my camera to hand but from memory, you can set the composite (& S-video) output via the menu (of course - is there any other way!!!!) to give the standard SD downconverts such as squeeze, & crop etc. Was that what you were after? I haven't tried the S output to compare its quality to the composite. Anyone compared the o/ps on the EX3? Hope this helps you. Best wishes David Issko |
