Can you capture SD to Firestore and MiniDV at the same time?

[JDM]

Sorry if this has already been covered, but I could not find it.

I had someone tell me today that in SD on the HVX 200 I can capture to both a Firestore and MiniDV at the same time. Is that accurate?

:dankk2:

Yes, this is possble with the HVX.. You must set your camera to record (to miniDV) and spit data out through the firewire port..

So you can't record DVCPro 50 to the firestore and record on the mini-dv tape as backup at the same time?
Or can you and is there anything we need to adjust to the camera's output?

 

[AbstracTheory]

No, since you cannot record DVCPro50 to mini DV, the HVX cannot simultaneously record DV to the tape and DVCPro 50 to the firestore.. The formats will be the same...

Thanks AbstracTheory. I'll give it a try.

Thanks Abstract. I was afraid of that, although not a biggie.
