D7000 Recording

Has anyone tried to record to an AJA Ki Pro Mini or Blackmagic HyperDeck Shuttle? How about mixing audio from more than one mic to a separate recorder? Interesting to hear good and bad outcomes and learning experiences.
 
The live hdmi output is a cropped 720p with exposure info layered on. Not very useful for anything other than monitoring.

I've been using a sony pcm-d50 for redundant audio recording. That sound directly from the recorders' own mics is cleaner
than an AKG CK93 or AT4073a coming into the camera through a beachtek. So the in-camera audio is used to sync the
external recording.
 
Hmmmm. That's a bummer. I have nothing but Nikon glass and was hoping the D7000 could function as a 'B' camera but that won't work.

I am just paranoid of mixing codecs and then interpolating; one cam 4:2:2 1080p60 another 4:2:0 720p30, etc.
 
But why not then to SD cards? Out of all the other cameras, you have 2 memory banks with this cam. Just use the HDMI for monitoring. Nikon glass is the best, and no reason to invest in another set of glass.
Im a GH2 user myself, but only use Nikon glass.
 
I think a lot of this has to do with my inexp with dSLR for video, daihard. I keep reading how the H.264 compression is so hi and that there are actually only two frames per second of video (all others interpolated) in many/most/all (?) dSLRs that I want to avoid it altogether so it isn't a concern.
 
I'm not sure what your A camera is, but if you shot at 1080/24p on both, there's a good chance that the material could mix OK.
I guess it depends on how much processing you're going to do in post. Best way to find out is to just experiment.
 
Right. Switch to 24p on the other camera and you should be fine.

I always find that the biggest difference when trying to mix cameras (aside from frame rate) is the extreme change of DoF. If you keep that under control, you should be able to color correct them to match pretty well.

I have... believe me. I have mixed H.264 1080p24 with HDV 1440x1080i30 with NTSC DV 4:3 30i and a bunch of others. I use Premiere CS5 and mix it all on the timeline and simply interpret and output to 1080p30 and scale frames to fit via interp. It seems to work, but feels like the wrong way to do things. I could transcode to ProRes but that's an extra step and takes time which I have little of, so I thought a recorder might be the solution (to save time and match codecs across all cameras). If I shot with a dSLR (D7000) -to be- or my main cam -to be- (Sony NEX FS100) using the recorder in both cases I'd be sure to get the exact same files all the time. That seems like the right way, but I don't know. (I actually posted this mixed codec question to little avail once.)
