whats the different the camera runs the same (23.98 frame - 29,97 tc )
when you shoot true 24, the things are little bit different (but its on hd cams not dvx)

Re: DAT or DVX?

As I professional sound engineer for many years, I'm, excited with
the clean audio that I get with the ME66 & DVX.  Proper booming
and noise control makes for excellent results, I don't disagree
that a mic pre as a front end would be great, I think its more necessary
going to dat as oppsed to the DVX.

I use an FMR-RNP preamp with excellent results. It is just under $500 and is really clean. I strap it to a monitor mounting kit and away I go! Oh....you need 110 :'(

Hi there,
the new sony HiMD will change things around a bit.
We are due to get them next month down here.
1Gb storage with full wav file recording and direct digital uplink to PC.

I currently use MD when i need an off camera mic or two.
If you get a mic with a reasonable long HQ record mode (mine does dual time mono at high quality) you can set the dvx to free run timecode and then start it off at the same time as starting the MD recording. Let the MD record until end of disk.
It is then a fairly easy job to match the timecode on the tape with time on the audio track.

I use a synch box I built. I hold it in front of the camera when shooting and press the button that triggers a peizo buzzer and a bright LED easy to see and hear even when out of focus. Any local mics also pick up the sound.
Its a fairly usefull gismo when doing on the run eng.
I setup my interviewer with a MD recording from a lav and a hand mic then free run the timecode as above and blip the syncher every so often.

I only bother to synch up the MD audio for the shots i use so as to save time.

cheaper than stereo wireless mics.
