DVX100B Sync feature in HVX200?
- Thread starter sonisfear
- Start date
I believe the HVX200 has these features. What is funny about your comment is the 1080P studio thing. That is the market that Canon is targeting with the H1 and most of the DVX/HVX fans here have totally dissed that as a feature that nobody wants. Now to hear you get excited about its potential with the HVX is kinda cool.

I don't think anybody's "dissed" the studio capabilities of the XL H1. The XL H1 is uniquely suitable to studio use, moreso than the HVX is, because the remote computer program lets you control a lot more than just focus and zoom.
It's probably more accurate to say that most of the users here are not going to be doing anything that would warrant paying extra for the XL H1's unique selling points (being HD-SDI etc). For those who value that, the XL H1 is uniquely well-positioned. For those who are in that market segment, the Canon is clearly the leading contender.
Most on this board are filmmakers or aspiring filmmakers, or one-man-band production shops, or wedding shooters, or commercial makers, or industrial video shooters, or hobbyists. The unique studio-level features of the XL H1 are basically overkill, if not completely inapplicable, for those purposes. The XL H1 is targeting a specific market, and targeting it very well. It's just not the membership of this board, is all.
But calling it 1080p is generous; I believe David Newman reported that the 1080F frame mode does appear to be an interpolated-between-fields method.

Barry,
I am one of those one-man-band types and I find those features of the H1 not of any real use to me! So I am not defending it. But I am not wrong in pointing out that very few here have actually shown any interest in the studios features. So I found it ironic that somebody was enthusiastic over that particular feature.
Peace!

Hey Barry what exactly are the remote features in the HVX or where can I study for myself?
I am excited in these features because I am trying to evolve into a corporate video solution company.
The more I work for my local cable company and see how they do things the more sense that remote work flow makes to me.
They take on volunteer/ hir cheap students to simply hold and point the cam and adjust iris, white balance etc from the mobile truck.
I can save alot of money in man power if I adopt this method. I am even thinking of trying this method at High-end weddings.
Imaging a two man crew one mobile with my HD100 transmiting a composit ref track to me maning a tripod cam at the back of the hall and remote controling the third cam at the other end of the hall QC monitoring all three with 8" LCD monitors.

The HVX's remote capabilities are for iris, focus, zoom, and recording start-stop. The XL H1 has a more extensive set of capabilities that it can control through firewire; it's in a whole different ballgame.
