So here's a slightly more technical set of questions/hopes/wishes..
So far i have compiled the following list of ins/outs:
*Firewire I/O
*USB2 Out (in? ...must be)
*HD Component Out - switchable to SD? I presume so.
*Composite I/O (SD)
*S-video [Y/C] I/O (SD)
*XLR audio in x 2 (Channels 1 & 2) with phantom.
*RCA stereo audio I/O (is this an input only in VCR mode, or maybe in for channels 3&4 in cam mode?!
*Headphone output
*Remote connector for: Rec/pause, Zoom, Focus, Iris
Uh.. I presume it has an external power connector (or through a dummy battery)
Do the Component and Composite & S-video outputs all work simultaniously? the Sony's and JVC's only do Component OR Composite & S-video (through the same terminals) but not at the same time.
Apparently you can also gang to cameras together with Firewire to lock timecodes. (So effectivly a combined TC I/O through firewire.) - Woudl this work with a Firewire hub to gang more than 2 cameras? (3-camera interview...)
When ganged with firewire, are the cameras also fully in sync, or just running with matching timecodes (so off by up to a frame)?
How about analog TC input/output (maybe through the composite connector)?
And here's a BIG one for me: Genlock. With the component outputs in the camera, it work work really well for live switching, or especially keying work. But to do this properly (and without a EXPENSIVE HD frame sync) The camera woudl need a genlock input.
I'd even have mcuh use for the camera in an SD environment if I could sync it to the house.
So PLEASE! Genlock (AKA: Sync or Blackburst) input? (Again, maybe from the composite input?)
This would be by far best if it could be a full video input that no only would sync the camera, but could be called up to the viewfinder/monitor with the "Ret" ('record check') button. (Think PGM feed on a studio camera)
- Heck best would be use the 2 channels from S-video for TC I/O or TC & GL in.
Is it possible to perform any other remote control of the camera other than those through the remote connector(s)? Like maybe a USB RCU for w.bal, other settings, etc..
Oh, and here's the odball one: How about a Tally input for those multicamera gigs.
