specs HVX

I think the idea of HDV on the tape deck is very reasonable - the hardware is already there - and HDV to P2 in addition to DVCProHD is also reasonable. If you want the extra quality, and have the memory to record it, go with DVCProHD - if it won't fit, go with HDV. Vastly better than nothing?

There are a number of reasons that HDV is not on the camera. 1. we are not a member of that cosortium. 2. If it did and someone were to look at the recording and were to comment about a problem that they saw with the picture, which is common in HDV, and then asked which camera, they may make the mistaken conclusion that that is what DVCPRO HD looks like. This could not and would not be allowed to ever happen. If you want HDV there are cameras that do it, if you want DVCPRO HD then this is your camera.

There are lots of features on the HVX that are there because of customer ideas, members of this board can say, hey that was my suggestion, but this is one that just didn't make and I think never will.

Best,

I ask for some specs, seldom discussed here: what user-data can be recorded on the SD card?

Okay I will join in trying to get this back on track. Cici, what kind of user data? You mean in the meta data?

Please clarify,

Jan
 
ok, then I just say:

I only know that the SD card is used for recording datas in case another user changes some settings on the camera or in case I have to work with another HVX and want my personal data on that cam without changing the users settings.

So I don't know anything about what can be saved on that card and what not, and I'm even not sure if I got the point of what for using this card...
 
So the HVX will have an SD card slot?

What this means, hopefully, is that you will
be able to save and upload your scene files or gamma settings like the SDX. Perhaps even download the ones for the SDX available off the Panaonic website. I asked about this in another post and no one replied.

Jan, is this true?
 
I like the idea of "able to save and upload your scene files or gamma settings like the SDX" on an HDX SD card. It doesn't seem far fetched that SDX and HDX capabilities can't be inter-exchanged on some levels.
 
The HVX does have a slot for an SD memory card. It sure would have been nice of us to remember to ask what it's for, but I'm afraid we didn't.

Presumably it will allow for saving/interchanging scene file settings. There's not much likelihood that scene files would be interchangeable from the big cameras, as they have more extensive menu control settings. Would be very nice though!

Hi Barry,

I thought we talked about this, but unfortunately I blur 4 weeks into one fun evening with you and Jarred, pizza and quesadillas, ;-). The scene files can be transfered to the HVX , this is the "way it looks files." These are .txt and can be emailed and downloaded and all the cool stuff that we do with the SDX. I have the same guy retained for the scene file downloads to match the SDx downloads and then we also have you, the "main man" a creative force unto yourself. I can hardly wait to see what you do with this little baby. The scene file data is the gammas, the color the detail, and more to be dicovered in a week or two.

All the best,

Jan
 
Could the Whitebalance -parameters I set in manual WB be saved on the SD card?

I need a perfect set white-balance in case I can't control it on the coming underwater-housing. It's very difficult to get a white-balance with a very-strong green reference and to record this data on SD would save me to torture the cam's manual white-balance eacht time with strong green reference... and the conditions of the man. WB even with reference change each time, depending on daytime - so in the dark, I can't make a man. WB with green reference as any (yellowish) lamp would spoil the green... The SD card could be the guarant for my personal "standard-WB"
