the whole 4:2:2 thing - to David Heath

[shrigg]

1. A nanoflash-type product that has "HDMI-in" instead of "HD-SDI in". Recording
to a dedicated onboard disk.

Doesn't exist, at least not yet... The other thing to consider is that these recorders cost more than an HMC-150 (nanoflash projected price $3495+$395 for nanoconnect)

2. A laptop or a small desktop with some type of HDMI "capture" capability

Blackmagic Intensity which pretty much limits you to a desktop + SATA drives unless you have a macbook pro and are willing to void your warranty.
I wanna do this but I'm afraid.... rogar-Love(DBG):

I'm going to set up our screen this weekend hopefully, and make certain my well paid talent will agreed to be videoed.

Heck, I married her, so she better.

hey David, did you ever get a chance to capture the footage? I'm still debating between the HMC150 and the HPX170 and would love to get to test out keying on both.

So it sounds like you can record the output from the HMC-150 HDMI port, but you need TWO devices - an HDMI-->HD-SDI converter box, then you pick up an HD-SDI recorder like the nanoflash (records to SDHC cards).

Hope someone from Panasonic will consider making a recorder with an HDMI port onboard so we could have a "one box" solution for this...

Thanks,
Randy

Hi Randy-
The nanoFlash has both HD/SD-SDI I/O and HDMI I/O, so you can connect to either the HPX-170 or the HMC-150.

The nanoFlash records to Compact Flash cards, not SDHC. SDHC cards do not have sufficient bandwidth for our 100/160 Mbps CODEC. We are now recommending the Kingston 32GB 133X Compact Flash, which has sufficient performace for data-rates up to 140 Mbps and costs a whopping $60 at B&H.

We plan to debut the nanoFlash at NAB and begin shipments in late May.

Best Regards-

this pretty much blurs the line between hmc150 and hpx170 huh?

if the gh1 outputs live hdmi this would be an awesome combination

I agree, it would be awesome to see a comparison of both cameras!
