DVL-Digest 573 - Postings: Index Camcorder for aviation videos component to DV Whoops! Camcorder for aviation videos - Perry Mitchell Eric Esser posted: >I'm a private pilot, and I'm basically planning to create aviation videos.< All the folk I know that do serious aviation programs, use separate 'MiniCams' for the in cockpit stuff. These can be tiny and are then often called lipstick cameras. You can get very wide (fixed) angle lenses and they are much easier to mount than a whole camcorder. They are designed for industrial use but the better ones now give remarkably good pictures. In the UK (and Australia) we have a regular broadcast update on the state of these cameras by virtue of watching Cricket! A few years ago, somebody down under had the great idea of mounting a camera inside a cricket stump (naturally called 'StumpCam') and every year the pictures get better. This season they are even panning the camera with some sort of remote control! component to DV - "Perry" Vince posted: >Does anyone know a way to get a component output from a Betacam machine and transcode it into DV.< There are several ways of converting component analog components or the digital component SDI signal into a DV Firewire signal, but the JVC '600 deck lets you do it in the deck itself.

Anthony said: Actually, the VX-1000 has an internal battery and cannot use a six-cell 9xx series of batteries at all. It can only use the four-cell 7xx series (740, 750) and even the smaller two-cell series (3xx and 5xx) with ease. At least, My VX-1000 used the 3's and 5's with ease. God knows where I got NP-930 from, put it down to a stinking cold and a hangover! I SHOULD have said NP-720. My local Sony shop only sells 740,750 but according to all the information I can find I now need NP-F730 and none of the other types will work.
