DVL-Digest 796 - Postings: Index Brent Wiscombe, please turn off read requests! DVCAM Walkman? Brent Wiscombe, please turn off read requests! - "Perry" Gil Sharon: Those of us that are regular to this list have come to expect a few guardians of netiquette to look after our interests. If somebody is inconsiderate or ignorant to cause us some extra trouble or download time then we can be sure that these stalwart gentlemen will give a gentle poke with the requisite sharp stick. Richard H. Heeren is one of those guardians, and is always very polite with his reprimands. Some of us can be a lot more nasty, so unless you want to loose the dogs of war then please accept his reasonable and sensible request without complaint.

It's all a marketing thing realy this DV DVCAM stuff. Both will actually playback both DV and DVCAM. They are just "castrated" to recording just one or the other. What a rip-off.< Not quite - DVCAM has a wider head. If you use it to record DV then the tracks overlap and there is an increased chance of mistracking and error dropouts. It is a very similar situation to LP mode with DV. Recording DVCAM with a DV head would be pointless, since the track would be no wider. Ideally a dual mode record deck would need two sets of heads which would be more expensive. I've never understood this sort of Sony attack. They have made a terrific set of consumer (DV) tools which many of us use professionally to good effect. They have also made a range of professional products (DVCAM) which are priced from little more than the consumer equivalents up to full blooded studio type equipment, although still a lot less than traditional broadcast pricing. There is a reasonable interchange between DV and DVCAM, although some of it is undocumented and therefore not supported. My only serious grouse would be the reluctance to support component analog connections on the cheaper machines. just my two penn'orth Perry Mitchell Video Consultant http://www.perrybits.co.uk (diese posts stammen von der DV-L Mailingliste - THX to Adam Wilt and Perry Mitchell :-) [up] |
