thanks buddy!

Since the link posted above is broken - and I'm tired of seeing all of the 404 Not Found errors in the Web server log files :) - I thought that I'd pop in here and suggest that anyone needing a Sony HVR-Z7x manual go to Frank's thoughts on HDV (http://www.humanvalues.net/hdv/) and click on the "Documentation Index" link.

There you'll find a collection of (currently) 1348 PDF files, including brochures and manuals for most all HDV, AVCHD, and XDCAM EX products from Canon, JVC, Panasonic, and Sony.

The majority of the PDFs are in the English language but there are a number of Chinese (both Simplified and Traditional) and Japanese language files as well as a few other languages. All are clearly indicated in the filename.

Aside from HDV, AVCHD, and XDCAM EX, there are also some brochures and manuals for XDCAM HD, XDCAM HD422, HDCAM SR, AVCCAM and AVC-Intra, along with some DVCAM and HDCAM products. P2 HD products are fairly well covered.

There are also some standards documents for ISO/IEC MPEG-4 Part 10 AVC, MPEG-4 AAC, ITU-T Rec. H.264, various whitepapers, etc.

Thank you.

Frank.
