heres the full drill on the FX1 - mouse over the Japanese for translation

the component out is defined as D3/D1 which may mean a hybrid or switchable - anyone care to comment?

A D-type of connection is the Japanese equivalent of component video out (YPrPb) just a different interface than the three RCA style.


D1 525 Interlaced - American 480i
D2 525 progressive - American 480p
D3 1125 Interlaced - American 1080i
D4 750 progressive - American 720p
D5 1125 progressive - American 1080p


Note that each is backward compatible. This means that a D5 connection can display all of these modes, where a D3 connection can only display D1-D3.

The JVCs use a D4.

thanks for that info

it looks like the YUV will deliver the SD on D1 and the HDV on D3



has anyone noticed the cool AB transition buttons?

set focus , zoom and aperture and store to A
(move camera)
set focus, zoom and aperture and store to B

then choose either straight in/out, easy out, or easy in/out and the timescale - the FX1 will move from set A to set B - wow

those dolly in and zoom out shots will be a cinch!
