HD Camcorder HDMI input recording? at DVinfo.net

Justin Halliday · June 25th, 2008, 06:26 AM

Does anyone know if any of the HD cams (Sony SR12, Canon HF10, Panasonic HDC) will record from HDMI input?

I want to record HD (720 or 1080) footage from Xbox 360 or PS3 games from their HDMI output.

AFAIK the HDMI on all the cameras out there is an OUTPUT, not a recording in. I'd imagine that being able to record full HD that way would open a can of worms, DRM and all that...

Quite right... on camcorders (and most laptops, too), HDMI is output only.
