Believe that Sony added a filter. Actually, it was not a true x-ray vision. One coud see outlines of undergrments if the outer wear was of a fabric that was relatively transparent to IR (e.g., some synthetics). The few samples I saw posted were not impressive. If that is one's thing, better to visit the nearby adult video store, buy a tape that fits one's kinks, capture desired footage into the NLE, and filter it to give the "night-vision" look.

XM-1 (GL-1) inputs
I am almost about to buy the XM-1 here in Singapore, but am wondering if the camera has an RCA jack input? I'd like to copy footage from a VHS tape onto DV and put it in my computer. I've heard there are no such inputs, which I find hard to believe.
If not, how can I get this VHS footage onto DV? There must be a way with this camera. Thanks PATRO |

From what I've heard only the NTSC GL-1 can convert analog-in to dv, not the PAL XM-1. Strange...very strange...

The PAL version donīt have analog-in because of the EUC Tax-policy at the time XM1 arrived.

BUT SINGAPORE'S NOT IN THE EU!!!!
So what solution is there if I need to get some VHS footage into my computer? I guess I have to have a capture card with analog inputs. Can anybody offer any other solutions? Thanks, PATRO |

Hi Patro,
Take a look at The Son of Watchdog GL1-411.com. I think one had made changes to his XM1 in some way. You could get a Dazzle Holywood DV Bridge Analog/Digital Converter or JVC HR-DV s3(0) MiniDV-VHS deck. Kjeld |

Thanks a lot.
Would a more cost-effective solution be just to buy a capture card with not only the firewire plug but analog inputs? In other words, what extra capabilities would I gain from buying a Dazzle Holywood DV Bridge Analog/Digital Converter or JVC HR-DV s3(0) MiniDV-VHS deck (that I wouldn't get with a capture card with both digital and analog inputs). -PATRO |

Here in Singapore, the XM-1 is around US $1700 with the warranty and all standard accessories (battery and I'm not sure what else).
But for about US $1400-1500 it wouldn't come with the warranty, and probably not the battery or anything else at all. -PATRO |

Live recording
I need suggestions on how to record a live band, I've gotten the optics down, and the gl1's onboard mic is horribly overdriven with bass and overall sounds terrible in smaller venues. How should I go about getting quality live audio? Thanks in advance, Max

Where to get secondhand XL1s/XM1's in Australasia
Hi all, there are some Kiwis and Aussies on here and I was wondering if any of you know where a good place in either country is to get cameras from, preferably secondhand? I'd love a second hand xl1s, but even an XM1 would be ok.
Cheers Aaron |

How much you got to spend? You could try running everything from their amp into the camera using an attenuator. That whould be the cheapest. You might spend $20 or $30 on adapters and stuff.
I use a Korg D12 as my audio recorder, which was about $1000. I can either run it into the amp or house board, or if all else fails, run mics into it. |
