XL2 PAL Direct Hard Disk Recording!
Hello
http://www.canon-europe.com/For_Home/Product_Finder/Camcorders/Digital/XL2/index.asp?ComponentID=207214&SourcePageID=26346 The Canon Europe website anounces: "In sync Both Rec Run and Free Run SMPTE time code is supported. 2 built-in phantom powered XLR jacks and a BNC jack for monitor output is provided. An IEEE1394 connection allows direct hard disk recording. Hopefully you can switch an 2,5" Firewire harddisk like the : http://www.lacie.com/de/products/product.htm?pid=10558 to it. For me direct hard disk recording means recording directly to an IEEE1394 Harddisk without using an laptop. Whats your opinion? Greetings from cold and snowy germany Thomas |

Hello Thomas,
It's not just recording to a hard disk that matters. It's recording *edit ready* files to a hard disk. This is what matters. Currently there are three options available: FireStore by Focus Enhancements, QuickStream by MCE, and the A2D by nNovia. You'll want to browse through our specialty forum "Direct-to-Disk (Tapeless) Recording Solutions" for more info. Greetings from wet and muddy Texas. |

I would also add that there is something very nice about being able to use the laptop display as a monitor and when used with DV Rack the other utility features it offers are a serious boon to production.
