Re: XL H1 w Samurai still make sense w. all the new options out there?
Recently I add a nanoFlash to my XL H1 setup. No problem to root the audio into the nanoFlash.
Any recommendations on useful data rates? I can hardly see any differences between long gop 100-140 Mbps or i-frame 180-280 Mbps on 1/50 shutter. I try the Neat Video thing too. It's amazing :D |

Long gop @ 100 mbps offers a good quality without taking too much space on card. You may use a higher bitrate if you need to make a heavy post treatment (fx or green screen).

Re: XL H1 w Samurai still make sense w. all the new options out there?
Thanks for all of the good posts. Since reviewing this post, I have come to find out that Atomos has a new product coming our for cameras like the H1; the Samauri Blade. This capture box is amazing and will probably be my next purchase.

I use the Samurai with my H1. I find out how to fit on the H1 for using as shoulder cam:

Thanks for the pictures. Does the Samurai allow you to record audio direct to file or do you need to use a separate audio capture device? Also, how is the image quality in comparison to what you get without it?

I record Audio direct to the file through the analog input. Had some trouble with that. You need to switch battery management in the Samurai to Anton Bauer adapter, to prevent clicking every second. I use a LANC cable, inserted tape and free running timecode to get record the Samurai with the record button of the camera. Locking the screen from the Samurai prevent unexpected recordings.

This sound somewhat cumbersome. Can I assume that the audio that you record direct to the Samauri is only so that you can match it up to your external audio recording device. Or, is the captured audio of a good enough quality (whatever that means)>

Samurai sound recording quality is equal to the sound recording of the Canon tape recording. I set a delay of two frames for syncing to the picture.

No, the Firestore records the compressed signal via Firewire interface, the Samurai get a uncompressed HD SDI signal.

Thanks for that. I just purchased a FS-CF on Ebay for a couple hundred dollars but, I guess I'll have to go ahead and get the newer Atoms product. With the Samurai, does it record the Audio too or is there a work around needed?

You can record sound on the Samurai from your Canon analog outputs.
