Ingest via HDMI if firewire not available?
Was looking into new computer and of course have trouble finding one with Firewire. I shoot on Sony HDV tape and wondered if HDMI is another option for capturing from camera to computer. I see just about all computers now have HDMI so that would certainly open the door to many options. I shoot with a pair of FX1000's but then capture/ingest with a small Canon HD camcorder. All been working fine, just would like to upgrade computer to more ram and bigger hard drive.
Thanx all |

On my laptop, anyway, the HDMI is output only and my software (Premiere Pro) doesn't support HDMI input even if it did. YMMV.

Re: Ingest via HDMI if firewire not available?
As long as your system isn't Windows 8, you can still get PCI-E Firewire cards.
If it's a Laptop, if you still have Expresscard and you're not on Windows 8, you can still buy Expresscard Firewire cards as well. The reason why you need to avoid Windows 8 is because Firewire support ends in Windows 8. |
