Local (Chicago or wherever) HD100 Transfer to DigiBeta? at DVinfo.net

Hi all.

I've had my HD100 rented for the past month to a corporate client for a national campaign. They're using it as a portable and affordable B-roll cam to a Varicam. Very good results, and the camera has performed well overall.

All has been good, until they flew to Vegas last week. For some reason the bag had to end up checked plane-side, and it really got its ass kicked (anton mount cracked, pulled the battery mounting screws out of the chassis, and unfortunately, the tape mechanism is locked up and pretty hosed (can't open or close - no tapes trapped).

Obviously, I'll need to send my camera in for repairs, which they'll have to cover.

In the meantime, can anyone do a transfer to Digibeta (they were simply dubbing out of the camera to DigiBeta via a component cable - yes, yes, I know, I know - potentially lossy), but the results were fine for them, and it's necessary based on their editing platform.

Otherwise, is anyone interested in renting their JVC deck or camera for around 4 hours worth of transfer/dubs, so they can dub at their facility?

I'm in mid-state Illinois, but I'm sure they'd take reputable offers from wherever.

Shoot me an email if you're interested - I can pass it on to the client while mine is getting fixed.

Thanks,

Shawn Alyasiri
