NTSC to PAL via firewire
Does anyone know what result you will get if you send info from an NTSC unit to a PAL unit via firewire? I am familiar with some of the differences , but will any data be transerred at all?

NTSC to PAL
Must admit that I have not tried to do that myself but I will bet that you end up with a nice black and white piece of tape.
I am over hear in Europe (PAL-land) and of course all of the American stuff that comes over here is NTSC... If you don't have a multi system that will switch between NTSC and PAL, you usually get a viewable picture but it is black and white. |

Francis, what do you mean by a unit? Camcorder?...VCR?... DV>analog convertor? Do you intend to record or just visualize(display)?

No way without converter
As far as i know there are three big differences between DV PAL and NTSC frame rate 50/60 number of lines 625/525 sampling scheme 4:2:0/4:1:1 PAL uses 12 tracks on tape for writing 1 frame, NTSC uses 10. regards, Margus |
