tape compatability question at DVinfo.net

Darian Pasika · July 28th, 2005, 10:21 AM

if i shot footage on a dvx100a in 24p, could i take that tape and put it in a panasonic pv gs150, a lower end camera, and use that as my deck? would i have problems using that to capture footage into premiere pro?

i'm contemplating buying a dvx100a and was wondering about needing a deck and was thinking of simply getting a cheaper secondary camera to use as an extra camera and as a deck.

any insight would be greatly appreciated.

You can do exactly that, yes. Any DV camera can be used to play back DVX footage, regardless of what mode the DVX was in when you shot it.
