Exciting times for us tape users. Hopefully the units will be available here in NZ in the next few months. Will have to chase up the local supplier.

How do you keep recording to CF card while you're changing tapes?

I have an XLh1 and would like to mount it on the rear accesorry plate myself but am not sure exactly how to pull that off until I have one in hand. Regardless.....let us know how it goes. I just know that I personally would not want to mount that on my H1 at the accessory shoe as the weight distribution is already whack. Peace. |

Yeah you just fire up fcp's log and transfer once you've installed sony's plugin and it's a very quick rewrap process to bring it in. I'm almost positive it's just rewrapping and not transcoding which is why it's so quick.

For your bracket the unit has a 1/4 20(I think) screw hole on the bottom so you just need some kind of "U" shaped bracket for the back of your XL and the other end can go underneath the mrc1k with the non-opening side touching the XLH1. Essentially what I'm picturing is the recording unit on it's side with the battery facing your right ear and the recorder's interface facing towards your outside right side since the mrc1 opens on the left side to put in CF cards in. So if I were you I'd make the bracket with the the right side of recorder facing the back of the XLH1 so you can both put in cards and change batteries easily. |

For anyone wanting to know the exact process of making it work with the A1 here it is:
So record to card only this is my process: - In the A1's menu so "System Setup ---> DVControl ON" - Connect the firewire cable between the A1 and the MRC1K - Turn on the MRC1K throw in your CF card (it won't let you get to the MRC1K's menu without a card in it) and go press the MENU button - Now go "SETTING ----> CAMLINK SEL" - Choose "SYNCHRO" - Now on the A1 you should see a green box next to "DVCONTROL" - Your now able to control the recording with the A1's record buttons and don't need to shoot tape at the same time That's all there is to it. Once it's set once you don't need to do it again. Just connect the two and turn the MRC1K and you're ready to go. I may to a little youtube vid about it or something. |
