PD 150 as a camera at DVinfo.net

My first contact.

I videotape depositions. Can I use the PD150 as a stand alone camera and output the image including date/time info to other sources (VHS SVHS)?

Sure you can, but that will decrease the quality big time...

Actually, the quality will be no worse than using a VHS camera. Everyone I know that does dispos does them in VHS, some use this very same system including using 150's, so you should be fine.
I've never had a problem doing this either when I have to do the vhs master thing at say a seminar. Like a dispo, I'm locked down and plugged in and the quality is fine. Remember, the camera here is recording 1st generation to the VHS.
