The venerable FX1 is the first true prosumer HDV camcorder.
The pro model adds XLR inputs, but lens, chips, and images captured are identical.
HDV tape still is the cost leader for recording HD images. Shoot and go. (continue reading…)

This handy little item is a combination waveform, vectorscope and audio scope all in one. The little 4″ LCD is not much to crow about these days- it’s not OLED like a Sony Walkman or Samsung phone, but you can loop the output of this device to the screen of your choice (composite in and out).

So if you have a composite NTSC feed of your video, this portable device can measure it and give you calibrated IRE readings, vectors for calibrating bars or color charts and more. All this off any 12v supply (AC adaptor included.) (continue reading…)

Featuring a comprehensive backlit display, an easy-to-use menu system, a hard drive, and a removable, rechargeable battery, the Focus FS-4 is the perfect DTE companion for DV and HDV handheld shoots. Designed for use in even the roughest conditions, the FS-4 includes a six- or ten-second (model-dependent) electronic shock cache to ensure that you never lose footage. (continue reading…)

I’ve used the SE-800 to produce Flavors of America for many seasons. We do this with as many as four FireWire cameras in to the mixer, and then FireWire back out to a DVCAM deck. We compared this to component video through the Sony DFS-700 broadcast video mixer and the SE-800 won- hands down. Cleaner, sharper, more vibrant images. It is visually indistinguishable from the digital tape recorded in the camcorder itself. (continue reading…)

This is a great live/recorded sound mixer.
Sliders (not knobs) easily relay channel loudness.
Aux 3/4 bus makes this a 4-channel mixer.
Four aux buses (pre/post fader) make it even more versatile.

Got a big shoot with lots of people to track, then you need something better than a little receiver velcroed to the side of the camcorder. You need professional audio, amplified, directional, diversity antennas. You need easy and quick selection between hundreds of MHz to avoid TV stations, handheld radios, and more RF interference. This is where robust wireless audio systems like the Sony WRR-840 and WRR-820 really shine. Multiple outputs to feed multiple cameras, mixers, viewers, recorders. Easily adjustable everything.

Do you need a lighting grid in a home where there is no grid? Need a vertical post between floor and ceiling to hide a light where you can’t see a stand?
Then you need the Bogen / Manfrotto AutoPole.

For the quick dub of full size and MiniDV tapes to VHS/SVHS, this deck was the shizzle in 2000. Now used less and less, it still serves as a great feeder deck for the SD projects that come in to the office. (continue reading…)
