Sony HC-96E - possible to unlock NTSC? |
| Bigby posted 2009 Sep 27 17:01 |
| I have a Sony HC-96E camcorder. I am trying to "pass through" a NTSC signal from a HI-8 camcorder, so that I can capture the NTSC tape on my PC.
Is there a way to maybe unlock NTSC on this camcorder? |

| no - features like that are only available on a select few pro cameras and decks. |

| Why is this?
The Sony Hi-8 Camcorder can play NTSC (which I boought cheap and is over 7+ years old). I would have thought the one I have now, and was more expensive would have this feature. :evil: |

| You need would either need NTSC-to-PAL standards conversion or a capture device that will take analog NTSC from your Hi-8. As it is, the 2 camcorders do not have compatible signals. PAL system is based on a 50 cycle voltage current, running 25 frames per second, while NTSC is based on a 60 cycle current, running at 29.97fps. There are also resolution / aspect ratio mismatches. You cannot simply wire one camcorder to the other and do a frame-for-frame transfer.
And please stick with one thread. You started with this one: http://forum.videohelp.com/topic373482.html You do not need to start a new thread for the same general theme. It is bad form. |
