Guest Sacha Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 I have just shot a feature using the XL2. We shot at 24p. I want to make a backup of the master tapes via firewire. I have a Sony DSR-11 deck, but I can't seem to record 24p via firewire without glitches. The XL2 manual says to try using the RCA connections, but I would like to have a higher quality backup. Does anyone know how to do this, or what type of deck I can get to do this? Is there a way to do this without buying a second XL2 camera? Thanks.

Jay Gladwell Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 Just a guess, but could it be because the deck isn't capable of recording in 24p? Or is the general thought that the deck is simply recording 0s and 1s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Gladwell Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 Just checked... The deck needs to support 24p as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member David Cox Posted May 5, 2005 Premium Member Share Posted May 5, 2005 I could be wrong on this, but I am guessing that the camera is giving out its version of 24P, which is actually NTSC (24P with 3:2 pulldown inserted). Is it possible that when you try to play this back from your firewire device that it is playing back a true 24P (it has removed the 3:2 pulldown), which of course the VTR cannot record because it is expecting NTSC? If this is the case, the answer is to re-insert the 3:2 pulldown to send back an NTSC signal. That could be completely wrong though :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Gladwell Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 Actually, the best thing to do would be to play the tape on one XL2 and recording it onto a second XL2 using the same 24p setting. Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
