  1. Don't be fooled Tyler, the 416 video tap is also pretty low quality and hardly usable if you're shooting in bright settings. But the conversion isn't that tricky, I use a $40 box I bought at an electronics store (I actually have a handful of them). The DV clamshells are nice but a little impractical for our age. I usually go into an Odyssey. Being in the HD world opens you up to a lot of great modern accessories, and the ability to work with many steadicam op's sleds. Also most rental houses don't really have the older stuff anymore.
  2. Those video taps generally send out a pretty low quality SD video signal. On my 416 to make it work with a Teradek, I bought a cheap Component to HDMI box, USB powered with a small brick battery, that we scale the signal up for steadicam and director. You could easily then use something like an Atomos to record your footage. It's not good enough to focus with, or really to judge lighting, typically.
