Shooting 50i on the pd150. Frame mode on the XL1.

I am currently shooting some stuff on good ol Mini DV on the Canon XL1 and Sony PD150 (both PAL models of the camera) and im looking to finish the material in NTSC 23.98p. No audio is needed, im just curious what is the best way in 2020 to convert PAL interlaced video to NTSC 24p Progressive with as minimal of resolution loss as possible? Heres my capture process. Capture using the Panasonic AJ HD1400 Deck via HD SDI blow up & AJA Kona 3 Card set at 1080i25 (some reason that capture card doesnt have a 1080i50 mode) Edit in FCP 7

Hello, I'm trying to track down a Canon XL mount relay lens for the Mini 35 series 300 or 400 adapter. If you or someone you know has one lying around collecting dust, please email me at digitaltproductions@gmail.com Thanks :)

SO EXCITED TO SEE MORE FROM YOU! :D

I'm trying to track one of these down. I saw one on ebay a few months ago but was unable to nab it. If you know where I could find one or have one collecting dust please email me at digitaltproductions@gmail.com Thanks

What about lensing? What are the biggest differences in Arri Primes and Panavision Primes or zooms?

So fantastic to see material that we all film for granted now on our iPhones done on the king of kings. Really wish I had the $$$ to do some "in the moment" work on 35mm but I'll stick with my F900R and Digizoom for now lol. Beautiful work!

It looks like you can not output Menu data on the F900R over HD SDI. Kind of a stupid (lack of a) feature on such a high end camera as you could do that on the original F900 both stock and panavision models. Strange.

Yeah Ive noticed that at OFF if you are tight on a subject with the digizoom, the detail is very film like but maybe a tad too soft. Wide shots need the detail on to some degree. How much im still trying to figure out. I like my detail, but i HATE the hard line video look.

I was interested to get a few opinions about this. Im using the Zeiss Digizoom 6-24mm so very sharp and fast glass... where should my detail settings rest to get the most out of the lens, sensor and HDCAM format? Ive been leaving it off but im curious to hear if anyone has used the detail settings with a lens as nice as the digizoom?

So i have the SD down converter option board installed so I guess I cant get Menu information over HD SDI. Bummer. I can still however get a clean feed out the other HD SDI port for my Small HD so thats good at least.

Thank You! B&H https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/214528-REG/Sony_BCT94HDL_BCT_94HDL_HDCAM_Videocassette.html

Because I enjoy shooting tape and hate external recorders, whats it to you?

Well whoever you spoke too was wrong because there are 2 HD SDI BNCs built right into the 900R with clean outs. My question was getting the menus to show via the SDI. Im recording tape and using the HD SDI as a monitor out and would love to have the menu data on there so im not always looking into the viewfinder to change settings. Miranda boxes are completely pointless for the 900R.

I know this sounds like a stupid question, esp coming from me given my experience but, for whatever reason on my F900R, I cant figure out how to get the menus to display over the HD SDI port. Never had an issue with such a simple task on any of my cameras, even the orig f900, but the 900R is truly stumping me on this and I feel like a moron. Anyone know how to get this working? Thanks
