Premium Member Alessandro Machi Posted March 9, 2014 Premium Member Share Posted March 9, 2014 Any suggestions for a consumer HD camera that has analog video outputs, preferably S-VHS. Just want to get a bit more life out of my betacam sp edit set-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Phil Rhodes Posted March 9, 2014 Premium Member Share Posted March 9, 2014 You can pick up HDMI or SDI downconverters reasonably easily. But really, do you want to be shooting HD and finishing it as SD, these days? P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P I find I can get ok results when I start with SD and stay SD, so I am presuming equivalent or better if I start with HD, no? It's mainly for youtube.

Premium Member Phil Rhodes Posted March 10, 2014 Premium Member Share Posted March 10, 2014 I think - but don't know from firsthand experience - that something like a Blackmagic "SDI to analog" mini-converter would do it. It does downconversion. It'll give you component, which presumably your SP gear supports. If you need HDMI, you may need to put an HDMI to SDI on the front. I don't think they do a direct HDMI to component, but I suspect someone does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
