    I've been using the AS200V which is much like the AS20, the connections on the bottom and no mount when plugged in. It was cool to see the X3000 solves both of these problems(always a huge headache), thanks for the tip!

    I'm using a Chinese made VIAU sdi camera and pretty happy with it. It just cost me about $150 and I believe it is a good deal. It has a 2.8mm-12mm zoom lens (not servo zoom) and can output 1080p/i sdi signal with many frame rate choices. It also did well in low light. The only con is the 12V 1A power, that means I can't use any normal power banks for phones to power it.

    We have just bought our first used Sony Fdr X1000v as a 3rd camera option ( our main cameras are Sony Z7s). We run everything through Atomos SSD recorders (Ninja Blade or Samauri in 1080p) for recorded footage or OBS for live... currently we can only confirm the x1000 and x3000 have a clean output. Do you know which older cams also have that so important clean output as Sony do not list this information in the specs!... also I notice Ragecams do some interesting lens mods to remove the wide angle picture, have you tried any?

    What about latency? I don't have much problems with connecting my gopro (it uses EDID to set output format, so if plugged in to ATEM via HDMI works ok, if using SDI converters I need to have an EDID emulator), but it's lagging 3-4 frames over my Sony and Panasonic camcorders, and it's very noticeable when using it for drums on concerts and the like.
    Thanks for the video.

      That's a little too complicated to get into in a simple RUclips comment. But if you're using cameras with HDMI outputs, take a look at the brand-new Blackmagic Design ATEM Mini Pro. It has HDMI inputs and can stream directly to most online services, all in one device.

    So I have a Sony HDR-AS300 action cam and I would like to use it as a webcam because its all I have at the moment and all the webcams online are sold out. I'd be using it to record/stream a drumset for twitch. What connections would I need to make it work? Is it Micro HDMI to HDMI and i just plug it into my computer? Or do I need an HDMI to USB converter to do that?

    • @djp_video
      @djp_video  4 года назад +1

      Computers don't come with HDMI inputs so you'll have to add some kind of capture device. The easiest way to connect is over USB. Once you have that you can connect the Micro HDMI output of your camera to the HDMI input on your capture device using an appropriate cable.

    Hi, what output connection, do you use, to hook it up as a webcam? Either the HDMI port, or the usb. I own the FDR X3000, but I also have the previous generation HDR AS 100V , and would like to use it as a webcam . Also, I noticed that on the right side of the X3000 cam, there appears to be slots, near the lens of the camera, that mine doesn't have. Is this a redesign, by Sony, or did you put those slots in the camera yourself? I know that they have had problems with overheating, when the resolution is set to 4k,although I mostly shoot in 1080p60. Thanks for any info that you can give me.

    My production company/truck does events for ESPN and CBS Sports.
    The Marshall CV series cameras are the only POV style cameras we're allowed to use. HD-SDI out, multiple lens options, can't go wrong.
    Why mess with a HDMI/SDI converters, and USB power supplies when you can get HD-SDI straight out, with a 12V DC power supply. Unbelievably simple, easy.

      Those, of course, would be ideal. When you need an actual action camera with its own battery and whatnot (or recording, or stabilization, or 4K), it's nice to have something that serves dual-purpose.
