HDV FROM "S"4000Pro to CANON XHA-1

[LouBruno]

I had a few inquiries this morning in my private e-mail on how to transfer HDV to the CANON XHA-1. I now have the Canon XHA-1S which should be similar to the prior CANON XHA-1. I admit, CANON really buried this menu and it is not easy to find. Here is the procedure in transferring HDV to the CANON XHA-1. I also suggest that you place a few seconds of black at the beginning and end of your Storyboard:

Put the camera in PLAY mode

Open menu

Go to SIGNAL SETUP

SELECT TIMECODE

CONNECT CAMERA TO YOUR 4000

POWER-UP YOUR 4000

USE YOUR WIRELESS REMOTE

PRESS REC PAUSE BUTTON ON WIRELESS

OR

PRESS BOTH RECORD AND PAUSE ON THE CAMERA AT THE SAME TIME

CAMERA WILL GO INTO A STANDBY/RECORD MODE

START THE S4000

PRESS the PAUSE BUTTON ON THE CAMERA OR REMOTE

PRESS STOP BUTTON ON ABOVE WHEN FINISHED.

NOTE: INSTEAD OF USING PAUSE AND RECORD TOGETHER YOU CAN USE JUST THE RECORD BUTTON BUT YOU WILL NOT PARK THE TAPE AS THE TAPE WILL START ROLLING.
