well just wired it in and - i can now monitor my hd timeline on both second pc monitor AND my sony 16:9 sd reference monitor - ah the joys of seeing the colour differences....

only thing i have to wonder about is the m15 not always being detected in hd mode - even when it tells me there's no device connected, if i change capture to sd, there it is?

anyway, worth the money....

Certain you haven't got the VCR in Auto rather than HDV mode?

In auto it seems to present itself as a SD device until you play a HDV tape in it, then it switches the interface to HDV. Good way to drive other devices like Vegas and FCP nuts.

bob, where would i (and a lot of other people too) be without you!!

tried it again - no show. put a hdv tape in, pressed play, bingo, recognised. you're quite right - what a way to confuse nle's, let alone people.

btw, does it work the same way with hdv split? i know, suck it and see, but i'm working on a project and was just wondering if you, or anyone else knew before i started experimenting, and perhps, panic'ing?

Never used HDV split so I guess you'll have to suck it and see :)

It is a great deck though, I thought the DSR-11 was great but this one is the bees knees. When ever I hit rewind with the DSR-11 with a MiniDV tape I always had that uneasy feeling in my stomach having had a couple of tapes go snapo. With the M15 all is as smooth as silk.
