Has anyone in the Vegas camp had a chance to play with this? I am curious - it sounds nice on paper. Maybe once NAB goers play with it there will be more - how does it interface with Vegas? (Or the upcoming Vegas?)
From the breakdown:
Recording
The CU-VH1's recording capabilities include digital-to-digital HD, SD and DV recording to and from video equipment and PCs. Its i.LINK interface allows digital-to-digital dubbing between the CU-VH1 and HD cameras and decks (D-VHS). The i.LINK connection also allows HD and SD MPEG-2 material to be transferred between the CU-VH1 and a PC for playback or non-linear MPEG-2 editing. DV recordings and digital stills are transferred through i.LINK as well.
Built-in digital-to-analog and analog-to-digital conversion allows easy dubbing between digital and analog sources. S-Video, composite and audio connectors function as both inputs and outputs, allowing HD/SD or DV sources to be dubbed from the CU-VH1 to an NTSC deck or analog material dubbed from an NTSC source onto Mini DV in the CU-VH1. Component video outputs allow dubbing from the CU-VH1 to a professional deck.
Playback
For playback, the new CU-VH1 is extremely versatile. It will play back signals recorded in 720/30p (MPEG-2), 480/60p (MPEG-2) and 480/60i (DV). This includes any footage shot with either of JVC's two HD camcorders -- the GR-HD1 and JY-HD10. It includes up- and down-conversion so that HD recordings can be viewed on virtually any television or monitor. It frame doubles 30 frames-per-second 720/30p HD recordings for viewing on progressive 720/60p analog HD monitors, or converts 480/60p or 720/30p signals to 1080/60i HD. The player/recorder also down-converts to 480/60p or 480/60i for playback on progressive or NTSC monitors. 16:9 HD, SD or DV footage can be played in 16:9 or 4:3 letterbox modes. All material is output on component analog connectors and down-converted or NTSC material is available on the S-Video or composite outputs
