Just so that you're aware, the PDW700 doesn't carry the CineAlta logo, so it doesn't do 24p. I know, I know.......It was designed with ENG work in mind. - Don | | | | |

We're looking for the same product - Timecode De-embedder - for the Sony EX1. Don't understand how this camera gets the CineAlta moniker when they make it so difficult to configure it for double system sound! | | | | |
