SAINT-LAURENT, CANADA - At NAB, Miranda (www.miranda.com) will show its new camera-mounted DVC-800 downconverter and DV encoder. The tools are designed to simplify on-set HDTV acquisition monitoring, rough cut DV editing and the preparation of dailies.
The compact interface operates with Sony HDCAM and Panasonic AJ-HDC27A cameras, and mounts between the camera and its battery. The DVC-800 provides HD-SDI, SDI and composite outputs, as well as an IEEE-1394 interface with DV-encoded video and audio for direct interfacing with DV disk drives or laptop-based editing systems.
