Nick,
I've spoken with the Future Video people many times. I suggested (last
year) that they output their edit list in standard (CMX) format), so that
it is compatible with industry (not to mention my EDLP program; oops, too
late, just mentioned it). I believe they have done that.
Their system looks pretty good, from what I've seen at shows. I heard
from Panasonic that with the time code option, there are problems;
something about recording time code on the HD track is not a good idea. I
haven't checked into it because so far none of my clients are interested in
it. They usually want frame-accuracy.
At the last video expo (here in L.A.), Panasonic was showing a
modification to the 1960 made by a third-party that puts time code and a
serial port in it. They've promised to send me the specs and a demo unit
when available; probably within six weeks.
