Presented by Chuck RobertsSpecial Handout Presentation Slides One of the topics of this discussion was the conversion of older video images (VHS tape) to digital. Member Bill Ackerman described a Sony Digital Video Camera Recorder he uses for analog to digital conversion - a Model No. DCR-TRV38. In the manual under the section "Viewing Images With A Computer" it is identified as: "CAPTURING IMAGES FROM AN ANALOG VIDEO UNIT ON A COMPUTER" - Signal convert function.
This camera allows the user to connect an analog video source to the camera; it is converted by the camera electronics to a digital video output stream out the firewire connection, which can be transferred to a computer for a recording and further processing. It is not necessary to "record" this digital stream on the camera's media to obtain the conversion function.
