@Laurencia7 AV-out to AV-in via adaptors
@rickvanman thanks
@rickvanman shouls i get that or the sony trv900
ou are awesome dude sometimes the minimal is always overseen. Wow I have been breaking my head. Thanks !! KNow I am trying to figure out how to connect an external mic to a cam that does not have one.
Fracking Brilliant solution, the ability to vid monitor from the other side is a stupendous bonus !
That was great thanks.
I have a Panasonic PV-GS300 camcorder. How do I record my keyboard music directly into the cam from my keyboard or mixer and quit using the ‘room’ sound? -without it being too ‘hot’ and distorted? thx
@ebufford Not 100% sure although I would suspect some trial and error will be required.
What kind of camera are you using ? Thanks.
why not just splitting the mic receiver output ?
@rickvanman How much was the mattebox and where did you get yours?
Cheers
@chrisbailey42 thecinecity (dot) c0 m – theye pretty expensive for what they are though
@ebufford not completely familiar with the camera but if it does have a mic input jack, connect with the appropriate cable the output of the mixer or keyboard with the mic input on the camera and you should hear the keyboard directly instead of hearing the sound of it where you are from speakers for example.
@ebufford I’ve got exactly the same problem! But i’ve now figured that I’m going to go the way of the top of the pops miming thing and record the audio direct to PC first. Then I mime several takes of me playing guitar/keyboard with a different camera angle each time and edit and sync it all afterwards in video editing software.
Otherwise, I’m afraid for recording live, I don’t know!
@ebufford as I remembered ( I had one) , the Panasonic GS300 doesn’t have a Mic input and the AV connexion is only an Output … sorry but you cannot plug anything directly inside the camera.
My advise is to record a wav or aiff of your music and synchronize it with a software.
This is a good trick but watch that the AV connector is not under the camera or only available on a plastic socket… it happens on cheap camera or You will not be able to mount the camera and to plug the AV.
@ebufford hi i have seen what your camcorder looks like i do lots of audio for my radio station etc the best bet is too plug the keyboard into the mic/aux port and control the master and seperate channel input so there is no distortion (use a ground loop isolator if you have one) then with the master out plug it into your camcorder with (3.5mm to phono) if that is your mixer output ports let me know if you have any trouble and i will do a video just for you… thanks
I noticed you are using an exernal mic pre-amp, which would normaly have a 3.5mm male jack out, in that case why not simply used a 3.5mm female-to-2 female 3.5mm jack, then use one for the headphone, and another for the camera, or just use a RCA to 3.5mm jack from the AV out ? but I like the point allowing to walk backwards for such a low price!
Good tip thanks.
i can do it with a mirrors
Rick your amazing you such a cheapskate like me pmsl, brilliant idea the mini casio tv awsome well done yet again
how do you connect the tv to the camcorder rick?
@RedSpectrumPictures By marrying the camcorder AV leads with the TV leads. You might have to use various connectors depending on the connections you have
@rickvanman
on my panasonic camcorder i have an AV multi connector video output output and an av multi connector audio output (line), im not fully sure what cables i will need, what do you need to plug into the tv, for example a red or white cable?
@rickvanman
my camcorder has HDMI outputs, would these work with the casio tv?
@RedSpectrumPictures hmm tricky one – i’m guessing probably not.
