Sure wish someone would figure out something similar that extracts TC from
Firewire. Seattle is just not a Sony/Lanc type of town....almost all
Panasonic. Odd how certain geographic areas seem to all go one way or the
other. I can count on one hand the number of Sony small camera shoots I've
had in the last few years....even with small format HD, it's all HVX-200 in
Seattle.
