There is a glimmer of hope in our search for a low cost solution to stereoscopic video capture. One of the technicians at Concordia found the Canon Vixia HF S200 camcorder which can record progressive (24p) video in HD and has a LANC terminal. With any luck they will be better synced than the TG1s. Having progressive recording means faster motion (like sports which we've been recording) will be better quality.
We haven't addressed the issue of post-processing at all. I suspect this will be another hurdle. With the TG1 footage we ran into a lot of codec and audio issues which never really got resolved. The Canons probably record in AVCHD just like the Sonys. Hopefully the tools got smarter in the interim.
That's it for today. Just an equipment update. I've been busy planning for the stereoscopic tech session happening on Tuesday in the lab. Here's to hoping everything comes together.
A song for this post.
