    I was hoping you'd address the cable issue! I've been loving the powerplay otherwise on my gl2! Thanks again for the hard work!

    With each winter that passes and the XM2 is on the shelf I worry that this year might be it's last. There is hope here though for sure but whether or not I will resort to this we shall see. You're doing gods work btw keep it up

    Great project. If you overheat cables, you change the capacitance, hence signal will be affected. Try wrapping a video cable over a hot radiator or pipe. You should see the signal degrade. It might also restore once it cools down.

    Have you had the problem: the PowerPlay is getting distorted color on the VX1? Im baffled. I just got my hands on one and now the video signal is messed up (colors, exposure). I plugged the RCA and AV in according to how you show it.... hmmm

    I have the Canon GL2 and have tried to connect it using firewire to 3 different Macs of different ages, and I can NOT get it to work. DO you have any suggestions? I love this mod you created and I watched the other videos too. I would just love to be able to at least copy over my old recordings. Any input would be appreciated!

    • @NEONAIRSHIP
      @NEONAIRSHIP  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I guess the firewire port on the camera might be broken? You can put the tapes in any other miniDV camcorder to transfer without affecting the quality - so id try that next

      There is a setting to turn off the icons. Hit the Menu button, got to ETC, go to display, and just click lcd. It should only display the icons on your lcd and not thru the power play or whatever you have plugged into the av ports.
