Does the hdmi out work when the camcorder is in record mode? I would like to use the camera for live streaming.

Can I modify the question a bit? Does the HDMI output a signal when the camera is NOT recording? In other words, can it function as a "studio camera"?

I do not have a camcorder so I can not answer truthfully. I have used my unit several times with out any problem. Would recommend this unit to anyone. You might check with your camera manual or a camera store. Sorry I could not be more help.

Unfortunately I'm having the same issue. It continually records but it breaks as a 2 minutes video clips. I just got this cam not too long ago so I will have to figure out how to fix this problem and I'll let you know.

Just to let you know you're not alone in wondering about an external mic input. I have two high-quality wireless microphones and a lot of experience using them. I won't consider a camcorder if it doesn't have an external audio input. I am disappointed that you haven't received a reply. Good Luck!

Hi M. Michael, the mic is only compatible for use with camcorders that has the Active Interface Shoe wherein you can connect the receiver of the device. Thanks_Mitch

Barbara, unless someone else answers this question before I get home, I'll pull it out and see, but I certainly don't remember having to do anything. I have several camcorders, and I remember that one did not play sound back through the camcorder but did when moving it to DVD, etc., but don't remember if it was this one. I'll update when I get home. Just wanted to let you know that someone was checking into this for you! Edit: My wife tells me we no longer have this camcorder (we originally purchased it in 2007!) Sorry I couldn't help!

I just connected the mini hdmi to the camcorder and the other end of hdmi to the TV or your computer for editing. If you need the composite, go to this link it might be of some help? Http://www.ebay.com/gds/How-Do-I-Connect-My-Camcorder-to-My-TV-and-Share-Videos-/10000000177628260/g.html. My Canon was as good as new and 3 times less than the G10. Just does not have great resolution like the G10. Good Luck my friend

Yes, and it works nicely. Plug in a mic, and the camcorder asks you to select between microphone, headphones, or AV-out (for non-hdmi tvs); it can't automatically distinguish what is plugged in. If you leave the mic plugged in, you will have to answer this question each time the camcorder is powered on. I used a Sony ECM-DS30P Electret Condenser Digital Microphone and it sounded great on my large screen LCD TV.

Yes that is how it is being used by me now.We are using this converting full motion 1080 HD/SDI video to HDMI for use by our streaming computer with VidBlaster program installed. I am also using the Blackmagic Capture card with absolutely no problems with configuring or using; use Blackmagic if you want with out fear.

Yes! I haven't used it to record - only for watching live TV. I had to reset the channels a couple times to get rid of all the foreign channels I didn't want. It's reset the 1080i setting overnight a couple times and the transparency setting. So a couple glitches. The remote is large and easy to navigate and the HD picture quality is crisp, clean and clear. I paid $38 with shipping and am satisfied.

I can't find any way to do that. It seems to be set up to only record audio while recording video.

I have the same problem and it can be resolved by connecting the camcorder to the computer using usb. It will enable more features including video (AVCHD). It works both on XP and Windows 7 x64.

The device has an hdmi output. I would think it is not copy protected, but not sure about that. If not, I don't see why you couldn't record to hard disk if you have a video card with software that supports recording over hdmi.

Recorder only has HDMI upconvert output. No HDMI inputs. Has regular av cable input with option to use the s video connection. Upconvert gives a nice picture on the HDMI TV screen. If your wondering about recording in HDMI that cannot be done due to the inputs. Only records in SD but as I said the picture quality is quite nice viewing thru the HDMI output.

There is an hdmi mini out which I haven't used, so don't know if it would function the way you want but I'm thinking so. There is an external mic input as well as a headphone jack, though I tried a couple high end shotgun microphones only to get a horrible buzzing sound. The jack works just fine with a lapel mic I tested and a cheap external digital recorder I tried. When I called Sony to find out the tech specks on the jack, they told me it was proprietary info and left me with no help. The store I was working with have up as well helping me find a microphone that would work well with no buzzing. It's a nice camcorder if you can get a used one at a decent price, but for just a little more money there are some better choices. Best of luck on your purchase!

Plays back your vids beautifully on your HD TV directly from the camcorder, just make sure you use the correct input jacks on the TV. Won't record tv thru the jacks, as far as I can tell. In a pinch you can steady it on a tripod and point at the tv screen to record--comes out pretty good.

Yes it will allow playback of your footage and yes, the camera you're using will need to send the hdmi video signal during playback. Most all cameras do.
