Q: 1. Is it possible to quickly switch between clip playback and HDMI Passthrough? I have an ATEM Mino Pro which has 4 inputs, I have a 4 camera shoot, I'd like to be able to run one camera into the HDMI input of the hyperdeck, and then run the hyperdeck into the ATEM. I'd then like to just output the HDMI signal, but then when I need to play a clip either trigger it from the device or ATEM software control and have it switch. Then switch the HDMI output back to the input feed.

A: When in record mode the camera signal will be shown. And simply pressing Play on the Hyperdeck Shuttle will start playing clips.

Q: 2. Does it send clean 1080p 422 HD signal thru the hdmi port for use in external recorder like atomos ninja 2 or assassin?

Q: 5. Can you recommend a mic I can use for general outdoor (nature) video shoots. Most of my video recording is done outdoors using natural sound? So far the built in mic has been adequate, but wondering if there's a better alternative. Thanks.

A: Hi Carl,I highly recommend the Audio-Technica AT-8022 for the reasons you mentioned. That is the mic that B&H recommended to me. Night and day difference from the built-in mic. I am a professional musician and use that exact camera-mic setup to record my live performances. People have told me that it feels like you are actually there. It is a stereo mic with a nice X-Y pattern to capture enough ambient noise. It has a more focused sound field the closer it is placed to the subject and gets wider as distance increases. All the necessary accessories are included for camera mounting. Well worth the money. If you would like to hear what the mic sounds like, please visit my YouTube channel: Kevin Baricar. Hope this helps your decision.-Kevin

Q: 10. I already own a Shure SM57 and SM58. Can I use either of these mikes with the XF100?

A: The XF100 includes an XLR and a 1/8 mini plug input for audio. It has a very professional audio setup and it's very versatile. As long as you use one of those connectors (which are the standard), you should have no problem plugging in.
