Either my Sony HVZ-Z1 camcorder, or my Sony DSR-11 deck.

I didn't know there were different versions of firewire, but a firewire to Thunderbolt adapter does exist from Apple.

I'm not sure I understand when you say "newer devices want progressive". The Camlink accepts 1080i natively; most NLEs etc can also work with progressive footage, not to mention that most broadcast...

Those were the settings I used (without a TBC, albeit) and got very bad timing. I don't think my Live2 is maintaining audio+video sync.

But why am I seeing these on a random basis? At a scene that had some inserted frames, after simply rewinding and re-playing, it seems to be fine.
