DV IN/OUT - Terminal (i.LINK)

[Kidson]

The DV IN/OUT on my Panasonic NV-DX110 has packed up. What is the cheapest 'kit' I can purchase into which I can place my recorded Mini DV Tape and then export the content into my Apple computer?

A new MiniDV camcorder...

There is no other affordable solution which will play a DV tape (DV tape decks are rare and cost more than a camcorder).

If you use the analogue output from your current camcorder there would be other options, you could use something like this to convert the analogue back to DV

but obviously keeping it DV all the way is better.

It's likely to be a dodgy connection so it would be worth your while at least getting an estimate for repair from Panasonic (unless you're looking for an excuse to get a new cam )
