Novice question: Can a HDMI cable be connected to this camera to stream live feed to big screen TV? Also: Does it have external mic connection? TY

Yes to the HDMI. External mike -I don't think so. The built in mike works great. Overall I've found this camcorder to be superb. Very easy to use, with responsive controls. I use a 32GB card in mine and when we're at the beach I set it on a small tripod to film our outing and the kids playing.

It has an hdmi and an AV connection. I do not know if both will send a live signal. most llikely yes. There is no external mic jack. There are stereo mics built-in and the sound is very good up close with no echos. If there was an external jack this could be a very versitile camera. Picture quality is great. I use it for company product Internet demos

Hi, yes you may be able to connect an external microphone to this Sony camera. This unit has microphone jack (stereo mini plug). -Ely

It is a TV. I think you could connect any camera to it if you had the right cable (including coax, HDMI, USB)

Hi Amazonadicto, video output will be from the HDMI connection. Which means that you can connect it on a TV with HDMI, and can create a live view on the TV while doing a recording. -Ely

Yes it has a HDMI out connection. It streams or allows you to download to your tablet or phone. It does not act as an cable box. It connects via internet to your other Tivo in your case a Roamio (my case too) allowing you to stream recorded and live TV.

I haven't tried taking live output through hdmi, but all of the videos I have recorded are clean with no screen menus or time stamp. That seems to be the default, so as far as I know the answer is yes.

You would use one of the audio inputs for plugging in this microphone. Most systems have a setting for mapping which microphone input goes to which camera. You would use the output to output audio to an external speaker for live playback of audio. You would have to have a speaker with an rca type connector to do so.

There is a cable that comes with the Camera, the connection to the Camera is proprietary (not universal). The out connections are regular USB and those White/Yellow/Red cables you hook up to a TV.

This will not allow you to capture from an HDCP enabled source, if that helps. I use it to capture PC gameplay. I run HDMI out of the GPU to an active HDMI splitter; one HDMI cord then runs to my monitor and a second into the capture card.

If i am not wrong the camera does not have a Mic input, only the built in. You shoul be able to capture some natural sound, if you need better audio quality i would recomend another camera.

you need some kind of outside device. It doesnt record its just plug in, turn on the tv and you have live feed.

It doesn't have an HDMI port. It has a Micro USB port so I'm thinking it won't connect to HDMI input on TV.

From what I can tell, there is no external mic input on this camera. It only has AV outputs, HDMI output, and USB output. You can only use the internal mic. That being said, the internal mic is pretty good, and even gets decent sound when I record my band with it, at high volume levels. It doesn't overload the mic, which means it has some kind of good auto level control.

As far as I know, it doesn't live stream. I upload to my computer and edit. The import cable/port is not a very good design on this camera. I bought 8 of these cameras for my classroom and 2 1/2 years later, only 2 of them will import.

Hi,I've just tested the camera and for my needs it ok. I have logitech pro 9000 on my desktop that can stream hd video but the picture quality depends on internet connection. I use my laptop when I travel and I've never connected to network that can stream hd video. So the picture was good enough to be seen, the sound is ok. To sum up: For communication via video is good enough. If you want crisp picture you'll want to buy extra camera.

Yes. Live video can stream through HDMI output. You will use this feature to focus the lense if you change it out.
