  External Monitor with HDV and FCP 5

  Posted by H Brian on July 13, 2005 at 2:57 am

  So I got my sony Z1 and deck last week. I’m now finding that FCP 5 does bot support external monitoring of HDV. I have a Sony LCD Luma monitor. The HDV looks great when played directly into the monitor. For obvious reasons I’d like to monitor my HDV timelines on this sweet monitor.
  So what are my options? Do I need a Kona 2?
  If so can I go component out into my monitor or will I need to go HD-SDI?

  A KONA card just seems like an expensive solution to a seemingly simple problem.

  Thanks Brian

  I’m not sure if this will work but you should be able to feed the HDV signal via Firewire out of your G5 into the Z1 and then take the analog output to feed it to the Luma LCD monitor. This will of course tie down your Z1 camera as it is being used as a converter.

  If not you can get the Kona2 card and use it to playback your HDV timeline to your Luma LCD monitor in HD resolution.
