  HDV monitoring via firewire

  Posted by Motbot on August 3, 2005 at 5:10 pm

  I’m trying to view my HDV sequence by (in theory) running through my Sony HDV deck via firewire, then out to my monitor from the deck via serial digital.

  However, i dont seem to have “Firewire” and an option in “Video Playback” – seemingly only Blackmagic options. My AV Settings are, Sequence: HDV-1080i60, Capture: HDV, Device Control: Sony HDV Firewire.

  Any suggestions?

  I’m on a FC5 on a dual 2.3

  Shane’s Stock Answer #25 – HDV external Monitor Viewing

  To view HDV on an external monitor you are going to need to purchase a capture card, like the ones Decklink offers. They have this to say:

  “Blackmagic DeckLink v5.0 includes a host of new features including full support for all the new features in Final Cut Pro HD

  I don’t think it is the issue of not enough CPU muscle. I think it is the huge decoding delay on the deck’s side that prevented FW preview.
