Watching HDV on a monitor
Greetings all,
I’m working on my first HDV project. I want to be able to watch my timeline though a monitor. I have a SD monitor plugged into a ADVC-300, and thats plugged into Firewire from my G4.
I slecect the timeline, refresh the A/V and select View->Firewire->AppleNTSC.
The timeline shows on my monitor, but it’s a still photo untill I stop the timeline, and it catches up, but it never goes motion.. only shows a still photo of where the timeline is stoped, or was stoped..
Do I need a special graphics card? Another monitor, HD monitor only?
Someway that I can view the HDV footage from a stand monitor?
Any help.. Thanks!

YOu cannot monitor HDV like you can with DV. To monitor HDV, you will need an HD capture card and an HD monitor. OR…if the HD Capture card has output for SD monitoring, you can use an SD monitor, but it won’t be a true representation of the HD image.

HD and SD are very different size color and frame rates are all different.
you need a second Computer display at the very least.
HD graphics cards like the Kona LH that can do a down convert to SD is really the only option for color correction and realtime playback.gary adcock
