  Posted by Isaac Orcino on January 24, 2007 at 9:36 pm

  Hello everyone, I’m having a little problem here and coulndn’t find anything.
  I’m working on a project with HDV using SONY HVRM15U to capture the videos, but i’m not obtaining preview through the deck when playing from FCP.
  is there something I need to do. I’ve tried many things but no success.
  Thanks.

  Make sure the iLink is not set to downconvert

  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 Matrox, Decklink or AJA offer. They will both play out HDV in real time, and they both downconvert the image so that you can play it on a standard def monitor.

  HDV cannot be played out of FCP via Firewire because it’s Long GOP structure is too taxing on your processors to spare the system resources needed to drive an external monitor.

  The best option you have is the Matrox MXO…$1000. Connects via DVI and can send a signal to an Apple Cinema Display for true broadcast HD monitoring.
