Cant see Video on Monitor
Hi I’m trying to play a Hvx200 video 720p 30 frames on a Monitor from FCP6.
I have a G5 2.7 FCP6 AJA IO LA
It plays ok on the Mac Monitor in the Canvas sequence viewer but not on my other Monitors. composite and component out.
I’m trying out a Panasonic LCD monitor
Could it be the Hard Drive speed?
Betacam footage plays ok on the monitors.
Only 1 sequence up.
I’ve played around with the FCP Prefs
could this be because I need a new driver from AJA or a HD AJA box?
I had this problem before when I tried to play uncompressed video.
Any clues appreciated
Thanks

YOu are trying to play HD footage out on an SD capture card. The AJA I/O LA is an SD card. You’ll need a Kona card or AJA I/O HD.

Thanks Shane I started to suspect that but I thought I might see it some how. So the big decision is which AJA and should I buy? and do I really need the next G5 intel? and when?
I’ve still got other MACs with Media 100s lying around and it seems a waste to keep buying. Timing is every thing. I plan on going into HD with the P2 system. Just DVCPROHD.
Thanks for your quick response.

Depends on your needs. Go to aja.com and see what all the models do. They all have different capabilities.
[peter hitchcock] “and do I really need the next G5 intel?”
Not really. They sell PCI-X cards…Kona 3X and Kona LH.

Thanks Shane I read your article on Matrox for monitoring. Hopefully I can do better with AJA
Cheers

Also, in a pinch, I think you may be able to monitor through the camera: FCP external video set to FW > 1394 > HVX200 component out, if you have analog input HD monitor.
