Can FCP capture H1 HDV footage without a card?
I want to capture at the highest rez and colorspace (4:2.2) possible.
There is an SDI output on the XLH1, but someone said there’s a
way to capture using HDMI.I’d like to get the correct way to capture dialed in before I make
all the RIGHT purchases.Thnx.

A Decklink or Kona (HD SDI) with the XL H1 is the best way to go. Firstly it is straight out of the camera, into FCP without needing a converter.
Secondly you can monitor back out through the card in HD to a suitable external monitor. The cost of a Decklink HD SDI card is likely to be similar to an HDMI card plus an SDI to HDMI converter. Don’t know the Kona cards but they are highly recommended here at the cow too.
