Capture from SonyHDV deck… audio????/
I have the new Kona card LHe. I can capture the video from the deck. However the audio out of the Sony is RCA? Do I want to convert from RCA to XLR(kona pigtail) or bring audio in through firewire? If I use the firewire, what settings are you using in FCP 6 for capturing the audio diff from video?
thanks
Is that the color red you want to use?

Is there a reason you don’t want to get both Audio and Video out of the firewire?

I would say you should give Jerry a call over at AJA tech support and yes convert the RCA into the Kona. But if you are converting the HDV to another format then here is a suggestion to keep the audio and video together digitally. Depending on the deck/camera you have you might consider one more component from Convergent Design, if your deck/camera has the HDMI port then look into the Convergent Design Nano Connect or the HD-Connect MI into your Kona via HD-SDI,
or if you only have firewire and component then look into the HD-Connect SI that uses the firewire out converting into HD-SDI into the Kona. When you use the component out you are separating the audio & video and the video is converted from digital to analogue then back to digital and this is not a good solution.Each of these solutions converts the 1440x1080i HDV into an uncompressed HD-SDI 1920x1080i 4:2:2 signal.
Good Luck

That converter box will do everything you need to properly convert your analog HD video to a proper digital HD signal. It comes with video and audio inputs. You only addition would have to be XLR female to RCA male cables.
I’ve gone thru everything you are going thru and this is the best and easiest option for doing exactly what you need.

That what I was thinking to use the XLRs. I was just wanting to make sure that the solution that everyone was using. do you use the firewire for anything at all?

machine control…
That is the only thing I use it for. Personally, I don’t like to use HDV natively.

My workflow is to shoot V1 to tape, then capture using the M25U deck using HDMI out and firewire out for timecode and deck control to the Convergent Design HD-Connect MI then out HD-SDI into the Kona LHe and capture as either Pro Rez or DVC Pro HD in 720p 60 (59:94). Also the RS-422 deck control is used from the MI and the firewire supplies the MI with DV basic control. The M25u can be set to output in 1080i, 720p or 4:3 SD all uncompressed and the CD MI can also force these same formats allowing you to cross convert.

Mine is very similar except that I use the AJA HD10AVA with my Sony M10U deck into my Kona 3, capturing into ProRes 422 or DVCPRO HD 1080i29.97.

Through the AJA HD10AVA. Its a video and audio converter that converts from analog HD video and audio to HD-SDI. Its connected via RCA to XLR cables.
