How are you getting the signal into FCP? Routing it thru a DV camera or deck? If so, then it will only see it at DV resolution…because that is what those decks feed.

I am routing it through a canopus ADVC110. Do you think this is the problem?
Thing is that the firewire ports on the back of the HD box seem to be disabled (that’s what the cable company rep said…).
Otherwise would a direct firewier connection avoid this problem? -
[Quentin Block] “I am routing it through a canopus ADVC110. Do you think this is the problem?”
Yes. The Canopus box sends out a DV signal. So that is what you are capturing. It cannot send out an HD signal.
You need an HD capture card to do this.

maybe my new 24″ iMac with iMovie HD is equipped with the card that I need?
It seems to imply that I can capture HD… -
Nope…sorry. The iMac has no such card, and in fact, one cannot be installed. That is the drawback to an iMac. You can’t install capture cards. There are Standard Def ones that work for it (AJA I/O), they they don’t do HD. iMovie HD only works with HDV footage…captured via firewire.
If you can’t capture it via firewire, then you can’t capture it.
