DVC ProHD or HDV monitoring
Hi Cows…. I have recently been doing some work with DVCProHD and HDV on a few different FC systems. I recently brought some work into my home studio and find that I can’t monitor though my Panasonic DV deck in realtime. I can see frames clearly when I stop playback, but they won’t play realtime.
Is this normal? I have used a few different SD codecs and monitoredthem fine (I think)… any thoughts?
Thanks!

Jason,
Displaying HD sources through a DV deck requires a down-conversion on the fly, that’s what people spend $$$$$ on HD capture cards to do.

I think I had a freak out moment, so I apologize for the rather obvious post. I guess it’s time to spend some cash….
Thanks for the response, and again, sorry for being a temporary dolt!

Matrox MXO is perfect for this. Since you already captured via firewire, all you need is output, and this does that, and well. Broadcast colors on an Apple Cinema Display or Dell 2407.

You can send it to your Apple Cinema display or whatever monitor is connected to your DVI out by going to view>video playback>digital cinema display-fullscreen, and this won’t cost you a cent.

That’s not new, AJA Kona has had that for at least the past year. Maybe Apple didn’t realize.

Yes, we’ve been doing that for years. I guess some one tattle-telled on our little secret feature that everyone who used an SDI interface has been using for years.
Who spoiled it?
