Editing Native HDV in FCP 5? What do a need to get an HD signal out to an HD client monitor?
First off, I’m totally new to FCP, but this gig is going to require me to use it. I’ve been on Avid for 7 years.
I digress … back on topic.
I will be editing the show using native HDV footage.
My question is, what will I need to get the HDV signal from FCP to an external HD client monitor?
Will a simple transcoder like the Canopus ADVC 100 work? Or would I need to use the Sony HDV camera it’s self?
Any help on this topic would be grateful.
Thanks

My understanding is that you need a Kona Card.

I would guess you could use the camera depending on what kind of outputs it has and what kind of inputs the monitor has.
AJA has already announced that the Kona 2 will support FCP 5 when it’s released so I’m guessing it will support realtime playback of HDV to an external monitor like it support DVCPro HD realtime playback right now.

Or a Decklink card too should work. Couple that with an HDLink and a 23″ Cinema Display, and you’re laughing for HD monitoring.
