  Final Cut Pro output to Panasonic BT-LH1700W LCD Monitor

  Posted by David Telling on May 2, 2006 at 5:04 pm

  Do I need an AJA or BlackMagic card, or are there other output options for a P2/DVCProHD workflow?

  I need a reasonably priced solution for outputting DVCProHD (720-24PN) from Final Cut Pro to the Panasonic BT LH1700WP LCD Monitor (and other SDI/DVI/Component capable plasmas).

  So far, I am happy with the P2 workflow and do not need uncompressed input capabilities – mainly just good additional monitoring options in addition to using an Apple 23″ Cinema display. (I understand the 17″ Panasonic may not be ideal for critical color correction, but it appears to be reasonably accurate and will probably work for my purposes).

  Are there other interfaces/options available that could fit this monitoring-only requirement or is AJA/BlackMagic the best way to go? (Connecting one of the above monitors via the second Apple DVI connector is not a viable HD solution, correct?)

  If I do need an AJA or BlackMagic solution, could one of their earlier products fit my requirements for the set up below (e.g. PCI compatibility)? Any preferences/recommendations?

  Thanks so much for any input.
