GS5 No HDV video out through camera
I have moved from CS3 to CS5 on a new computer. In the past an HDV project would play the program out though firewire to a Sony V1U and then to an HD TV. No more. Is this a CS5 thing since it seems the projectitself do not specify the type any more – just the capure type? Or am I missing something?
Capture from HDV works great.
How do you monitor HD then? Both slots of my nvidia gtx 240 are used up by PC monitors.

OK I found the playback settings – now under sequence settings – but no HDV playback option (which may at not have existed in CS3 either).
An HDV camera is attached though. If I select DV playback, and set the camera to DV then it does play back on the camera, but not in HD and thus not out the HDMI spigot on the camera..
Suggestions?

Hi George,
I don’t believe HDV play-thru has ever been supported, are you sure you weren’t doing DV with CS3? The problem is that HDV uses Long-GOP MPEG-2 in a Transport Stream, so you can’t just get realtime playback via 1394 to an HDV camera or deck. In fact, if you try Print-to-Tape for HDV, Premiere will first have to render then entire timeline (to the MPEG-2 format for HDV) then send that to tape. Nothing realtime about it.
If you get certain capture cards, for instance a Matrox MXO2 Mini, this will allow realtime playback of the timeline out to analog or HDMI displays, and also includes realtime downconvert to SD.

you could well be right about having output DV. That seems to be supported, but the picture is not as nice.
