    You can’t control deck thru HDMI. You are controling your deck with Intesity only thru FireWire. In your capture application you have to use apropriate BMD setup and choose DV/HDV device for control (before capture you have to connect both cables HDMI and FireWire!) or make your own one.

    Last week I have captured 20 hours of HDV tapes that way. I have also enable downconwert on input because my final is SD, and I have captured all in MJPEG. It works, and real time downconvert is very good.

    You can also use the RS422 on the HD50 for full deck control.

    Is there any way in which footage can be split into individual clips at timecode breaks when capturing via HDMI/Component input to the Intensity Pro with Firewire deck control?

    Intensity has no RS422 control. You have to use some external one.

    I have not use it this way, but once I forgot to watch my ingest it didn’t stop at the end of recording, and also never stops on TC breaks on some other tapes. Intensity has also some special app for ingesting but I have not use it. All my capture was done with PPro2.

    You can use your USB connection with this…

    It works perfectly- I use it everyday.

    Does the Keyspan Serial Adaptor approach allow scene detection and auto clip split functtionality?
