HDV monitoring via firewire
I’m trying to view my HDV sequence by (in theory) running through my Sony HDV deck via firewire, then out to my monitor from the deck via serial digital.
However, i dont seem to have “Firewire” and an option in “Video Playback” – seemingly only Blackmagic options. My AV Settings are, Sequence: HDV-1080i60, Capture: HDV, Device Control: Sony HDV Firewire.
Any suggestions?
I’m on a FC5 on a dual 2.3
