How Do I: Stream & Capture 24pN to my MAC
Can you recommend a capture card and the best connection cable for capturing streaming footage from the HVX200

Firefire connection to the Mac would be your best capture option.
But you can only get 24PN on a p2 card…

Exactly- Firewire will get the HVX connected to the Mac. But 24pN is for P2 only. Via Firewire you’d go 24pA for 23.98 native editing.

Well, kinda. You can hook your HVX up to FCP through firewire, set your capture preset to 720p24 and FCP will remove the redundant frames on capture giving you 24pN media, just like capturing from a Varicam source.

Well actually no- that’s kind of a misnomer. 24pN is actual native 24p recording with no pulldown ever in the equation and can only be output to P2. When you capture 24pA over Firewire you’re getting 24p + 2:3:3:2 pulldown which is automatically detected and removed by FCP to result in 23.98 footage. But the 24pN process is different and not possible to send directly via Firewire. In other words the results are identical but not the method.

It is kind of a misnomer, but there’s no advanced pulldown in 720p material, it’s all standard 3:2 pulldown. FCP will strip out those frames on ingest leaving yo with 24p material. Your camera has to be in 720p24 over 60 mode.
