    You need a video capture card to monitor HDV, like Black Magic or AJA.

    What about the monitor, what is best… will any old HDTV do? and what about the whole apple cinema display deal. Will one of those work? and can a G4 power one?

    [Kevin the Bold] “What about the monitor, what is best… will any old HDTV do?

    Well, the purpose of using a capture card is the ability to use a cheaper SD monitor instead of an expensive HD one.

    and what about the whole apple cinema display deal. Will one of those work? and can a G4 power one?”

    You can use a cinema display. An HD Link from BlackMagic will give better results for this. A G4? Hmmm…that shouldn’t be an issue as long as it can run FCP 5.
