Monitoring Through HDR-FX1?
Is it possible to monitor HDV footage and an HDV timeline through an HDR-FX1. I’ve tried every setting in the menus (from VCR HDV/DV to i.LINK CONV and A/VtoDV OUT). I’ve also dumped all the non-current Quicktime Receipts. Also tried every configuring of turning things off & on, unplugging & plugging, rebooting etc….
Using FCP 5.1.1 on OS 10.4.7, 1.5 GB of RAM.Thanks,
Bugsy

Also, the firewire connection is going to the system firewire port while the firewire 800 drive is on a separate card. So throughput shouldn’t be an issue.
I can hear audio fine. -
#25 HDV external Monitor Viewing
Shane’s Stock Answer #25 – HDV external Monitor Viewing
To view HDV on an external monitor you are going to need to purchase a capture card, like the ones Decklink or AJA offer. They will both play out HDV in real time. The catch is that you cannot view this on a regular TV or NTSC monitor. Since this is HD, an HD monitor will be needed.
HDV cannot be played out of FCP via Firewire because it’s Long GOP structure is too taxing on your processors to spare the system resources needed to drive an external monitor.
The best option you have is the Matrox MXO…$1000.

I never thought reading the words “HDV cannot be played out of FCP via Firewire” could be so comforting, but after trying this for the last couple of days I can now give up the ghost and get something accomplished!
Thanks for the quick response.Bugsy
