    Old DVCPro into FCP

    Posted by Cliff Jenkins on September 23, 2009 at 6:36 pm

    Hi! I’m trying to convince my boss that it is not possible to go from an older DVCPro tape-based camera into Final Cut Pro via BNC cable.

    Or is it possible? What equipment would I need? I’m running FCP 7 on a mac with no BNC card input for the computer.

    My thought was that a deck would be needed with a firewire out.

    Any brilliant solutions out there?

    Thanks in advance!

    You require an I/O device such as a capture card. Check out AJA Kona and BlackMagic. There’s no other way to capture a component video signal, which is most likely what your BNCs are most likely outputting.
