Outputting an SD tape with Kona 3 and Sony HVR25AU
Guys will I be able to output an SD tape (mini dv pal) from final cut pro 7 through the AJA Kona 3 to a Sony HVR 25 AU deck? I will be editing EX3 footage and converting to SD on the timeline.
The post studio only has this set up.
Any help will be appreciated.

Or will I still be able to access the Kona’s downconversion feature but record to the HVR 25AU via FireWire ?

If you output via firewire, then you aren’t outputting via the Kona. Only when you output via SDI, Component or Composite. Make sure the deck is set to record DV, then connect it to the Kona via Component (or if it has SDI, use that), and then output via the Kona.

Thank you Shane.

Edit HD
Video playback in FCP -> HD
in AJA control panel
Primary HD
Secondary SD.
This way you get the hardware downscaling from the AJA on your Component or SDI output. -
Thanks a million

Can I use component to s-video convertor cables to connect the Kona 3 to the Sony HVR25AU as this VTR does not have component or SDI inputs?

Kona3 analog outputs feature S-VHS (Y/C) outputs, so no conversion is necessary except wiring. Check your control panel for this option. You can also output Betacam Y/R-Y/B-Y if you have an SP deck.
