PAL SD monitoring during DVCPRO HD 1080i50 editing
I have imported some Panasonic P2 footage, made a Sequence using an Easy Setup for DVCPRO HD 1080i50 but changed the Video Playback to Pal 10bit (720×576), cut some footage into the seq;
the sequence plays realtime without rendering;
but I can’t see it in realtime on the PAL SD monitor.
The Decklink prefernce pane shows ‘Enable HDTV Up/Down Converter’ is set to
Output: HD to SD Letterbox 16:9 and
Input: Off
In FCP, External Video is set to all frames.Sould I be able to view my HD seq on the PAL SD monitor, and if so, what am I doing wrong?
Thanks.

Some folks on the FCP forum pointed me in the right direction, I got it to work by setting the Video Playback to Blackmagic HDTV 1080i 25Hz – 8 Bit (1920 x 1080) setting;
however, originally, I had been trying the Blackmagic HDTV 1080i 25Hz – 10 Bit (1920 x 1080) setting, but this played back in realtime WITHOUT any down conversion, so I got 1024×576 pixels out of the 1920×1080.That shouldn’t happen, should it?
