How did you get that price on the Dell 2405FPW? I just went to Dell’s site and it’s $1019.15.

Don’t listen to any of them. Instead read page 23 of the Blackmagic Design DeckLink manual where it tells how to control a Sony UVW-1400a in Final Cut Pro using a Keyspan USA-19HS USB to RS-232 adapter (Blackmagic Design recommends this RS-232 adapter regardless of what Carl says – just read their manual):

Who are you going to listen to? *I* listened to the designer of my Extreme card, Blackmagic Design, and bought a $35 Keyspan USB to RS-232 adapter and hooked it up to my UVW-1400a and followed the directions in the manual and it works great!

It’s true Michael could use an Addenda RS-4U to control his deck, but they cost $148! He already bought a Keyspan and that’s what I use to control my Sony UVW-1400 and it works fine and mine only cost $35! Blackmagic Design even recommends the Keyspan in several of their tech notes.

The UVW-1400a uses RS-232 rather than the more common RS-422 used on the Blackmagic Design DeckLink cards. Therefore you will have to use your Keyspan adapter to control your deck rather than the DeckLink cable.
You will also have to go into FCP5 and set it up to use your Keyspan adapter to control your deck.
Be aware that an old, basic deck like that may not support assemble or insert edits. Check your deck manual.
