Chris,
yes a lot to process. 1st, the difference between the cameras was significant. I am capturing tonight from the Sony EX-3 to the FS 4 . It will not be in HDV now so I can see the difference. The settings are the same in the iMac at the venue. The problem was that there was a corrupt file in the Final Cut preferences. So I trashed preferences and did a disk repair and all is well with that now. Another thing that I found was that yes the Kramer was scaling to the 1280×720 and the installer used a VGA scaler to the projector instead of running DVI to the projector, so it is, out of the iMac, to the Kramer, out VGA to the HD projector. I have to change that as well.
