Tried it a couple times. Primary is 1080, secondary is 525. What should the “Video Playback” setting be set to in FCP ?

Hmmm . . . my footage was capture via firewire out of the HDX900 (until our deck gets here)
with FCP codec (DVCPRO HD). Everything looks fine in FCP. I still can’t figure this out . . . I hate to do it . . . . . . . but may have to resort to the manual. I think it’ s the control panel for the Kona that’s getting me. I have both primary and secondary set to 525i.
If the footage was shot at 60i could this be the problem ? I did not see a preset for that. -
I’m also looking at the RGB to a compnent monitor and it’s pretty jagged.

OK, I tried that. I’m monitoring the thru-put of a DVCPro50 deck (SDI input to deck but composite out to monitor) I know this won’t look great being a composite signal to the monitor but it looks pretty jagged and worse than it should. Also, the RGB component signal to our SD monitor looks pretty crummy also. Any thoughts ? I’m thinking the realtime downconversion should be really clean . . .am I wrong ?

Excellent Jeremy . .thank you . . I’ll give it a try.

Specifics ? I’ve tried this and frankly I must have something wrong because it does not look all that good.

If you’re getting a Kona 3 you won’t see any difference in picture quality unless you hook up an HD monitor to it.
You need to try and immerse yourself in some research on the subject.

Adrenalin TelevisionI’ve read that the Kona 3 allows the use of Pro Res HQ ???

HI Sean . . yup I understand that. It’s just the images differed so greatly from the field monitor to FCP’s viewer I though I was doing something very wrong.
I’m in the process of trying to get a Kona3 in here. -
I suspected that Steve. Just did a test and noticed that there is a huge difference (not better or worse) between 24p & 60i also.

Walter,
I’m in no way saying the video is not potentially great, I think though that we have some config issues and that is what I’m trying to clear up.Is there a way to down convert the video in FCP so we can use our SD monitors ?
thanks,
Dan
