[Jan Crittenden Livingston] “the only thing I do know is the I cannot feed the timeline via 1394 to the HVX and have it play out through the component analog outputs in High Definition.”

Thanks Jan.

That was my understanding. I just though Shane was on to something that none of us knew about.

[David S.]

No, it sounds like you did something right.

I’ve never thought it possible to take firewire out to cam, and then component out of the cam to a HD monitor.

Where is Barry when you need him?

Let’s see if we can nail this down.

[Shane Ross] “Sorry David, VERY possible”

This from Barry Green:

“You can use it like a DV-style camera, meaning the FCP timeline will play through firewire and show up on the camera’s LCD.

However, in high-def mode, it does NOT output through the component outputs. When using firewire input, component output isn’t possible. So you can’t use it as a high-def monitoring solution, but you can use it to preview on the camera’s LCD and you can also record that incoming stream (by using the VCR REC buttons on top of the camera by the navigation buttons).”

That’s why Shane I responded as I did. I believed the poster wants to take it through the cam out to a monitor for HD preview.

It’s not possible as I stated.

[Shane Ross] “Sorry David, VERY possible.

Connect the camera to the computer via firewire”

Perhaps we are thinking of different things here Shane.

I thought the poster asked if he could send a HiDef firewire video preview out of FCP through the HVX200 to a monitor in HD.

Are you indicating that IS POSSIBLE?

[David S.]

Jan:

I’ll isolate the issue and provide a report to FCP people and copy you with an email

[David S.]

[doka15] “But how can I connect the camera to the firewire port and send the video signal out of the computer and into the camera so I can see it on the LCD screen?”

Not possible.

[Gary Brown] “Any special characters in your volume name “

No, I’ve been always careful with volume names and anything that indicates a false path with the Unix kernel, ie “/”

[David S.]

[Shane Ross] “Have you tried importing those clips separately”

Haven’t Shane.

With HD Log, the import is pretty quick as well as the unwrapping of the mxf date to QT.

It’s not cheap, but it is convenient.

[Bill ONeil] “I should point out that Windows Media Files are becoming the standard. They look the best at the smallest file size.”

Actually, QT h.264 looks much better in my view. I don’t know where you support the view that WMV is becoming the “standard.”

From what I see h.264 QT on either Mac or Win looks fantastic.

best wishes
