Hi Bob,

Many htanks for your reply. To be honest I have been waiting for the Sonnet fusion 500 to come out forever. So in desperation I searched the net and saw that people were sawing in various boards that you can get 1 stream on to a sata drive. Also i read that you could capture onto a LAcie via firewire. So as I waitined for the sonnet and the delvery date kept slipping I decided to use my back up solution ie 2 x 2 TB lacie as my main work space while I waited. Really appreciate you taking the time to reply. I hear as of today that the sonnet fusion 500 will ship end of this week. phew.
if you have time can you offer thoughts on 2 other queries.
1. I done’t seem to be able to get time code using the method so far. It occurred to me that now HDV is supported could I use HDV into FCP then use media manager and uprez to DVCPRO HD. Therefore i’d bring the timecode with me. If i chose this route rather than via the kona is there any possible issues?

2 Sound : The other reason for doing this is that when I capture firewire HDV I get a much better signal it seem sthan using the kona audio. Am i doing something wrong ? I have been told to set the unity to 67. Is there any other place to adjust the audio to get a better signal to noise ration.

As to the internal SATA drive/ lacie firewire drives – I tried both to see if I could get it to work.

Again amny thanks for reading and your feedback. cheers.
