I switched the “video playback” in Video/Audio settings to Cinema Digital Display and plugged in my LCD monitor via VGA and it works. Cheap alternative. Loose the 2nd monitor for bins but with a 21″ monitor there is enough real estate for FCP.

Hello,
I have a Power Mac Pro 1.1 (early 2009) running FCS3. Capturing Sony HDV as Pro Res in FCP 7. Trying to figure out external monitor (low end LCD with VGA and HDMI inputs). As I am working with Pro Res can I get away with a simple video card? Currently I am using a Canopus box (analog to digital) Firewire out of Mac SVHS to monitor. I know I can do better.
Thanks,

Kevin,
I am having same sync problem Shooting HDV with Sony V1U editing with FCS3 on a quad core power mac and everything is 6 frames out. I fooled around with settings, no luck. Did you ever find solution.
