We do have a beta deck plugged in that runs on RS-422. Sorry I forgot to tell you that!
We just simply switch between easy setups depending on what we’re digitizing. -
Well, as I posted earlier…we’re running an io LA with FCP 6.0.1 with complete deck control. The io LA is plugged into the firewire 400 port on the back of the G5 and the HDV deck is plugged into the PCI-X firewire card and there is no conflict…FCP seems to be happy!

Hi Tim…
I think the key might be adding a PCI-Express firewire card, which are pretty cheap. This would hopefully provide deck control on a bus other than the firewire bus that is io HD is using.
It works with the io LA, but the io HD may be another story. I’m trying to avoid purchasing an HVR-1500, which has RS-422 control and HD-SDI out…I would like my next purchase to be the new Sony XDCAM-EX camera to gradually move upward.

I’m not sure if the same holds true for the io HD, but I freelance for a shop that uses an io LA on an older G5. We control a Sony HVR-M10U HDV deck with a PCI firewire card and digitize through the component output of the deck. We just created a new easy setup that uses firewire (Actually the DVCPro HD firewire setting works best, believe it or not) as deck control.
I’m assuming, or hoping…that the io HD will work the same way since I have one on order. My plan is to purchase a PCI-e firewire card for my Mac Pro for deck control and digitze from the HDMI out of an HDV deck into the HDMI port of the io HD…unless I hear it won’t work.

Thanks, Jeremy. I wish it was here today, but I’ll just have to wait my turn!
-
Which codecs are you digitzing to?
-
So, are you digitizing through the HDMI in on the Multibridge Pro from your HDV deck?

I recently used the Intensity to re-batch a 10 min project to 8-bit uncompressed HD that was originally cut in HDV. I was excited to see everything come in just fine…seemed to be pretty much frame accurate. I’m using FCP.

In FCP 5.1.4, set video playback to Intensity HDTV 1080i 59.94 (1920×1080). Hopefully your Samsung monitor with take a 1080i signal. My Sony does and it works fine.

Thanks, Kristian. It worked like a charm.
