The Canon doesn’t do audio via HD-SDI, so I would have to go analog.

Thanks for all the info you have been very helpful. Now I just have to decide which Kona card to get!

Thanks again for the details. I’m intrigued by this DVCPro HD workflow. How would I capture the footage from the Canon XL H1 into DVCPro HD? Would I capture via the Canon’s HD-SDI and audio via the Canon’s XLR?

How long would an hour long sequence in the DVCPro HD format take to convert to SD or an MPEG2 file?
Right now it takes about 6 hours per 1 hour of video in the HDV format. Although, recently I have been doing this conversion in real-time via the new Matrox MXO.

Do you think the Kona LH would be a good choice? It seems as if the Kona 3 might be overkill for me.

Hi Walter,

Can you give me some more details on the DVCPro HD workflow? What real-time does it add to the workflow? When the project is done and ready to go to SD DVD, what would the process be?

Which Kona card would you recommend based on my current setup?

The MXO comes with a Y/C adapter so you can use an S-Video cable.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi Chris,

You will be glad to hear the answer is YES to both of your questions.

You won’t loose your 2nd monitor AND the MXO will output from Final Cut Pro and other QuickTime-based applications such as DVD Studio Pro, Soundtrack, Combustion, and even Motion!

Hi Jerry,

I have been using the MXO for a few months with HDV footage shot with a Cannon XL H1. I edit in Final Cut pro in HDV 1080i60 and using the MXO I downconvert to SD in REAL TIME in anamorphic widescreen. My signal goes out of the MXO box into another system which captures the footage directly to MPEG2 and is ready to go to DVD. All I have to do is hit play on my timeline in Final Cut. This thing has saved me DAYS of conforming.

Scenarist is one of the most powerful DVD Authoring software out there. Way more powerful then Encore. That power comes with a price though, the last time I checked it cost around $20,000
