I saw somewhere else that a guy used the composite output from the Sony camera. How do you get that into FCP?

“I am considering purchasing the LHe for my home studio and will be capturing HDV as DVCPROHD via the analog outputs on my camera. For audio I will run the camera outputs through a mixer and convert to XLR cables for the Kona input. And for device control I would still be using FireWire.”

I have the Sony Z1 and the Lhe card, Mac Quad and FCP.
I read AJA’s document on importing from HDV to DVCPro HD. But all they talk about when it comes to Sony is using one of the Sony decks, not the camera component outputs. When talking about one of the other cameras they talk about using firewire as device control.
I have’nt been able to get this to work yet so if any of you can throw any light on this I would greatly appreciate it. The Lhe card is expensive so I really want to make best use of it by capturing DVCPro HD straight from the camera. Do I have sufficient equipment or is one of those adapters needed?

I go back as far as buying a computer without a hard drive at all.
There was one floppy drive. I had two floppy disks, one with the operating system (DOS) and the other with a word processor on it. Can you imagine having to switch disks now and again so the memory could access the operating system!!! The word processor was limited to 400 lines (Textomat).
That was the Amstrad 512 computer in 1987.

To get back to the point I’m really looking forward to the new Quad and the Kona 2e which is bound to come (add the Panasonic AGHVX200 and you have Nirvana). I’m going to smile at my banker a lot to get him into a good mood.
