Hi Dan, I’m setting up a FCP HD suite as well – I have an empty room with nothing but carpet… I am converting from a PC-based system using Adobe Premiere 2.0. I intend to purchase a Mac Pro with all the bells and whistles. Here’s my questions for you.

1. What type of monitors do you run? I was considering a single 23″ Apple monitor as opposed to the two 17 inch Dell monitors I’m used to on my PC system – but I’m not sure if I should get two 20 inch monitors or a single 30 inch monitor.

2. I am looking at a BlackMagic MultiBridge Pro box, but am intrigued by your endorsement of the Kona 3. I’ll be shooting everything on the JVC GY-HD110U and do very little in the way of conversion.

3. Do you use any of the hard disk recorders that record directly from the camera?

Thanks for any feedback. Much appreciated.
