Hi, Jeremy, I’ve heard that is the way to avoid problems. Can you elaborate a little, thanks.

Well, shut my mouth! So, back to pursuing an optimal and mid-priced digital i/o with accurate video monitoring, do you have another recommendation? MXO2 does not have HDMI monitoring?

Shane, great article on setting up the MXO to monitor on an Apple Cinema display. It happens I own a 20″ aluminum bezel one so this is welcome information. Creative Cow has the best video producer’s resources on the Web. I’m more of a writer/director/shooter so the help I get on general editing and FCP issues here is greatly appreciated. Thanks again.

Thanks, Shane and Alan. Boy those monitors are not cheap but you get what you pay for. Would you consider the iKan 17″ monitor? I’ve read it does not do so well with SD, but it’s $1,000.00 cheaper. On tghe Matrox vs Kona issue, the Matrox does offer hardware acceleration for h.264 and the Kona does the same for DVCPRO HD. Thoughts?

Thanks, Dave, I know the Datavideo is not up to it. Not looking for a hardware solution. I was wondering about a possible work-around in FCP so I can take this beautiful ProRes NTSC 16×9 file – sourced and edited in HDV – and output a letterboxed signal.

I didn’t explain properly. I have a Datavideo D to A converter with analog output.

I think I understand. To recap, if I can capture live from the camera to FCP in the prores codec I can get 1920 x 1080. If I capture from tape to prores via FW I get an easy to edit codec but lose the camera original timecode which is fine ’cause I never go back to tape, just keep it as an archival medium. I have been capturing all the time as HDV. What is the advantage for going prores? (sorry, I’m mostly a shooter and a cut-cut-dissolve editor!) Thanks again, these forums are so helpful to me.
-
Thanks, Shane, that’s what I thought. Does the HDMI set-up capture better than, say, the camera’s FW output?

Amen, brother! My first Betacam SP body was more than $40 grand with no lens! Stop the whining! 🙂
What a fantastic way to make a living!

When I first bought Media 100 the board and software discs were $17 thousand freaking dollars! Then I had to buy the MAc G-4 and scsi storage and on and on. Each year the upgrades were something like $500.00 plus some kind of another stupid running expense. Final Cut is a stone bargain. I love it! 🙂
