Just my opinion but …..as much as I believe in AJA and love their products I simply could not recommend purchasing a product that is not the best possible solution and that costs more money. Please read up on Convergent Design before your next purchase.

Have you tried exporting as a DV self contained .mov, and reimporting and then adding the speed change?

Not sure what this color red question means.
Convergent Design is a wonderful company that has many solutions for converting different format signals. For me it is a solid solution to stay completely digital transcoding to an all i-frame codec of my choice. AJA is also a wonderful company, but it is my opinion that staying completely digital is the best for keeping the quality of any signal.MP

How do you connect your audio? -
My workflow is to shoot V1 to tape, then capture using the M25U deck using HDMI out and firewire out for timecode and deck control to the Convergent Design HD-Connect MI then out HD-SDI into the Kona LHe and capture as either Pro Rez or DVC Pro HD in 720p 60 (59:94). Also the RS-422 deck control is used from the MI and the firewire supplies the MI with DV basic control. The M25u can be set to output in 1080i, 720p or 4:3 SD all uncompressed and the CD MI can also force these same formats allowing you to cross convert.

You don’t need FCS2 to edit HDV 60i. I don’t think you understand that ALL SONY HDV units make 60i. Some like the V1 can shoot progressive but as I said it is lays to tape as 60i. I think you should shoot 24p if you don’t pan to much and the same for 30p. I really think you should test a little more and see what works for you.
Good Luck

What is your capture scratch drive, firewire?

I would say you should give Jerry a call over at AJA tech support and yes convert the RCA into the Kona. But if you are converting the HDV to another format then here is a suggestion to keep the audio and video together digitally. Depending on the deck/camera you have you might consider one more component from Convergent Design, if your deck/camera has the HDMI port then look into the Convergent Design Nano Connect or the HD-Connect MI into your Kona via HD-SDI,
or if you only have firewire and component then look into the HD-Connect SI that uses the firewire out converting into HD-SDI into the Kona. When you use the component out you are separating the audio & video and the video is converted from digital to analogue then back to digital and this is not a good solution.Each of these solutions converts the 1440x1080i HDV into an uncompressed HD-SDI 1920x1080i 4:2:2 signal.
Good Luck
