I will definitely look into the Geffen Scaler. Thanks for the link!!!

Thanks for the help! I’ll be doing some shopping for a good capture card.

Thanks for your help!

Regarding the miniDVI (sorry about the HDMI mix up, my head is still recovering from my HDV 24p in FCP encounter), the only devices that I seem to be able to find are SDI to DVI (like the AJA HDP SDI to DVI-D Converter). Does this have the ability to reverse and go DVI to SDI (it looks like it does but I’m not too sure). Would this then just go SDI out to the Kona LH card? How hard is it to still use firewire device control while using the Kona card (if I needed to do a quick capture with no deck, just the camera, which has no RS422)?

This is the set-up that I am leaning towards.

I am capturing straight from a JVC GY HD100 camera (I know that capturing from the camera is a really bad idea, but its just something that needed to be done on this project). I am capturing via firewire and viewing externally using the video out on the camera to my HD monitor’s AV input. Technically it isn’t HD viewing with this set-up, but the quality is still very good, but the lag is frustrating.
