That is an analog output.
The realtime handling of HD is done by Mercury Engine. This outputs via your NVIDIA graphics card
To output over other video hardware you need to render.
Copy clips into a sequence with AJA settings.
Rendering just the timeline is far faster than transcoding everything yu shot.
See my not below… you can easily hook up a monitor via HDMI or convert HDMI into HD SDI and then get realtime monitoring

Few clarifications.
1. There is NOTHING fast about transcoding all your footage.
2. You can do rough edit in Premiere Pro then media manage and go to FCP (if needed)
or
Edit in Premiere Pro and output via your graphics card in Real-Time (DVI to HDMI, Display Port to HDMI, etc).
Why transcode everything and use up 8 times as much drive space just to do your first pass on editing?

Adapters ONLY work on old glass that has MANUAL controls for F-stop (i.e. a physical ring).
Modern lenses won’t work as the controls require dials on camera.

Looks like I slightly misspoke.
But shooting 24P for 1080 is pretty much a universal master. Very easy to convert to 25 or 29.97 in post
If you have more Nikon glass.. stick Nikon. Its the glass that matters most

You’re misrading specs
It shoots 24, 25, and 30 in 1080p
the 60 is at 720p (just like Canon).
I have both a 7D and D7000… both good cameras. I own more Nikon glass and like the longer record times of Nikon

You’re choosing the wrong preset
ProRes supports all flavors of HD. Look at which setting you are choosing carefully and make sure your source is full HD too

DSLR and greenscreen is not a great combo due to the compression.
If you insist on doing it… then go with broad lights like KinoFlos and evenly light the background.
Also get as much distance from BG and FG as possible,

Before outputting to tape via AJA you must render
You can export via MEdia Encoder without rendering

Looks like a total knockoff down to the exact molding. I suspect they won’t be around long.
