Yes, I TRIED to use this monitor but when using the comnponent output from both the Blackmagic card and Multibridge, it will not allow you to get a 60hz refresh rate and therefore the highest resolution. The Dell does not have HDMI inputs, just DVI and component. Your 2 options are: upgrade your video card to dual output and you could monitor that way into the Dell, or get a hi-def CRT television with component inputs. I found a 27″ Samsung with component and HDMI inputs and it looks grreat.

i’m also having a similar issue. things look and play fine from the timeline but when I export as a QT Conversion there’s a problem…the video is out of sync by about 2 seconds. BUT, when I make a self-contained QT from the timeline, it exports fine.

update: i think there was a conflict between the Multibridge and the upgraded video card (X1900) in the Mac, keeping me from getting the 60hz refresh rate in component mode. So for now I will use the other DVI output on the video card for monitoring. Don’t know if this points to BM software or the ATI (video card)

that’s just the kind of info I was looking for, so thanks! One final question: how to drop the HDV timeline into a ProRes timeline. (If I was sitting in front of the screen i could probably figure it out)
-
how did you get audio out of the Z1 (RCA) to the card (XLR)?
-
here’s the link to the HDV to HD SDI converter.

Yes, there’s a component output on the Z1. So, don’t really need the extra box do I, if used with the Kona card?
-
sorry, forgot to add that right now I have the Sony Z1 which only has Firewire out, not HDMI. So I’m kinda limited, that’s why I would perhaps get the Convergent-Design box to convert.
-
yes I would install a HD/SD-SDI card. I take it you like the Blackmagic card vs Kona? Would there be an advantage to capturing this way instead of transcoding? Any loss of quality there?
-
how fast a MAC? Would an Intel dual core 2.66ghz do it?
-
ok, so to recap: just capture native HDV (though Firewire) then drop it on the timeline to edit in ProRes 422, and it should reduce renderer times?
