HDV is a whole different creature in FCP, but I seem to have the same problem as you. Until this is solved, I monitor the signal from the HDV using the S-Video Out to my production monitor – this only works when you capture the footage. According to AJA, I should be able to monitor HDV using my Kona2 but that hasn’t happened just yet. I get the same results as you.
