Thanks Gary for responding.. I see your name on here often, and always helpful advice!

What a great suggestion too… I had it in my head that when shooting 720 24pN that all the other outputs were cut off.. I guess it is just the Firewire? Thats great.. now I can return my buddys Canopus.

Thanks again…

Thanks for respondng Jeremy…

Here is some more info: ( I am always looking for suggestions to streamline… so feel free!)

My understanding is that the composite out of the HVX is HD not SD. We turn it into HD-SDI for the hi end monitors that have no analog inputs. Then we have to go to NTSC for the reference monitors for script and playback. Normally we hire a playback person and rent his $20K rig, but this particular job is a passion project and they have no money (wooing a potential up and commer). Thats why I wanted to see if I could rig up some sort of playback using FCP.

And I did! Borrowed a Canopus ADV box from a buddy and its all working great now! Use capture now, then can playback clips on demand. And didnt have to buy any equipment. Obviously wouldnt use FCP as the only capture, but for playback reference, its good enough!

OOOOHHHH really cant wait for that backordered monitor now!! Usually use the marshall to monitor from the camera while shooting, but had to hook it to the KONA to check it out.

I will be talking to ProMax on Monday to ask about the missing CD and to get the ETA on the Panny Monitor… Cant Wait!!

Thanks again… Have a great weekend!

Bob –

Thanks for taking the time on a Saturday!

I did what you said and all is right with the world now. I did originally shut down to plug in, and figured it was better to write a quick post than tempt fate, so once again, thanks.

Also – I was fully expecting electronic documentation, but there was NOTHING in the box but the hardware, no CD, no reg card, no warranty card, no 1000 hours of free AOL… nothing!

Now just waiting for my BT-LH1700W, but Im happy to be monitoring to my little 7″ Marshall for now!!

Thanks again

Don
