Re: existing video input+SDI can confuse Kona

[John Schell] "ob,
Have you set the M25 tape transport to Shuttle max instead of FF/REW?"

Yes, I did set that correctly from the beginning.

But there's another menu setting on the M25 that may be problematic: IN/OUT--i.LINK SET. Do you know the correct setting?

"If I understand you correctly, you're trying to capture the HDV material into another format through the Kona?

If so, you MUST set up the Firewire to downconvert to DV. You cannot control the deck via Firewire unless you are using an HDV easy setup. If you are trying to simply control the deck via Firewire while capturing via the Kona, you cannot have the deck in HDV mode via firewire."

Thanks!
