[Bart Harrison] "I have a client who needs to capture 10180i from his HDW-F500 HDCAM deck (via HDSDI) to an HDV file using his Kona 2 card."
I don't think this is possible with the Kona cards. They play back HDV, but only record to DVCPro HD. I just looked at the Easy Setup and there's nothing to record to HDV from another source.
