Rather Urgent: Kona 2 and HDV set up.
by Craig Meadows on Nov 10, 2005 at 4:00:33 pm

Working on a project shot on Sony Z1U HDV camera in HDV 1080i/50i.

Have Kona-2, FCP5HD, SATA Raid, HD Monitors, and AJA HD10A analog to component HD converter if needed.

Final product will be NTSC SD.

Camera is video source for Kona-2...So should I use the firewire or HD analong outs using converter?

What should my FCP easy set up be? ...and how should I configure the Kona-2 control panel for this particular project?

Any workflow tips greatly appreciated...thanks!

Just went through this debacle this weekend.
HDV is sluggish and a bit of pain in general...
Rendering takes almost three times as longer than DVCPROHD.
However, i must say it doesn't look terrible and it plays out through the Kona pretty well.
When finished cutting we laid it out in real time to HDCAM, easy.

I never could figure out how to edit back to HDV tape tho... (not like i needed too, but that was annoying)

Looking back, id like not to have to work in that format again in the future (unless it gets converted/new master tapes prior to editing).
