After edditing 720/24p footage in FCP in their a cheap way to show people in the field the final product on the 17" BT-LH1700w other than a laptop which would require a kona card. How can I send a eddited clip back to the HVX-200 to play back in the field.

I'm no expert but I was just reading about this on a FCP on line manual. Look at page 98 in this file.

If you have a laptop, the best way to output true HD to the LH1700 would be through the Matrox MXO ($995). That would give you DVI (which you would not need of course) or more importantly, SDI with embedded audio. You could go from MXO to the LH1700 via SDI and take your audio either through the RCA jacks of the MXO or embedded SDI if you have the audio board installed on your LH1700.

It can be done with Raylight (Windows) which can translate Apple DVCPROHD quicktime into a P2 card image that can be copied to the camera through the USB2 port. If you search the dvxuser FCP forum for Raylight you will find detailed instructions.
