Production Monitor

Glenn,

Would happen to know why there are broken white dash like lines across the top of the 16:9 clip, not of course on the 4:3, it's only along the top of the clip, not the bottom. I assume it's some sort of guide...but I hope it doesn't go to tape when I record the timeline.

Don't know, sorry.

Ah, John come lately again. Sorry, Lucinda, I don't have the "post alert" turned on in my preferences anymore. The line will not be in your footage. I'm not sure what produces it or why it is there but it will not turn up on your media. Glad you like the monitor!

Apart from a converter, do I also need to buy and install a more advanced card to be used with this kind of monitor? I use a G5 Mac and Final Cut Pro but no production monitor. Many thanks.

George, the answer is no for SD. For SD (i.e. miniDV), the best setup is to use your DV camcorder to convert from firewire to analog. I believe instructions may be stickied in the FCP forum here.
