Latest on HD output components

Dear Jitter folks,

I'm trying to capture the HD output of a jitter patch to a SONY FX7 camcorder, however the [getvocmodes] function will only report SD formats. Has anyone run across an HD component recently that will work for this?

I also see some posts for PCIe cards that apparently need to be routed back into the same machine (correct me if I'm wrong) and require a RAID set-up. I have two drive but no RAID.

I"m also wondering if anyone has heard of something that would attach directly to the output of the graphics card. I would think that if I'm getting exactly what I want off the graphics card to another monitor that there should be some way of capturing it.

I'm using MaxMSP 4.6.3 on a MacPro 10.4.11 standard RadeonX1900 grphics card).

if you have access to final cut pro, it installs an HDV quicktime capture component, that lets QT apps speak to HDV camcorders, which would let you get I/O via HDV / FW to your camera.

if you want a component uncompressed analog signal out, in HD, your best bet is probably some sort of transcoder.
