'Easy setups' for Final Cut Pro 7 are automatically installed if Final Cut Pro is installed before the Desktop
Video software. Blackmagic video hardware is fully compatible with Apple’s RT Extreme™ real time effects.
For this example, the converted output from the Teranex will be 1080i50 and we will be capturing from
a non-controllable device.

You can use the Final Cut Pro timeline to display video on a monitor or TV connected to the output of
your Teranex Processor. If you can’t see any video on your Blackmagic output, check the connections
again and ensure you have the correct output settings configured within Final Cut Pro by going to the
View > External Video and ensuring 'all frames' is selected.
