Kevin,
Thanks for your reply; I'm already familiar with the FW to analog video workflow but this is not for standard video preview to an NTSC monitor.
We have a very specific setup during a live video event that we need analog video for, and if we can avoid one more *powered* device on a table already covered in gear that would be ideal. We have laptops connected to a switcher via S-video (the older G4 models with dedicated S-Video ports) with both machines using extended desktop. For what we're doing, Cinema Desktop Preview in FCP works fine for displaying our DV timeline out to the projector. And the 2nd laptop has to run Powerpoint in presentation mode, which requires an analog video out (and does not work with FW as far as I know).
Other users have chimed in on their need for DisplayPort to analog solutions for hooking into switchers (like VJs) so there's clearly a need for an S-Video/RCA DisplayPort adapter...
