FCP-firewire-P2 Gear-sdi-monitor SETUP?

[Movies by Matt]

Here's my specs: Dual 2ghz G5/10.4.11/QTime 7.5.5/Final Cut Studio 2 (all recently installed)/P2 Gear/BT-LH1700/DVCPRO HD footage shot on HVX using 720/24pn with the FCP timeline to match and the P2 gear settings matched up in the SYS Format menu setting

Goal: Monitor FCP output via firewire to P2 Gear and to Panny monitor via sdi

What I've tried: All the basics- Different cables, different ports, checking system profiler for Firewire connection to Gear (it's connected), making sure the gear is connected and turned on prior to opening FCP (and even partially opening FCP to the A/V devices window where you must have the devices connected and recognized to be able to pass (the spot where you click check again)), in FCP clicking on the all frames, view, system settings, etc...

Theory: There is some setting in the P2 gear I'm missing. I've scoured the manual, internet (shane ross' blog makes it seem simple, and barry's article on the "gear" mentions it's possible) and endlessly adjusted the settings whether it's 1394 Host, 1394 Device, neither, all the different TC options. (Note, the P2 gear plays clips off of P2 cards on the monitor with no problems.)

Thanks for any help or input, MM

solved. Thanks to AbelCineTech in NYC, who still values the customer as a human being rather than a number within an equation. Abel has always been extremely helpful. And if you're wondering the answer...The p2 gear must be in 720/60p mode rather than 24pn, even if your footage has been shot and edited in pn mode.
