Ultimatte DV - FCP Playback Problem

I'm currently trying to export some Final Cut video session via Firewire into Ultimatte DV blue screening (http://www.ultimatte.com/products/product_ultdv.jsp). It worked before it went into sleep mode, or was turned off, however, FCP has now decided not to send video to the unit. I've even tried testing the A/V Devices to out put into the camera, and that doesn't seem to work neither.

I'm running this on a MacBook Pro (Intel) with 1Gig's and the latest version of FCP. Please help if you know of some solutions.

Thank you in advance.:dankk2:
 
I figured it out!

I guess it's Print to Video in the file menu, only problem now is, Ultimatte DV doesn't have two firewire ports where you can stream bacground in and capture out. The Ultimatte people are telling me that S-Video is a better option for outputing backgrounds anyways, because it's a better quality and it's uncompressed. Does anyone have any suggestions on how you can still use firewire out and capture in?

I might have my company purchase a PC based laptop solution, since Apple has not only discontinued PCMCIA support, but also S-Video on their MacBook Pro's.
