Connecting a Video Monitor to a G5- how?

I need your some help to understand how to CONNECT the following components of my DV system:
1) a Macintosh G5 (the video card has both ADC and DVI connectors) with Final Cut Studio software and a 23" Studio Display (DVI);
2) a Sony Digital Video Cassette Recorder (GV-D1000E PAL);
3) a Canopus Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADVC-110);
4) a Trinitron video monitor (PVM-14N1E).
I have posted a web page which shows the various connectors on items #2, 3, and 4 (above):
http://www.johnhlincoln.com/PVM/
The problem is really with the video monitor, which has both S-video and BNC connectors. Please look at the web page, and give me your advice about how to connect it to the G5.
I may need a particular video card and/or cable, to connect the video monitor.
Thanks In Advance.

simplest configuration:
use a 6pin to 4 pin firewire cable to connect the GV-D1000E DV port to one of your G5's firewire ports
use a S-Video cable to connect the GV-D1000E's PAL "S-Video Out" to the PVM's Line A "Y/C IN"
monitor the audio through the GV-D1000E's speakers and/or use a dual phono to single phono jack (2 jacks one end, 1 jack the other) and connect the GV-D1000E's L&R audio outs to the PVM's Line A "AUDIO IN"
you don't need the canopus converter, the GV-D1000E already does that through its A/V and S-Video inputs

Best connection for Video Monitor?

Thanks for reading,
I'm getting to the stage of my first FCE 4.0 project where I will need to monitor things through my intended display, and I'm just curious as to which connection is best. I've read about sending the video out through firewire to my camera, and then S-Video to the Monitor.
How about through my Mini DVI (through a DVI to HDMI converter) and then into the HDMI connection on my monitor?
I'm assuming that it has something to do with the video being sent back as interlaced when it gets processed through the camera?
Any feedback would be much appreciated.

Ok I had a go last night, firstly I tried out the Firewire through DV Camera, to my Monitor (the analogue connection was composite, I couldn't find my S-Video lead), I got the canvas up on the screen, but if I played the timeline I could hear the sound but would only get a static image on the monitor, when I stopped the playback, the image would update to the current point on the timeline.
If I step through the timeline, one frame at a time the monitor updates with each frame, but I cannot get continuous playback.
I then set about trying the DVI output (converted to HDMI into the monitor). I can get full screen canvas playback on the monitor by enabling the Desktop cinema mode. This seemed to work better for me, as I could get full playback, ableit with a few dropped frames, I think I'm finding the limits of my MacBook, unless I'm missing anything obvious?
Am I right in saying that through the DVI connection I'm still getting everything progressive (even in Desktop Cinema mode) where as I'm working with DV footage which is obviously Interlaced. I'm still fairly new to FCE 4.0 and editing in general, so am I right in saying the biggest problem with not viewing DV footage as interlaced is presented when it comes to colour correction? or are there other things I should be aware of?

Connecting iPod Video to a Beosound 3000 - How do i do ?

I have recieved a iPod AV connection kit but I can't use it on Bang and Olufsen system Beosound 3000 -
Do you know whar I need to get my iPod connected ?
Thanks

Hi - the problem are now solved. The problem was that the cable from the ipod ended in 3 plugs, and the Beosound did not have a connection to them, but only a 5 pole din connector. I found a converter cable, and the problem are solved.

How do i connect three external monitors to a macbook pro?

How do I connect three extrenal monitors to my Macbook Pro?

I have a USB to DVI adapter from kensington. I use to use it to power at 14" display.Moving windows around had some tearing and lag. Typing lagged, but it was use-able. It was fine for displaying diffrent stats. The OS treated it as it would any additional display.
But I found it undesirable for any thing tha requires lots dragging and clicking.
Every so often the device would lock up. At witch point the computer would get stuck trying to detect the USB display. I would have to unplug the adapter, cycle the power on the adapter. And then it would be good for a couple more months.
Also some times after a reboot, the adapter would stop working. I would have to unplug it, and login, and then plug it back in.
Coping file to my USB 2 harddrive seemed to cause more lag to the USB to Video Adapter.

HT3131 how can i connect 2 external monitors(VGA) to my 2007 macbook pro

I would like to use 2 external monitors simultaneously with my clamshell closed. I have external keyboard and mouse but need to know how to and what to buy in order to achieve this.....havent found anything straight forward on apple site, like a vga dual monitor splitter, so am in need of some advice on how to do this please!

Thanks for the reply. Haven't gotten anything as yet. Just that I burned out my older PowerBook using it as a primary screen w/ a secondary 20" monitor. Would be nice if the MacBooks could be used as a CPU only, connect 2 different monitors, and use the LCD screen when portability is needed. But I suppose that is why Apple makes different types of computers. I know I can rig the video SCSI cable to bypass to LCD screen and use the other built-in monitor. But there goes the warentee and any kind of AppleCare... not that I have ever used it, (until a day after it has expired!)
But thanks for the feedback. Your reply is what I expected. Being that I am a mercenary graphic designer and need to be able to work whenever, and where-ever I need to, the MacPro is not my hardware of choice. As well, I don't have $4000 in my budget. But man do those machines rock! Just think of what NASA could have done with one of those in 1969 when we were going to the moon! But now that the U.S. has decided that manned space travel and even scientific space exploration is not worthy of having a budget, the MacPros are religated to creating new episodes of Jersey Shores!
Thanks again for your feedback!

Hp dv6 1355dx laptop - how do I connect 2 external monitors?

I have a HP dv6 1355dx laptop Entertainment PC. How do I connect 2 external monitors (both have VGA cables) and neither one has HDMI connectors. My laptop has only 1 VGA connector, so I can display my laptop video and 1 of the external monitors.
Any help would get greatly appreciated. I am even willing to buy a docking station or port replicator.

Hi,
Docking station or port replicator won't solve the problem because of your internal graphics card. You need something which is similar to the following products:

or USB to 2 VGA monitors but very hard to find (normally you can only get 1 VGA and 1 other, not both VGA's).
Regards.

How to connect 2 more monitor

Hi,
I'm running FCS 2 on my mac, I was wondering how to connect to more monitors to work with my video editing?
Thanks

Actually, that solves your problem if you want to connect 1 monitor.
If you want to connect 2 monitors, (or even 3 more), check Matrox website, they have something called DualHead2Go and TripleHead2Go.

I connected an external monitor to my MacBook Pro, but it doesn't open any programs. It Just sits there with a blank screen. How do I get it to open programs and act like a monitor?

Dear Jean:
It sounds like you are trying to get your external monitor to act as the primary viewing screen. For example it would have your Doc, Icons, Etc. In order to make the external monitor the primary screen you have to:
Open System Preferences.
Choose the Displays Icon
There will be several tabs to choose from pick Arrangement
Drag the toolbar to desired display
Let me know if this helps at all!

Did you try to hook up both monitors to the Belkin adaptor? Trying will determine if your monitor has a bad input port. See if the Belkin adaptor is the problem. I have never used that specific adaptor, but I have always had luck with the Dr. Bott's DVI for ADC adaptor. Best of luck.
