How do I hook up a monitor?

I want to hook up a small 13" analog NTSC monitor to my Dual 2Ghz G5. I looked at vthe back of it and i cant figure out how to connect it. And when I connect it, how do I tell FCP to output to it as well as my computer monitor??

For DV, you need a device that can take the signal being sent via firewire and convert it to one that can be displayed on a TV. NO capture card needed. HDV can be viewed using a new feature that converts the HD signal to a DV signal. DVCPRO HD can be viewed thru a DVCPRO HD deck. ALL other formats require a capture card (AJA, Decklink) or conversion box (Matrox MXO) for proper viewing.
#8 External Monitor Viewing.
Shane's Stock Answer #8:
A simple path is mac > firewire > camera or deck > rca cables > tv
Then start up your camera and tv, then open fcp.
Then go View > External video > all frames
Video playback should be Apple firewire NTSC (If you are using an NTSC set)
Audio playback should be Audio follows Video
Techinially, this should send synched video to your TV
If for some reason you can't view your timeline on your external monitor, there are a few things to try:
1) Make sure that the camera/deck is connected and powered on BEFORE you open FCP.
2) In the Final Cut Pro menu select AUDIO/VIDEO Preferences and make sure your signal is being sent out thru Firewire DV.
3) Go to the menu and select VIEW>EXTERNAL>ALL FRAMES.
4) Click in the % box above the image and select FIT TO WINDOW.
5) Go to VIEW->refresh A/V devices
6) Make sure the Log & Capture window is closed
If you want it to play in both the canvas and the external monitor you need to go to the FINAL CUT PRO menu and select AUDIO/VIDIO settings and make sure MIRROR ON DESKTOP is selected under the PLAYBACK OUTPUT section

    Just got new MacBook Pro, How do you adapt to 2nd monitor?

    You will need a Mini DisplayPort (Thunderbolt) cable and an adaptor for the type of connection your monitor requires. You will find the adaptors at Apple's online website.

  • How do I hook my Cinema Monitor on my G5 iMac???

    Hello. I have the intel G5 iMac and recent upgraded my 2nd monitor for Final cut from a dell LCD to a Apple Cinema Display. What adapter or piece do I need to make it work. On the G4 Quick Silver it came from, there was a video card with the DVI slot on it.
    The only adapter I have is a VGA to mini DV for the iMac. Someone help so I can purchase it tomorrow. Thanks

    Today I went to the apple store and bought a mini DV to DVI adapter. When I got home and tried to hook it up, I found out that the DVI adapter is not the correct one.
    ** Sorry I guess I didnt specify what I had. I have the older 23" ACD. Its the one with the adjustable one arm in the back. The cable is a DVI but a bigger version as the standard DVI wont work.
    Any help?? Does the mac store carry it or do I have to order it and from where?

  • How do I hook another monitor up to my macbook pro (2011)

    How do I hook up another monitor, besides a mac display,  to my macbook pro (2011)?

    Dual Link DVI allows for seriously high resolution monitors (up to 2560 by 1600 like the Apple 30inch LED Display - Not manufactured anymore), I believe HDMI has a cap of traditional 1080p (1920*1080).
    Edit: according to the HDMI Wiki Article it supports resolutions MUCH higher than 1080p, it's a matter of finding a Computer Monitor that supports higher than that (as I believe most Televisions only support up FULL HD 1080p)

  • Hooking up 2 monitors

    I am running an alienware pc that has dual GeForce GTX 770's and I am trying to figure out how to properly hook up two monitors. I keep finding tutorials on how to set up everything but no one is saying how I am supposed to plug them in on my graphics cards. I currently have a 23" dell touchscreen monitor and an Acer 21" monitor that is around 3 years old. I have the dell plugged in with an hdmi cord and the acer plugged in with an hdmi cord. I have them both plugged in to the same video card. They both work but I am not sure if I have this set up right because the acer which is currently configured to be my second monitor looks like absolute. The desktop background in completely pixelated even tho the resolution is set to 1920x1080. The display itself looks really off because it is really bright and anytime I play with the controls in the nvidia control panel it just makes it worse. Can anyone offer any suggestions?

    I got my DP cable today and hooked up everything as you instructed. I don't see any difference on my second screen. I am adding in a screen shot and an actual photo because they are both very different.
    When I take a screenshot from the PC the 2nd monitor(on the right) look very similar.
    However when you actually look at the screen (taken with my camera) the screen actually looks washed out and really bright. I have tried to play around with the gamma settings and other various settings in the nvidia control panel but I can't seem to get it to look like a normal screen.
    Any ideas as to why this is doing this? The monitor is only a few years old and when I had it hooked up to my computer a few weeks ago by itself it looked fine.

  • How do I use an external Monitor to access files on my iMac with a broken screen?

    I have an 20 inch desktop iMac with a broken screen. It is the files on the computer that I wish to recover, after that, I can be on my merry way. Unfortunately, VileVault was on (Not my choice), and for some reason, when I target the disc image of the broken mac with a new one, ONE of the accounts "appears" to be completely empty. All of the accouts were running FileVault, but only one (mine) failed to be transferred because it is "empty". I refuse to believe that my files are actually all gone, because theoretically there should be nothing wrong with the CPU itself, just the screen.
    Thus my goal is to use a monitor on my broken screen iMac and simply log in and access my files normally, and perhaps pull them out with a USB or something. I have a DELL monitor, and a DVI (The big hairy plug with screws I think) converter that works with my old iMac, along with the male/male DVI cord. However, when I hook it up, nothing happens. I have tried booting the old CPU while holding F7, and option as I read on a forum, and neither produced results.
    Does anyone have any ideas on how to 1. Get the monitor to simply show what's going on on the mac? or 2. Pull out my files through some other means?
    Thank you.

    If you have a second Mac computer, you may want to try to copy over as many files you can. One way is to use target disk mode.

  • How can I hook up 3 screens to a Mac Pro 8 core 2010 model?

    How can I hook up 3 screens to a Mac Pro 8 core. One is a 23' Apple Cinema Display, the second is a 20" Apple cinema display and the 3rd is a 32' Sony Bravia HDTV (connected to mini port with mini/HDMI connector) Do I need to buy another video card? I have heard  about 4 different scenarios about this, and they all sound a bit complicated. I thought that you could automatically connect 3 displays with the card that comes with the MacPro. It has a DVI port and 2 mini ports, so it appears that would be for 3 displays. But this is where it gets strange. Any thoughts?

    Which video card?  5x70?  If you read about the various scenarios thern for 5x70's you need two active adapters for thee monitors (TV considered a monitor).  And you should have seen references to these apple docs:
    Mac Pro (Mid 2010), Mac Pro (Early 2009): Issues with three displays and multiple DVI, HDMI connections
    Mac Pro (Early 2009), Mac Pro (Mid 2010): Supported display configurations
    It's not really complicated.  Search out the appropriate adapters and hook 'em up.   For the 23" and 20", if they are DVI, you need single link adapters.  For the TV, if you end up using the DVI port for it (because possibly you can't find the appropate adapter cmbination) then you need to handle the audio separately since DVI doesn't carry audio.

    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.

  • Need suggestion for hooking up 3 monitors to my desktop PC

    Hello everyone,
    I am wanting to know the best and cheapest way to hook up 3 monitors to my PC. I have an HP Pavilion HPE h8-1234 with a 6 core AMD FX-6120 processor at 3.5ghz(up to 4.1ghz in turbo) with 10gb of DDR3-1600 RAM. My graphics card is a Radeon HD 7450 with 1 HDMI port and 1 DVI port in a PCI Express x 16 slot. I have 3 more PCI Express x1 (Gen 2.0) expansion slots available. I currently have 2 monitors hooked up to my graphics card and want to add another monitor. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Lotventures,
    The answer really depends on what you intend to use the computer and monitors for, and how much you are willing spend. Please provide us with some background and/or the primary intend use of the system. As an example of your options... the use of a USB-to-video adapter such as the eVGA UV Plus+ 39 would be fine for docs, daytrading, speadsheets, internet browsing and some video. However... gaming, heavy video, and the like will require a new graphics card and maybe a new power supply.

  • I AM TRYING TO HOOK UP TWO MONITORS AT THE SAME TIME

    I AM TRYING TO HOOK UP TWO MONITORS AT THE SAME TIME. I have had no success in figuring out why I can get an image on my TV and an image on my monitor (at the same time), but no icons, no start menu and no keyboard access. M y computer freezes as well when I try to do 2 monitors.

    Hi,
    Your machine has:
    *Integrated video is not available if a graphics card is installed.
    Radeon HD 6370D, 6410D, 6530D or 6550D Graphics (model dependent based on processor)
    Supports PCI Express x16 graphics cards
    Two DVI-D ports (Both ports can be used at the same time)
    You can use TWO monitors with the right connections for two ports #3 above. You can get more information from the following instructions:

  • Hook up Two Monitors

    I would like to know how to hook up two monitors on a mid 2009 MacBook Pro with a NVIDIA GeForce 9400M Graphics setup?  I currently have one external hooked up.

    In the US, this one is popular:

    But using such an adapter with the mouse on that same screen may drive you over the edge, as the mouse-tracking will be s-l-o-w.

    How do i run an external monitor with my macbook and change settings so that when i close the lid the signal to the monitor is not lost and i can continue using the mac with a mouse and a wireless keyboard?

    No, nothing will prevent the computer from going to sleep when you close its display except third-party hacks that are designed to do exactly that. I strongly advise against using any of those, as they may interfere with successful entry into clamshell mode (and they carry other downside risks as well). Just wait until the computer is asleep (with its sleep light pulsing), then press any key on the keyboard. It sounds as though your setup is working as it's designed to do.
