Monitoring via 2nd / external monitor

Is there a way to have playback to a second / external monitor?
It seems like an obvious feature for an on-set tool, but I can't seem to find it. I have one monitor facing me with the main program controls, and a second monitor which would face the client / director and just show the video that is either being captured or played back. It would be similar in concept to the playback settings in Premiere, where you can have it use a video overlay to take over another monitor or external DV device to make it a fullscreen playback feed.
I also tried working around this by using Premiere's capture for the same effect. No dice. Premiere only allows it in timeline playback, not capture.
Anyone?
Thanks very much in advance.

OnLocation CS4 does not support sending video out to a second monitor. You're far from the first to request it, so rest assured that that capability is on our radar. I'll add a vote for you.

  • White screen, but you could get the display via an external monitor.

    Hi,
    A few weeks ago, my Macbook pro(A1212) stopped displaying. It only showed a white screen, but you could get the display via an external monitor. A friend looked at it and we discovered a burnt Mosfet (SI3443DV) which was item Q9400 on the motherboard. He went and changed it but it only displayed for less than 5 minutes and it went back to the white screen. would you please advice on what to do since i am not in a financial position to take it for repairs at the apple store?
    Joe

    Forget it.
    1: If it was tampered with, then it doesn't qualify for warranty or AppleCare.
    2: Repairing it will incur a new expensive logicboard, because that's how they do things. Swap parts out.
    3: No money, means no Mac.
    Sorry. We don't do hardware repairs here.

  • T510 2nd External Monitor No Longer Working

    Hey Guys,
    Hopefully someone can help me out
    Came into work with my T510 and inserted on to my Lenovo docking station type 4338. For over 2 years now I had it working with 2 external monitors and also the built in monitor display from the laptop. Now I can only get the built in monitor and monitor 2 (VGA on the docking station) to display.
    It detects the 3rd monitor but when I try to extend to it everything goes black and I have to wait for it to time out or pop the laptop off the station and insert it back on.
    If I try choosing just the 2 external monitors and close the laptop lid only monitor 2 displays and monitor 3 disconnects itself automatically.
    Monitor 3 is connecting using a Display Port to VGA
    I have tried 2 other monitors, same results. I have tried DVI and it makes no difference. I tried 2 different docking stations same results and I even reinstalled Windows 8.1 on the laptop hoping that would resolve the issue but it has not.
    I know this can work because I had it working before. And the fact that I cant get 2 externals to display with the laptop screen closed is a telling sign something else is going on.
    Thanks for all the help and suggestions hopefully to come!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I was able to solve the issue.
    For some reason my BIOS must have reverted back to just Intels intergrated GPU. I had to boot to BIOS and change the video setting to Optimus, I believe that is what it is called.
    Once the change was made Windows 8.1 was able to install the drivers automatically, another reboot and all monitors now work.
    Hope this helps someone in the future!

  • Touch on non-primary external monitor controlling primary external monitor

    SP3i5 connected to two external touch monitors (AcerT232HLs) via minidisplay on dock to hdmi on monitor2 and minidsply to hdmi on monitor3 and usb3s from dock to each monitor.  SP3 is monitor1. Displays work fine.  Touch works fine.
    HOWEVER, touch on monitor2 control monitor3 display.  monitor3 is set as the primary monitor.  I get that this is NOT a bug since each monitor is in effect two device (display and touch) AND since most touch input devices WOULD want to control
    the primary display.
    So either there is a setting somewhere to explicitly redirect the touch on monitor2 away from the primary and TO display of monitor2 or there is a driver issue.
    In W8.1 I believe there was a setting as part of the 'touch tablet' settings where you would monitor by monitor go through a click process to say that the touch should control the display on its own monitor.  I can't find that in w10 (maybe it's all
    supposed to happen automatically? or maybe it just hasn't been gotten to yet?)
     

    Yesterday I found the same problem. I disconnected from a Dell Projector and then later that night I noticed that my computer still showed two monitors. I'm still able to connect to an external monitor and it will detect it. However, immediately after disconnect the phantom display is back.
    A little annoying because I'm always having application windows open on that phantom display.
    Also I noticed that when I plugged into the projector the color was off significantly, as if there was a bad connection. I tried a variety of connectors and connected my laptop to a variety of different external monitors and all of them work flawless except for the Dell Projector. (I didn't try it on another projector because I only have the one.)
    My conclusion is somehow when I disconnected from the projector I hadn't fully shut down or gone to sleep or my computer was in the middle of a disconnect when I closed the lid and this interruption as my computer transitioned from 2 displays to 1 created the phantom display. Hope to see a solution to this.
    Thanks

  • Dual monitor (w/laptop): external monitor is blank.

    Hi! just installed arch for the first time a day ago. Right now what I'm working on is on getting my second monitor running (mostly for development purposes... and movies ^__^).
    I'm using Arch64 with the open ATI driver and KDE. Whenever I connect the external monitor, the monitor seems to detect a connection occurred (the "check video cable" message disappears when I connect it and comes back when I disconnect it), and so does KDE. When I open my display settings, it tells me a new monitor was connected and asks me if I want to configure it.
    Then I choose to configure and use the two monitors giving the following screens (right now I'm at college testing with monitors in there, thus the low resolution, but behavior seems to be exactly the same):
    (EDIT: resized. In case of wishing to read full images, just take the "resized/" out of the URI)
    However pretty the full screenshot looks like (... I just mean that even if it looks like the second monitor is working), the monitor remains blank.
    Using arandr (xrandr's gui), it is exactly the same result. I might be doing something wrong (almost certainly I am ) (EDIT: decided it was a good idea to show what I did with xrandr).
    In /home/<myuser>/.xinitrc my file looks like this:
    #!/bin/sh
    # ~/.xinitrc
    # Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)
    xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode 1440x900 --pos 1600x0 --rotate normal --output LVDS --mode 1600x900 --pos 0x0 --rotate normal --output HDMI-0 --off
    if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ]; then
    for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/*; do
    [ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
    done
    unset f
    fi
    exec ck-launch-session startkde
    # exec gnome-session
    # exec startkde
    # exec startxfce4
    # ...or the Window Manager of your choice
    The laptop's model is Toshiba Satellite L775d. I'm not sure what other information should be required in this situation, but I will be loving to give anything that isn't compromising
    Thank you!
    (PS: so far Arch has treated me nicely let's see for how long)

    I wondered the same. I initially only used KDE for it (that's how it worked in other distros, but I'm guessing Fedora and Kubuntu have way more stuff on top). I moved to xrandr later after searching for options and I did select "Ignore" when KDE asked me to configure and just went ahead with xrandr. The same still happens.
    Thanks, I hope I gave the right information.
    EDIT: Adding some extra information. I tried rebooting with the CRT cable connected. When the kernel initiated its loading, the messages only appeared on the external monitor. It was afterwards (it was pretty quick, but I will assume it was when radeon's modeset hit) that the external monitor went blank again and, in that situation, the laptop's monitor went blank (so none of the two monitors worked... and I was so hopeful!)

  • IMac bad monitor. Bought external monitor, how do you shut off main?

    I am one of the poor unfortnuate masses that have a bad iMac monitor - the one with all the lines going down it. Bad pixels. Sheesh.
    I bought a HP 20 external monitor and hooked it up, it's working fine.
    QUESTION: Am I able to shut down the main monitor down without affecting the external monitor? If so, how?
    No sense in having both monitors working.
    As always, thanks in advance!

    There is no way to turn off the iMac's monitor, however there is a way to dim it to black like Dave suggests using Shades.

  • Mac Monitor settings, no external monitor

    I'm a few months away from buying an external monitor and my videos are looking much different on a TV than on my 24" mac monitor. I have a NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT graphic cards. How would you all suggest I get as much color/ brightness accuracy as possible when editing with just a Mac monitor? Where should my brightness be?
    Thanks!

    Your Mac's computer monitor will never be able to accurately reproduce NTSC colors and gamma.
    However, you could use a Matrox MXO.

  • MBP 15" 2007 with internal monitor off, main monitor signal on external monitor

    My MBP 15" 2.2 2007 2 MB RAM NVIDIA GeForce 8600 internal monitor has no video after startup.  If I connect my Apple Cinema Display to it, the video of the main monitor is on it, and the internal screen stays off.  If I hit the "Detect displays" switch, nothing happens.  I have tried the following:  reset PRAM and NVRAM, reset SMC, repair permissions using Mac OS X Lion Disk Utilities, and Onyx software as well.  I have also formatted the MBP and reinstalled MAc OS, and the problem persists.  Can anybody help?  Many thanks in advance

    No problem... happens to all of us.
    Glad it was simple - you wouldn't have liked my next few suggestions!!

  • Yellow screen on external TV Monitor via DVI-ADC Adaptor

    Hello,
    I am using a 2008 17" MacBook Pro with a DVI-ADC Adaptor in order too use an external monitor, however whenever I set it up the 2nd external monitor has a yellow tint all over the screen.
    Does anyone have any solutions to resolve this?

    I don't think so... you need to look at either an iO HD or a Matrox MXO to take care of things I'd think. Might also be able to use an Intensity Pro Card (least expensive solution).

  • External Monitor Shows Only Black Screen ??

    Recently, my PowerBook G4 12" stopped working properly with my external monitor. My external monitor is a Dell 2005FPW that is connected to my laptop via a mini-DVI adapter, a VGA cable to the VGA port on the 2005FPW. When connected to the laptop, the 2005FPW goes black; otherwise, the monitor shows it's "rest" screen which is a bouncing color bar.
    This system has worked without problems for years. I changed nothing in the configuration and (possible red herring) the only "event" prior to the problem developing was that I installed the "Security Update 2008-005 (PowerPC) v 1.0".
    I have confirmed that the monitor and VGA cable are working with my wife's laptop.
    Today, I replaced the mini-DVI to VGA adapter, and the problem hasn't gone away.
    Any suggestions?
    Michael

    Did it develop around the same time, after you downloaded the security update?

  • Display not working after using external monitor

    I was using my Macbook Air last night to watch via my external monitor displayed to a tv.  After I was done, I put my macbook Air in "Sleep" mode via the external display.  This morning when I startup my Macbook, I have a blank screen.  My suspicians are it's still in the "External display" mode.  Anyone experienced this before and found a way to switch back to normal display via key sequence or something?

    Reset the NVRAM:
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the third time.
    Release the keys.

  • IMac always auto detects for external monitors after waking from sleep or from display off

    I've got a Dell 24" monitor (2408WFP) plugged into my mid 2011 iMac via DVI cord and thunderbolt attachment. Things work fine.
    When I need to leave my computer, I usually turn the displays off using the shortcut keys: CTRL + SHIFT + EJECT
    This works perfectly and both displays go black. However, when I return to my computer and reactivate the iMac, the iMac display will turn blue as if I have just plugged in a new monitor even the external monitor is still plugged in. It usually flashes blue twice before displaying the password prompt. I can usually just log back in as normal. I've never had this happen before using Snow Leopard. It's annoying but strange.
    However, even more strange is that sometimes when returning to the desktop, the iMac will do the auto detect display thing and then when I log back in, the external display just shows static as if there is no signal. I've checked the cable a million times and everything is as tight as tight can be and both ends are plugged in properly. Unplugging the displayport adapter from the iMac and then reattaching it restores the desktop on the secondary display although sometimes, it results in the secondary display showing a gray background picture instead of my normal picture. Replugging the secondary display seems to fix that too although sometimes it doesn't.
    Why is this happening?
    - Problem with the adapter?
    - Problem with the DVI cable I'm using?
    - Compatibility issues with my external monitor?
    I need to stress the point that this has never happened before with Snow Leopard.
    If I am the only one experiencing this then I suppose it may be an issue with the iMac or adapter or even the cable. But if anyone else can shed light on this problem, I'd really appreciate it.

    Hi Micheal,
    I've been experiencing the exact same issue with my new iMac I just bought.  I bought it refurb so I wasn't sure if it was a defect with the hardware or not.  Since I'm not the only one I will asume it's not for now.
    Setup:
    - iMac 27-inch 3.4GHz (Release May 2011)
    - Dell 2709W external monitor
    - Hooked in with mini display port to DVI adapter
    - Lion 10.7.3 all up to date to this day
    From what I've been able to gather the issue presents itself only when my Dell 2709W enters "Power Save Mode" after I do CTRL + SHIFT + EJECT or when the diplays simply goes to sleep by themselves.
    Although if I hit that combination and the displays goes to sleep but I don't wait long enough for my Dell monitor to actually "Power Save Mode" (wait like 2 sec) then touch the keyboard then the 2 displays (iMac and Dell) resumes from sleep without the issue presenting itself.
    I'm tempted to buy the mini-display port to HDMI just to see if the issue is still present with that adapter.  If I do I'll update my post with the outcome.
    If anyone else has any info to help with this issue it would be greatly appreciated.  It's very annoying when you resume from sleep and you find all of your windows that where opened on the external display before sleep squeezed into your main display (iMac).
    Thanks!

  • Premiere Pro Multi-Cam Angles on External Monitor

    On Mac OS 10.10.3 with a Blackmagic Intensity Pro and Premiere Pro CC 8.2...
    Is there a way to show multi-cam angles on an external monitor connected to the intensity via HDMI? Enabling "multi-cam" in my timeline only shows the angles on my computer, not the external monitor. The external monitor only shows the active angle.
    The feature is available in FCP7 with the click of a button --> show multicam angles.

    One editor's huge oversight is another editors yawn, of course. But for those like yourself doing much multi-cam with clients looking over their shoulder, yes, this would be a biggie. And you'll not find any disagreement about wanting it. So ... how about filing a bug/feature report about this? The teams actually do quantify these over time, and the bean counters look at these numbers as part of the logic of where they allow budget for changes/fixes to be allocated. So the more filed the better chance we'll get something like this changed.

  • Yosemite dual external monitors not recognized?

    I upgraded my Macbook Air this morning to Yosemite 10.10 from Mavericks.  Now, my Mac only recognizes one of my two external monitors. By this I mean that only one of my two external monitors appears in the Arrangement tab of the Display settings dialog box.  This setup worked previously under Mavericks though the mouse motion was jerky on the USB monitor.  Is this a bug or does Yosemite not support 2 external monitors?  The external monitor that works for Yosemite is connected through the DVI port.  The one that no longer works is connected through a USB port via an HDMI to USB adapter.  I've rebooted my Mac and the monitor several times and tried the second USB port on my Mac.  Both monitors are Samsung though they are different models. Suggestions?

    Same issue - but I fixed it! I had the same issues with my MBP while running Mavericks. I tried updated to Yosemite (my co-worker runs Yosemite and has no monitor issues) to no avail. It still did not want to acknowledge any external monitors. Finally I did away with the HDMI connections altogether. I bought to DVI to Thunderbolt cords (Cable Matters, Gold Plated) from Amazon and BOOM! Fixed. Both monitors fire right up every time I plug it up.
    I know its not a real fix...its still an issue that Apple needs to address, but it seems to be a great way to get around it until they do. Ive been using these cables for a couple of weeks now and still rocking. I hope this helps someone!

  • GS70 Stealth Pro Crashes when using external monitor..

    Hi Guys,
    I just bought a GS70 ghost pro a few weeks ago and have been loving it, no problems, running Battlefield 3 and watchdogs..
    However I just bought an external monitor, Asus VG248QE, when i connected it via display port and tried to play Battlefield 3 on the external monitor the laptop crashed - both screens blank- fan on- power button went orange- had to hold down the power button to reset.
    Tried it again, opened Bf3 in window mode, put it on external monitor, went to full screen - it played ok for a few minutes then the laptop crashed again..
    I had played bf3 no problems on the laptop screen previously.
    Anyone got any ideas what might be going on? I'm new to gaming on pc so I'm a bit lost, any suggestions would be welcome.
    Thanks,
    Dan
