Second preview monitor for presentation

I'll try to explain. Can I mirror the desktop of my Macbook Pro to a monitor on stage to show me the presenter notes, while projecting the presentation onto a screen for the audience.

Try going to System Preferences…Displays, then click the arrangement tab. You should see three screens displayed there (PB, Presenter display and projector). Option-Drag the PB display over the on stage presenter display. That should mirror just those two displays.

  • Preview monitor for FCP

    I have two 20" cinema displays powered by an ATI 1900 display card and would like to have a third monitor for preview. Can I put in another display card and route the realtime display to this card and monitor?
    If this is possible what recommendation would you suggest
    for a good single panel display card?
    Mac Pro 2.66   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    You can add an ATI Radeon X1900 XT

    or NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT
    <http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=20 858E48&nplm=MA567Z%2FA>
    ATI Radeon X1900 XTs have to go in slot one or two (covering slot three as well).
    NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GTs can go in any slot.
    If you are going to use one 1900 and one 7300, put the 1900 in slot one, and the 7300 in slot four. Set the PCI-Express bus to x16 x1 x1 x8.
    If you use two 1900s, set the PCI-Express to x8 x8 x1 x8.

  • External Monitor as Preview Monitor for FCP 7

    Hey guys,
    I recently purchased a ViewSonic monitor for use with monitoring my output from FCP. I've hooked it up but it doesn't seem to be working.
    The ViewSonic has DVI and VGA outputs. I can go straight to the Mac no problem through DVI, but that just gives me an extended desktop.
    I have a Scan Converter that is plugged into firewire to the Mac, and then VGA to the Monitor. I thought it would be that simple, but I guess not???
    If anyone has any insight it would be really appreciated! Thanks!

    to preview from FCP you need an NTSC or PAL LCD or CRT colour monitor, not a computer monitor. You will need a digitising card for SDI or analogue output from the Mac: http://blackmagic-design.com/products/decklink/
    or a camera or deck with Firewire if you need to use a Firewire connection.
    The manual explains in detail how to set this up.

  • Dual Displays Plus a Preview Monitor for FCP Supported?

    Hello! I have the iMac 20" and do video editing. Beyond using a second display for an extended desktop, is it possible to have an additional monitor/TV for the preview while editing or for playback?
    Thanks!
    iMac (early 2006)   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   Also Running Windows XP Pro SP2

    Here is my own answer, check out the Matrox MXO, it is a great add-on for the iMacs.

  • Can I open a second Source Monitor for the audio track of a video?

    I really dislike having to switch to the audio waveform in the Source Monitor pane when I want to tinker with a clip's audio track. I usually try to stay away from needing to use a panes drop down menu as much as possible. Is there a way to get this in a different window?
    Using CS6

    You cant tinker with the audio track in the Source Monitor. Apart from IN and Out Point setting.
    Normally one would expand the audio track in the time line...zoom in/out to suit and maybe use the tilde shortcut  key to view it all full screen.

  • Good (cheap) second monitor for 20"CD

    I am looking for a second (LCD) monitor for my 20" Core Duo. It doesn't need to be top of the line for video or photo editing or anything like that: I just want more real estate and want to take advantage of the Core Duo's ability to use extended desktop mode.
    Anyway, does anyone have any tips on a good but cheap sceond monitor? I am looking at a 19" size.
    So far, the best deal I have found is a Viewsonic 19" for $259 on ZipZoomFly (delivery included). It says it is Mac and PC compatible (says it will work with G3,G4,G5 Macs and that it has VGA for PC, so it should work with my intel iMac? I have a mini-DV to VGA adapter I bought with the machine.). I am familiar with Viewsonic and consider them to be ok.
    Any other suggestions?

    Try a hardware calibrator one monitor at a time. They have gotten somewhat cheaper though no great bargains. You ran the expert mode Apple Colorsync calibrator on each by eye? If so didn't the color discrepancies appear then?
    Any pro digital labs where you live - one here in Toronto will come and color match up to 5 monitors for $100.

  • Use iPad as Preview Monitor with DSLR (nikon)...possible?

    Hi all
    I have the idea to purchase the iPad but a still have a question...is it possible to us it as preview monitor for my dslr (nikon d300) using a cable input?
    thx a lot
    cheers

    The closest thing I've seen to this is this app:
    http://www.ononesoftware.com/products/dslr-camera-remote/
    It supports only some models of camera, and requires the the camera be tethered to a laptop, to which you then connect wirelessly from the iPad. I don't know if that would be useful to you, but it might be worth a look.
    And while not a preview app, ShutterSnitch might be useful in your workflow.
    As wireless camera systems become more common and functional, we may eventually see remote-control apps that can connect directly to the camera, not requiring an intervening laptop. This is already partially possible for photographers with a Leaf or a Mamiya digital back.
    Regards.

  • Preview Monitor and Exporting Quality Issues

    Hello, in a previous life I was a video editor from the world of Avid and I just picked up Premiere for an emergency side mission at my current place of employment and I have run into a couple issues with CS4.
    1. The preview monitor for the Sequence displays a lower quality of the video that comes from the uploaded Clip and it also does not play back at a steady frame rate. However, when I look at the Clip in the secondary preview monitor that is reserved for clips, titles, etc, the video quality is as high as what is expected. How do get the sequence monitor to playback at the quality the clips are uploaded as and how do I get the playback to do so at a steady 30fps?
    2. My exporting experience was based around dubbing directly to Beta tapes and I never really had to do any digital file exporting. I need some tips on what to export a Sequence as that will retain a high amount of the quality while also keeping the file size to what will fit on a disk. The video length in this case would never be more than 5 minutes as I am only working on sales videos. Also, the file needs to be playable in Windows Media Player.
    Thank you in advance for any help on these issues.

    Please provide
    these details to help us help you.
    Cheers

  • How can i use my smart TV as a second monitor for my Power mac (2010) via HDMI cable? i've made the connection but no options show in system prefs display.

    How can i use my smart TV as a second monitor for my Power mac (2010) via HDMI cable? i've made the connection but no options show in system prefs display.
    the computer:Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.9.5), 2 x 2.66 Ghz 6-Core intel Xeon
    the TV: LG Smart tv

    The Mac uses a highly-parameterized universal Driver for every display. The parameters are set at certain times when a query is sent to your display. The display MUST answer with its name and capabilities, or the screen stays dark. A TV set that is off or "not paying attention" because it is set to a different port when the query occurs will rarely answer, and so will often remain dark.
    You can use tools in the System Report to see whether your display has been detected at all. If it has, the report will look something like this, but its name will appear:
    The times when the query is sent are:
    • at Startup
    • at wake from sleep
    • when the Mac-end of the cable is inserted
    • when using the Option ( Detect Displays ) button in displays preferences

  • How to use Macbook Pro 17" as a second monitor for iMac?

    I have a new iMac with Lightning connector and USB. And I have a Macbook Pro 17" with Firewire and USB. Is there a way to connect the Macbook Pro to the iMac and make it into a second monitor for my iMac?
    Thanks!

  • How to use an iMac as a second monitor for an iMac

    I have two 21.5 inch iMac's (late 2009) and I want to use one as a second monitor for the other. I have a Mini DisplayPort to Mini DisplayPort connector but when I connect it to both computers, nothing happens. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong once they're plugged in or if I have the wrong cable all together. Any tips or advice would be much appreciated. Thanks

    Not going to work, the ONLY 2009 / 2010 iMacs that supported Target Display Mode were the 27" models, 21.5" models simply will not work. Please read Apple FAQ on TDM and you will see I am correct.
    Target Display Mode: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
    While Neil is correct, Screen Recycler's performance is not that good so the user experience probably will not be worth it.

  • Can I use My Ibook G4 as a Second Monitor For My Mac Mini G4

    Hi
    I wonderd if theres any way of being able to use my 14'' Ibook G4 as a second monitor for my Mac Mini G4? I already have a Samsung SyncMaster 913n. Is there any way of doing this by firewire using both monitors, if not what cables would I need?
    Thanks

    There is a application called Synergy which you may find useful. It allows the keyboard, mouse and clipboard to be shared across computers, and even different operating systems. It's not strictly what you have asked for as each computer still runs it's applications (and operating system) separately, meaning you can not drag windows between the screens, but by allowing you to copy and paste between the computers, and seamlessly slide your mouse and keyboard input between them you may get the effect you desire. Oh, and it is free and open-source, so why not give it a whirl?
    You will need to connect the machines with a TCP/IP network, which can be done either with an ethernet patch cable, or alternatively as you suggest, using FireWire - these two articles may assist you in setting that up: IP over FireWire in Panther and Tiger.
    As a point of note, a commercial program, MaxiVista allows exactly what you are looking for under Microsoft Windows.
    Hope that helps.

  • In Itunes store, song preview plays for only 5-10 seconds and then stops. Songs in my Itunes library play start to finish.

    In Itunes store, song preview plays for only 5-10 seconds and then stops. Songs in my Itunes library play entirely from start to finish.

    My Itunes previews have been playing fully now for the past few days. After trying every suggestion possible to fix the problem of 5-10 second previews, I took the advice on one feed to use OpenDNS for your network internet connection. There are internet sites that will instruct you how to do it. Just Google "opendns for (your operating system)". I have Windows XP and followed a video instruction at www.top-windows-tutorals.com/using-opendns.html. Afterward, close your browser and then flush the DNS Resolver cache; Start/Run, type CMD in the open field, click OK, in resulting window type ipconfig/flushdns, press return on keyboard. No guarantees, but my browser is faster and my Itunes previews are playing fully so far. But I still shudder every time I hit the preview button.
