Timeline output to external monitor

Hi - I'd like to see the timeline output on an external monitor (TV set with composite in) while editing. I'm told the only way to do this is to purchase an input-output card and one of the most reasonably priced ones seems to be the Pinnacle Movie Box. Does anyone know if this compatible with Premiere Pro CS3? Will it do what I want it to? If not, what is the best solution?
Thanks in advance...

For the moment, neither SD nor HD, but just simple DV :) But I'd like to buy something that can handle HDV, as I'll be editing a project soon. The output need not be great - after all, it's going to an ordinary TV set, not a precision reference monitor. The purpose of this additional monitor is to screen unfinished portions of the film to other people. I might have people come in to give their comments during the editing, so it's useful to be able to output the timeline.
Pinnacle lists four products on their site: Studio MovieBox Plus, Studio MovieBox Ultimate, Studio MovieBoard and Studio MovieBoard Ultimate. Do they all work? Which of them would you recommend? Or would you suggest someting else altogether?
Thanks very much.

  • How can I view my timeline on an external monitor?

    I have a brand new mac pro tower hooked up via DVI to HMDI cable to my HD tv in my living room and I play quicktime movies and things all the time to that TV from my computer no problem.
    Does any one know how to view your Final Cut timeline on an external monitor?
    It's such a pain but what I've been doing lately is just exporting a final cut quicktime and playing it via Quicktime for clients to see but I'd rather not do that and just play off the timeline.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Umm, frankly, you missed a lot in the manual then.
    You are on the right track but the flaw in your thinking is using DVI from your video card to your tv. From Final Cut Pro, all you're getting is an extension of your desktop, that's it.
    To do what you want, you need a dedicated video input/output card from Aja or Blackmagic Designs. You may want to look at the [Intensity Pro|http://www.blackmagic-design.com/products/intensity> for a very low cost monitoring solution if all you're looking at is monitoring through hdmi.

  • Satellite Pro U300: DVD issue - error: cannot output to external monitor

    Hi,
    I was having problems playing a dvd on my U300.
    Basically the software would load but when I tried to play the dvd it said "cannot output to external monitor".
    Having gone through all options I could not find anything to stop this happening. I then downloaded the latest software from the toshiba site.
    dvdpl-20070807102909.zip
    I resintalled this but got the same error message.
    I then uninstalled the software and tried to reinstall but now it just produces an error mesaage saying it cannot intsall the software on this computer.
    How can I reinstall this?
    Regards,
    Mark

    I presume you have received the Toshiba Recovery CD. Am I right?
    On this CD you can find the Toshiba image file. This image contains the Vista OS, Toshiba drivers, tools and additional software.
    But note; you cannot install only a single program. To reinstall a application from the Recovery CD you have to format the HDD and have to reinstall the whole OS using the Recovery CD.
    As Gipsyman said, the Toshiba driver page contains update and the original preinstalled software is needed.

  • FCP Problem with Firewire output to external monitor and speaker ???Help

    i have a g5 powermac. the problem is when using Final cut pro 4hd. when i output my work through firewire to my external monitor and speaker i have a problem with the audio signal. Theres feedback/noise/hiss from the speakers. The firewire connects to DSR-11 vtr deck which feeds my monitor and speakers. it only happens when in FCP is set to A/V firewire output. does not happen if Video output is not set to firewire.
    I Diagnosis is that it is not my dsr-11 deck or firewire i've ruled those out. The problem is either FCP software or Hardware problem with my G5
    Does anyone have a similar problem. please respone, i will try to answer any respones,
    Thanks
    powermac g5     powermac

    CaptM
    From the firewire that feeds the dsr-11. on the output, i use s-video cable to my monitor (sony pvm-14l) and High Quality rca cables thet feed the audio to the Roland Speakers.
    I've changed all wires and still have audio problem. I,ve changed my Dsr-11 deck to my camcorder and still have the problem.
    If any of u guys use FCP The problem happens When I select view> external Monitor > and select firewire for Audio/ and video. I have never changed my editing habits, something just went wrong with the signal, I think its a Hardware problem with the firewire connection. I'm Going to have to bring this to a Apple Service Center In my local area one day.

  • FCP DV Output to External Monitor Quality Problem

    Hi there, I'm using Final Cut Pro HD from Final Cut Studio 2, and I'm having a problem with the quality of the image on my external monitor. I have checked all the settings etc... for external video and they all seem right, but when I play the video in my canvas the signal into my camera lcd and onto my ntsc monitor is not correct. It plays the video; however, it also has a constant stream of large grey squares flashing across the TV. I would say 50% of the output signal is my video, and then 50% of the screen is taken up by these large moving grey squares.
    I have all my windows fit to screen, I've choosen the Apple FireWire NTSC option in the A/V settings, and I have the all frames checked in the View tab.
    It seems like only half of the signal is making it's way from FCP to my camcorder. At first I thought it was my NTSC monitor, but when I saw that the grey squares are also showing up in my camcorder's lcd screen I figured that it must be a problem coming from FCP.
    Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!

    You'd think so, but I'd try another anyway...
    Another thing that might be amiss is the power management on your Mac. There is a PMU button on the motherboard of your machine you can reset. You need to unplug it from power first however. It's under the fan you can remove to add RAM...

  • What do you need to get video output to external monitor

    Hello,
    I'm fairly new to Color and have read a few posts that color can't be viewed by firewire to an external monitor. Basically what I have right now for external viewing in FCP is a JVC SR-VS30 Mini DV NTSC deck with firewire connected to my computer. From the deck it goes to a small TV set and a Sony Trinitron PVM color video monitor. What do I need extra to be able to see my color correction in Color on an external monitor. BTW in Color currently the Video Output tab in Setup>User Prefs is grayed out showing Disabled. I suppose that when I get whatever I need to see Color on an external monitor that this tab would NOT be grayed out or would I have to set some other settings.
    Thanks.

    Well, you can waste a lot of time and money trying to get your old iron up to speed but the sad fact is, even though it may work with Color, it will most likely end in a less than satisfactory experience all around. You need to determine if your G5 has PCI, PCI-x or PCIe slots and then purchase the appropriate cards.
    However, Final Cut Studio 2 is optimized for the Intel processors. You will see users here and there using the newest models G5 with great success but quite honestly, you need a Mac Pro.
    Or just purchase the Aja IO/HD which is a firewire 800 interface and the only firewire device that will preview externally Color.

    Note: the external monitor works fine with my desktop computer and with a T400 laptop.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Follow-up:
    I have tried the latest "generic" Intel driver after completely uninstalling the device driver from device manager: without success.
    I have tried another monitor from a different manufacturer: no luck.
    To eliminate the device driver as a possible cause, I tried booting from an Unbuntu boot CD: no luck.
    I have enabled boot display on the VGA port in the BIOS: screen remains black.
    I am suspecting that the VGA port on my brand new Lenovo Thinkpad T420 is simply not working at all.
    I have opened a call with my hardware support.

  • VGA output to External Monitor or Projector

    One of the main reasons I bought the iPad is to start using it as my travel devise instead of the bulky MacBook. I make a lot of sales presentations using Keynote but I also have to demonstrate Web application using browsers such as Safari. I was totally crushed to discover that the VGA output only works with certain applications and DOES NOT WORK with Safari. So much for using the iPad as a travel device! You would think given that using a browser is at least 50% of what most people do on these devices, Apple would have found a way to provide VGA output for Safari! They certainly missed the boat on this one big time.
    Does anyone know of an App that would allow you to run the browser through a "Video" wrapper so it can be seen on an external monitor or projector? Here is an idea for a creative developer to make a ton of money! It will make my iDud (did I say that?) be worth taking along on a trip. If i am staying home I can watch movies on my desktop, I don't need the VGA for watching movies!

    First and foremost, I love my iPad, using it for the many things it does as my personal tablet is great!
    While experimenting with it for a mobile work device, or a lightweight travel device, I've had mixed results.
    I understood when buying the iPad that it was not a Mac or PC replacement, I'm just surprised at the limitations.
    On the VGA out cable, I gotta say I tried to do the same level of research, but unfortunately being a relative newby to the Apple experience, I fell for the Apple makes it quicker simpler easier, they think of everything hype. I too thought that a VGA out cable would do exactly that and did not see anything that described the limitations.
    I also think Apple missed the boat here, they could have made this the perfect lightweight travel/mobile companion device to whatever Mac/PC is sitting back at the office. I understand they are trying to protect their Mac business, but this could have been a perfect Trojan horse for them. By getting PC users hooked on Keynote/Pages/Numbers on an iPad, they would have been more inclined to purchase a Mac to replace whatever they currently have.
    I know I would have.
    I'm using this in business today, I'm accessing all of our web enabled back office tools without issues and using webmail to access outlook, basically 75% of my daily work can be accomplished on my iPad.
    The webex app works great, but doesn't support the VGA out (nor did it say anywhere that it would or wouldn't).
    The remaining 25% of my works needs fall to these apps:
    I want to use Numbers, but can't, since it won't export in .xls format, which is what the rest of my company, is standardized on.
    I will be able to use Keynote in a Kiosk mode at tradeshows or in meetings to project via the VGA connector, but won't be able to use it for any serious work since I can't export in .PPT format.
    I won't be purchasing Pages, while it does save in a .DOC format, I'm now leery of what it won't do, and without the ability to use Numbers and the limited use of Keynote, this keeps me from using this more in the business world.
    While it may sound like I’m whining, I’m not, I’m trying to express a few of the short comings, that could have made a similar impact to my business life as it has within my personal life.
    In addition, for folks doing research, I hope this helps clarify some of the items that appear to be more difficult to find.

  • Lenovo Helix - Issue outputting to external monitor

    I received my Lenovo Helix today and am having issues outputting to an external monitor. During initial setup output was working but with the occasional flicker, so I performed all Windows Updates and Lenovo updates, however now it will not output to external at all. Monitor is a Dell 2740L 1080p monitor using a Kanex MDPHD10ft mini displayport to HDMI cable. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Lenovo Helix i7 256gb... wish I bought a Surface Pro for better support...

    Has anyone found a solution for this issue yet? I was unable to get the Intel HD Graphics driver 9.17.10.2932 or 9.17.10.3071 to work. Sent the computer in to Lenovo; they have replaced the motherboard three times. I'm surprised that each time they sent the computer back, they didn't check to see if they had actually fixed the output problem.
    It appears that the problem lies in the Intel HD Graphics 4000 driver (see: http://www.eightforums.com/graphic-cards/7743-those-troubled-hdmi-sync-issues-intel-hd-3000-4000-etc... ).
    For a company with a long legacy of sucess, Lenovo has sure disappointed this time. It's going to be hard to recommend their computers to anyone if they can't even acknowledge that they put a nonfunctioning port on their laptops.

  • Force OS X to send output on external monitor

    Hi.
    I just got a new Macbook Pro and wanted to use it with my Apple Cinema HD 23"-display, but I got
    some problem. For a couple of months ago the cable to my Apple Cinema was damaged and I had
    to solder it togheter. It worked perfectly with my PC but when I now try to connect it to my macbook
    it isn't recognized by OS X.
    My question is now if it is possible to force os x to recognize this external monitor? I use a minidisplay->DVI-adapter.
    Edit: If someone have the correct pinouts for the Apple Cinema 23" it would have been great, since I suppose there is some problem with my soldering.

    Okay. The sad part is that the monitor works with my PC (Which do not need to identify it before use)...
    It's just the cable which is damaged, not the display itself. A pinout of the cable would be great, or a url where to buy a new one .

  • Output to external monitor fail after few seconds

    hi
    i upgraded my x61+X6 utlrabse docking st. to X200 with X200 ultrabase docking station.
    i have a DELL  20 inch LCD as my external mointor.
    the docking statition is connected using a USB-KVM to the external monitor.
    with the X61 i manage to see the external monitor 
    with the X200 i see the external monitor  and after10 sec it goes down.
    few more related facts:
    1)i can see in the Windows Vista HW and Driver setting that the DELL SP2008 screen is  registeredbut than after10 sec it disaapear and screen goes off.
    2) when i goes to Intel Graphics Media Accelerator the only option is the choose only laptop display and no external one is shown.when i swith with the kvm to another computer (actually disconnecting the external monitor) and goes back to X200 i can see for 10 sec the external monitor.
    any idea what is the problem ?
    Thanks

    I am seeing the same behavior with a T420s and a Trendnet TK-409 KVM. The KVM works with all other laptops and desktops I have connected to it so this is surprising. Any help or suggestions would be highly appreciated. Thank you.

  • No 1920x1080 output to external monitor from MBP 2011 OSX 10.6.8

    Hi, I have a MBP 2011 running OSX 10.6.8.
    I have recently purchased an Asus ML249H Monitor and the Kanex Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Cable 10 ft (3 m) MDPHD10FT.
    The monitor should display at 1920x1080 natively but does not. The MBP max output resolution is 1600x900 on this screen. Is this a known issue with the MDPHD10FT cable or is it OSX? What it the work around to get 1920x1080.
    Thanks

    i had to go into iCal Preferences and delete my account and then put it back in.  Everything is working fine, now.

  • [SOLVED] Can't send output to external monitor

    I've got a Dell Inspiron 1501 laptop which I sometimes use to give presentations at my school. Last time, in mid october, it worked perfectly, but now my laptop and the digital projector seem to ignore each other. The only difference between last time and now is that I've updated the system.
    This is output of xrandr -q:
    $ xrandr -q
    Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1280 x 800, maximum 4096 x 4096
    VGA-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
    LVDS connected 1280x800+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 331mm x 207mm
    1280x800 61.0*+
    It says that VGA-0 is disconnected, which isn't the case. I've tried pressing Fn+CTR/LCD but it doesn't make any difference.
    Can anyone tell me if I am missing something? What's wrong? Why doesn't it work now if it worked fine just over a month ago? Is this a problem with the new X server?
    I know I'm asking a lot of questions, but I'd really appreaciate any help. I wouldn't like my students to get the idea that Linux is unreliable (or maybe that I'm just not smart enough).

  • PPro CS5 no Video output to external monitor

    I am using Pr Pro CS5. I have a Sony HDV DVCAM deck (HVR-M25U) that is  plug into my computer with firewire, then from my deck I have a JVC  DT-V20l1 HD monitor with companent cables.
    In PPro under the program monitor, I put the plackback to show the deck.
    On the deck the iLink is turn off.  (no video with it turned on as well).
    I worked on one project and the video was there in the ext. monitor.  Opened an old project that I was working on before and there is no video on the monitor.
    The settings have not been changed.  the only difference is a brand new edit system, but I had video plackback.

    Colin,
    I don't know if i am using MPE/GPU acceleration.
    I have an Dell XPS 9100 Computer.
    3.33 ghertz
    24 gigs of ram
    Quadro 4000 graphics card.
    I figured that if CS5 had all the requirements.  Mercury Engine playback, rendering would just be screaming on this machine.  It works great, Multi layers of video seem to take a bit longer to render, but no video through the deck and on my ext hd monitor.
    it was once there, now it is gone.  I have updated PPro with all the updates.

  • How do I output to external monitor in real time? Thought FCP6 could.

    I have been looking through the manual for FCP6 and can't seem to find out "HOW" to output HDV through firewire while editing. Thought this was a new feature you would not need an HD card like Kona etc. Is it even possible? or is there more to it than they say?

    IT will, yes. But it will convert the image to a DV image, which is fine for watching, but not at all good for judging the quality of your image or for color correction.
    Giogiangogo gave you a good starting point to look.
