  Setup external tv monitor

  Posted by Murena on July 15, 2005 at 2:40 pm

  I am trying to setup FCP 4.5 to playback on my tv monitor. My hardware config: ATI Rage pro with 1280×1024 computer monitor and ATI Radeon 9200 with 1280×1024 computer monitor and on the S-video I connected a tv monitor. In FCP I cannot view playback on my tv monitor. How do I setup? When I choose view/video playback/digital cinema desktop preview-main it plays on my startupmonitor, when any other selection view/video playback/digital cinema desktop preview-(-,full screen,raw) it plays on my second monitor but how do i setup to play on my tv monitor? Thanks for reply

  Do you have a DV deck? if so, then you go in/out Firewire, and use the analog output from the deck to go to your TV.

  I think that the S-video out on the ATI, is going to show the output of your computer screen, not the output of FCP.

  If you want to go analog out, you’ll probably need an additionnal card like the decklink

  Even if you don’t have a DV deck, but you have a mini DV cam with analog out, you probably can still do it that way. (go in DV, go out analog and make sure in the cam’s menu you set the EE on so the signal goes through)

  that’s my thinking, but I might be off track

  have fun,

  Markyy is correct. You need a DV deck or DV Camcorder to do this properly. You don’t want to use the output of your video card, unless it’s a high quality video capture card, which the ATI is not.
