    3rd Monitor set up

    Posted by Brian Holson on August 5, 2008 at 3:55 pm

    Hi Everyone,
    I have a stand alone system with Avid MC. It has two DVI ports that are used for two edit monitors. I am looking to set up a 3rd monitor as a full screen client monitor. It is a 720p monitor with HDMI, VGA, composite, componet and s-video inputs. What is the best solution to help accomplish this? A second video card where I can go DVI to HDMI or is there another way besides a breakout box?

    Thanks in advance.

    What about hooking up a deck with HDMI out and connecting via firewire. The Sony HVR25mu or the JVC BR-HD50 come to mind. You’d turn video display output on when you need to, work faster with it off.
