    Hi-

    We’ve just put Combustion 4 with a new avid. I would like to view my composite on my NTSC monitor.

    the Adrenaline hardware does not show up in combustions preferences framebuffer menu.
    But Discreets homepage says:

    “Note that combustion also supports the QuickTime Video Output Component standard, which may provide compatibility with additional cards not listed here. Check with the hardware manufacturer for QuickTime framebuffer compatibility information.”

    So I”m thinking this could work-but not sure?
    Can anyone clarify ?
    THX.

    I would not think it would work, as Avid is not a Quicktime based application (plays OMF and MXF files, not Quicktime).

    Well, Avid does provide video output via the BOB through After Effects. It does so by installing a plug in called EMP (external monitor preview).

    It probably would be somewhat easy for Avid to code a similar version for Combustion. But, they would have to want to do it.

    You may still be able to get video out of one of your other firewire ports via a plug in and converter.

    It comes with both Xpress Pro and Adrenaline. This is a DNA only product.
