    I have a FCP system I build in my home. I’ve got a G5 Quad, an aja card, and mainly edit on/to Beta SP or Mini DV. I use the aja junction box connected to my Beta SP deck.(PVW2800). I have a composite monitor hooked up to the composite out from the beta deck. This is a real pain.

    What I’d like to do buy a better monitor to use, with the hope that I can loop through the monitor to the Beta SP Deck. I’m currently looking at a used Sony PVM-20M2U.

    Another guy I know is using a Samsung 23″ LCD monitor. To me it looks nice, but how can you really tell what colors are correct? Also, I can loop through it.

    Anyone have suggestions on a low cost monitor?

    Now I also want to be able to add a DVD recorder and a MINI DV deck into my system. I imagine I need to either set up some type of routing system or patch system. What are you folks doing in this situation? On my old Media 100 system, I had a TecNec One-2 Punch that worked great! I don’t see this unit available anymore. Any suggestions on Monitor, and routing? Thanks much.
