  • DaVinci resolve 8 on MacBook pro 17in with external monitor

    Posted by Milo Djurovski on August 3, 2011 at 5:09 pm

    Dear All,
    I was just wondering would it be possible to work on DaVinci Resolve on MacBook Pro (17in 2.53GHz i5
    NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M) and use external monitor through HDMI port as a preview monitor.

    I do get everything connected and all works fine, but DaVinci shows on either or between these two monitors (macbook pro’s one, or external).
    If i am not clear, to put it in other words:Would it be possible to use DaVinchi interface on one side (for example, laptop’s screen) and watch grade on the other (external monitor).

    It loks like its not possible, or its just me not seeing where that command is.
    If possible, how?

    Thanks

    If its not in the BM config guide then I doubt it.
    We had to get a DeckLink for our MacPro just to do this.
    Wish you luck cause Id love it if we could use the HDMI for viewing.

    TNX, makes some sence.
    It si too much work to sell for only a grand. They will make money on hardware. And they deserve it, but still don’t get it entirely, since there is a feed from lap top to external monitor, why they didn’t split the interface in such maner.
