Does Premiere support Full Screen Video playback?

[Jeff Brown]

Wouldn’t it be easier to buy a SDI card and skip the scan converter?

It will support full screen playback as long as you have 2 cards, or a good dual head. DVI or VGA.

It’s not a perfect solution as you may have some scaling issues depending on the footage. All you need to do is select the second screen as an “extended monitor” and select it in the playback settings.

You will also need a beefy GFX card on the second monitor side for smooth HQ playback, plan on $250.00 and up in the ATI/Nvidia series.

Of course , as Jeff said, SDI is the way to go, but it certainly is very expensive.

Or an HDMI card…those aren’t as expensive.

You might want to look at Matrox MX02 mini, there are versions for either laptop or desktop or with addition of a extra card-both, it will I/O HD/SD thru HDMI, Component, Y/C or Composite

AJA makes the I/O Express as well…it’s a solid option as well.

You didn’t tell us what format..DV or some HD format?

[George Socka]

plug in a DV ( assuming DV project) thing – camera, recorder, pyro, whatever. plug its video out to whatever you are recording into. No scan converter.

I agree with what has been said already. You can use the HDMI or even S-Video out of the graphics card. I still use a DV converter even when editing HD so that I can make use of two VGA/computer monitors while editing. The DV converter works decent with HD for CC, transitions and other things but some motion graphics will be a tad bit jerky because you are restricted to 720X480 resolution. There is a reason to get a Decklink card if you want to run dual computer monitors along side of the NTSC monitor.

This is just what I have been trying to do; show the monitor panel in full screen. I have a Windows XP laptop and would like to send the full screen monitor panel in Premiere to a projector so the hockey coach can review the game with the kids. I’m new to all the hardware mentioned in this thread but could anyone tell me “in layman’s terms” what hardware I would need to add to my laptop to make this happen. Right now the laptop has a VGA out that I use to connect to the “VGA in” on the projector. The projector also has “composite in”. All the footage is catured from standard resolution DV tape. Thanks very much for your help.
