  • dual monitor output on a t2i?

    Is it possibe to connect the t2i to multiple monitors for filming? We are working on a project involving puppetry, and since we aren’t professional puppeteers, it is helpful to see whats going on on camera. But with just one monitor, the videographer can’t see what’s happening as well..

    You would have to split the HDMI signal coming from the camera – if you have the budget, you can send it to a splitter of some form and then hook up monitors. The bummer is that the T2i is sporadic with display – it will show on the external monitor during framing and focus, then it cuts out when you record and then it pops up on the screen again. I highly recommend using a power adapter for the T2i.
