External Video through DVI
I thought this may help other in their quest for a better monitor ouput.
While waiting for the AJA drivers for CS4 (will they ever come?) I decided to trade that trusty SDI cable for a DVI out to our Panasonic LH 1760.
I first tried taking the the second output of our NVIDIA 8800, no luck. So I decided to pop in the older but still very reliable Quadro FX 3600, and the option to output to the monitor came up in the Premiere playback settings. There it was a real time, full quality, full screen output to the monitor.
Now, it was stretched. The Panasonic is 1280×768 native, so I set the NVidia scaling option to none and I have to say this is as good as the SDI output for the AJA Xena, minus the audio and waveform / vectorscope display on the monitor which are only available with SDI or component. There is also a 1 or 2 frame video delay due to processing but I can live with that.

Interesting finding, Vince. I have a Matrox APVe Triple Head Display card in one of my studio workstations. Up to this point, when CS4 was released, we have edited most projects with Sony Vegas 8.0c and 8.1 64bit(still buggy). The Matrox third head HDTV out would not work with Vegas. Do you have any knowledge that CS4 might work with this card? Will test and report back.
