Mirror on desktop with AJA LHi I/O card – what’s your setting?

[Shane Ross]

unchecked. Well, I don’t even have the driver that allows this to happen installed. I use my external as an external only. Not as a desktop extension.

No shane, I mean in the “AV Devices” tab under Audio Video settings. “mirror on desktop” it plays the canvas back on your local computer monitor AND to your external monitor with it turned on. I’m having issues with an update to Lion I helped with and it was working correctly on Leopard.

I keep mine turned off on snow leopard. So on my local computer monitor, it stays a still frame but updates when I pause the video.

Computer monitors are for viewing your NLE interface. Two monitors allow you to have more screen
real-estate.

Setting should ALWAYS be off while editing. For presentation purposes they are ok to turn on.

I’m not looking to preview full frame or full res, I just need to edit some with watching playback on screen so I don’t have to back away to watch on client monitor.
