  • monitoring via a VX2000?

    Posted by Robert Crockett on December 22, 2007 at 10:03 pm

    Hi,
    My JVC mini DV recorder just died and I’m trying to use my VX2000 as a temporary replacement for connecting to an external monitor. I’m using final cut studio 2/ leopard and although I can capture and view media in Log and Capture (device control functions work fine)
    I just can’t seem to be able to monitor while editing like the JVC did… any advice would be really helpful!
    …by the way, does anyone have any suggestions for a good replacement unit for the JVC SR-VS20U for around $1000?.. basically just for capturing mini dv and to connect FCP to an external monitor.
    Thanks, Rob

    Your camera needs to be in VTR mode, and you should poke around in the camera menus to find something that looks like “E to E out” or “EE out”.

    Hi ..

    put the VX2000 in vtr mode and set the “A/V->DV out” option in the menu to off. Its the 3rd option under ” VCR set” on the menu.
