powerbook as videomonitor
Hi there.
I put an anamorphic adaptor on my camera but I really don’t feel like measuring distances or using several charts before I can focus. I would like a monitor instead to focus with, but I looked at a number of portable monitors and most seem to be as expensive as the camera itself. Maybe this sounds naive, but I know my my 15″ powerbook (g4 1.5 Gigahrz) is capable of showing very sharp images. Isn’t there a program that turns a powerbook into a videomonitor. I tried to use webcamprograms, or just imovie, but then the image is very much low resolution and hardly useful as a videomonitor. Is anybody aware of useful software?
Thanks,

DV Rack by Serious Magic. I saw this in a supply catalog that I receive. It lists for $295 in Markertek. It looks really good on paper and I am looking at checking it out myself. If you get it, post back on here and let me know how it is and I will do the same. Here is what it claims:
pro field monitor
DV recorder
video analyzer
audio spectrum analyzer
DV grabber
Waveform & Vectorscope
SureShot module
Timer/clock Stopwatch -
One claim it does not make- Mac compatibility.

Hi there,
thanks for your reply. I have looked at Serious Magic’s website, but it doesn’t seem to run on Apple, so there I have a problem. There must be some other solution; it can’t be too difficult to find a webcamprogram with high resolution?

Sorry Noah, I hadn’t seen your post yet. Same problem here.
