PS (& afx) preview on a Broadcast TV Monitor?
I posted this on the AFX forum aswell, but seeing as it is relevant to P/Shop too I thought I’d give it a go!
——————————-Hi all,
A quick(ish!) question about previewing PS/AFX onto a Broadcast TV Monitor with YUV..
I’ve heard Photoshop CS2 has a firewire video preview via a hotkey, anyone had any experience with this?
I’m currently running AFX/PS, etc. on a PC with an old GeForce FX5200 vid card, 2GB RAM on a P4 proc. I want to be able to view my PS docs & AFX previews on a TV monitor (for field issues/true chroma & luma levels, etc.) and currently I have to render & upload TGAs to our DVS Clipstation to get a TV preview…not exactly an ideal workflow!
My boss won’t commit to a video I/O card as yet, due to decisions about imminent HD equipment upgrades, so I need a fairly cheap effective solution. Transferring the rendered footage to tape/edit suites is no problem via the Clipstation or VT[4]. I just need a short-term previewing solution?

Any other similar products that might be better? (around the

CS2 supports video out through a DV device (like DAC Canopus, etc.) or a deck/camera
For additional support… look to Synthetic Aperture’s Echo Fire.
AE has MANY more supported options built-in.. look under preferences and Video Output… adjust and see if your device is in the list
