seeing editing on external TV

[Highlightmaker]

I to am trying to do this. I have a Canopus ADVC110, but cannot see anything on the TV. The TV is a mono TV monitor. It is a little old. Let me tell you what I am doing and let me know where I am wrong.

1. CPU plugged into the DV IN/OUT part of the converter
2. RCAs plugged into the output part of the converter
3. Right channel and video plugged into TV monitor.

I believe I have the channel set correctly, but I am not sure if I am missing something else.

Thanks

False alarm…figured it out!!

I believe if you want to use a monitor to judge quality, safe area, color ect, one should use a broadcast monitor. They are not cheap.

I just finished a lengthy DVD project all the way from After Effects, Premier 1.5, and Encore. As inexpensive as DVD’s are these days I made all my technical judgements on a good Sony XBR television using DVD’s that I would burn through out the whole creation process. This is probably one of the best ways to really see what you will get as a final product.

A big pile of DVD’s are a whole lot cheaper than the over priced Canopus.
Like I once said if a screwdriver was labled as a video screwdriver it would be 15 times as expensive as the regular screwdriver that is it’s twin.

I do this by Fire wire out of computer to DVD recorder and then from there to TV. There is a delay of about 1 second.

It works now. As was suggested, I was using the firewire from Matrox’s card instead of using a regular firewire port. DOH! Thanks to everyone for the helpful suggestions.
