    Setting up a monitor

    Posted by Luis Pinto on January 13, 2008 at 9:50 pm

    Hey,

    I’m a total rookie when it comes to setting up hardware. I’m getting a new PC just for Avid Media Composer. I’m wondering what do I need to set up a monitor. Do I need hardware, software..etc!?

    Also: where do one purchase a cheap monitor….

    Thank you in advance

    Luis,

    You want a Mojo.
    Other transcoders work if you do DV only, but the delay between the image and the timeline will drive you nuts.
    If you want a cheap monitor, pick up a used CRT video monitor.

    Which monitor are you talking about, the computer monitor / edit window, or an external monitor for video viewing?

    Hey,

    thanks for the replies.

    I guess I’m talking about an external monitor to work with my Avid…

    Many thanks

    as mentioned, a mojo will allow ya to connect an NTSC monitor.
