Suddenly lost 2nd monitor display in DV project
For some strange reason I’ve suddenly lost the ability to send my timeline video to my 2nd monitor in a DV project. I no longer have the option to use this monitor in my playback settings options…however, I do have this ability and option if working in an HDV project. Can someone help me out here, or did I just dream that a 2nd monitor works with a DV project? Thanks!

I don’t know how you’ve set up your system, but going from HDV to DV on mine, I have to re-set the graphics card. Also, your DV project may still be set to playback on firewire hardware, and your card is set to your graphics card overlay. So it’d appear as if you have no monitor, but you have to re-set proeject settings not to playback on firewire hardware. Or if you’re playing back on DV hardware, make sure your monitor is set to your DV hardware, not the graphics card. Sounds confusing, I know, but unless I know what graphica card, how it’s wired to the monitor, and what your project settings are, it’s impossible to say why you’re losing your 2nd monitor. But look into the playback option. That’d be my guess.

I’m using an ATI 9800 Pro, which is certified by Adobe for use with PPro 2. For playback settings in a DV project, suddenly I do not have the option to select my 2nd monitor, just the option to play out via firewire. In an HDV project I do have the option to select my 2nd monitor, but no firewire. A few days ago I had the same option in DV as I still do in HDV…I’m very puzzled as to what caused this to change. There’s a setting somewhere that’s been changed, but I can’t think of what it could be, thus the request for help from the forum.

You can’t review HDV on firewire, so that option is normal. If your monitor is not set to the DV deck, but the card, make sure the DV option in the playback menu is NOT clicked. Also, make sure your card is set to overlay. Also, you have to be on a video line from the card to the monitor, and the HDTV line (component) unpluged. At least that’s how mine works. Having them both plugged in and toggling between the two, creates a video drop on the tv, and I don’t get true color in composite. As for setting the card to overlay, I don’t now how the ATI works. or a more slimple option is to play DV hardware when you’re in DV mode and run it through a deck or a camera to the monitor. Sorry I can’t help with the card.
