  • Using a standard HDTV as a monitor

    Hey guys,

    Simple question:

    I have a standard HD TV that I’m using in a pinch to monitor a Varicam (as in, it’s a regular HD TV, not a specified video monitor). I can run from Mon Out to an RCA adapter in on the TV. So obviously the signal is SD, and for some reason it’s black and white too….

    But I want to know if I can run an HD signal out of the Varicam and send the HD signal to the TV (via HD-SDI right?). I assume I need an AJA converter box or something like it. Is this the case?

    So I just need to run HD-SDI out to AJA box to HDMI in? or to Component in?

    Sorry this is probably very elementary, but thanks for the help.

    Cheers,

    Adam Keyes

    Yes you can.

    From an I/O card in the edit would be best. You’d have SDI or maybe HDMI out.

    From the cam, run the SDI out thru an AJA box to HDMI to HDTV.
