How do I set up to preview my project on my External Video Monitor?

The way I have it set up is I have a 6 pin to 4 pin firewire cord going out of my external drive into my camera and out of my camera’s S-video into my preview monitor. Not the optimal solution but works for me since I only have 1 firewire out of my laptop. Ideally you will have a firewire directly out of your computer to a deck or conversion box and out of that into your preview monitor. Then go to preferences and find video preview, choose firewire from the drop down menu.
The way I have it works just fine, I actually have 2 external FW drives daisy chained so audio begins to lag when I preview longer projects in FCP, but for my average AE project I don’t have that problem.
There may be other more optimal solutions but this works for me.
