That does sound a little complicated, I also don’t have a camcorder that I could easily use. Could you not just go from CS2 to your camcorder to the S-Video of your production monitor? It’s interesting that they couldn’t just use a preview similar to the one in After Effects. I hear CS3 is just around the corner so who knows what imporvments will be made. I really like what CS2 has done in regards to working with video so this preview issue is really a minor one.
It isn’t hyper critical to my work-flow but it would be a nice bonus. I enjoy the monitor out capability when working in After Effects but it would be nice to check colours and jitters right from Photoshop. Is this a hardware limitation or could someone at AJA write a software update. Just curious as I don’t really understand all the mechanics of the IO.
Head over to http://www.dharmafilm.com/sebskytools and download sebskytools. We have the same set up here and this program works great. Takes Avid bins to Final Cut batch lists and vice versa.
Thank you for the reply. My line-out from the Computer is taken up by the AJA which then run to a pair of Fostex Speakers which monitors my audio from the Beta Deck and FCP. Is there no way to set the audio output of my g5 to the AJA audio? Sorry if I’m not describing the problem correctley.
Wow that is really expensive. Does it matter if I’m not going to run any HD to the monitor? I don’t need it to run that far either, something like 10ft-15ft. Thanks for the advice though, I’ll pass it along to our IT department.
Thanks for the tip. After poking around on their website I learned the Dr.Bott Extentions won’t go further then 3m (needs a signal boost) or work with the 30inch model. Any other ideas?
