The way you conect the monitor it is not for “external preview device”. It is usefull if you drag the monitor window to the new monitor and use it only for this. In other words, In the notebook screen you have the timeline and in the other you have a full preview.
To use an external monitor you must have a tv/monitor and a camera/deck with firewire conections. Conect the camera/deck to the comnputer with fiorewire cables and video cable for the monitor/tv. Turn the preview external device icon on and you will have the picture in your monitor.
good luck

Thanks guys!
I will try but I am sure it is going to work. Anyway, people from sony could do this improvemnt. Add a option that allows us to select the audio output beetwen firewire or audio card/pc.
I use to work on vegas 5 and them I skip 6 and went direct to 7. Maybe there is the reason I never heard of that. Would you please explain how it works?

I have 2 sata drives that work together in raid. The picture of the preview is fine when I see it in a computer monitor even if there is a dissolve or any simple fx. But when I preview it on an exeternal monitor there is a losso of quality.
Lets see what happens when I add some more ram.

The reason I asked is because I am working in a friend’s project and he uses FCP that allows to capture in low res. He is doing that because he has shot a documentary with more than 100 hours. In low res he could capture everything. At the end, he will make a edl and send the original tapes to a finishing house that will not only make the tape-to-tape but also tranfer it to 35.
