output to monitor

Hello, gentle friends. Here's a super noobish question:

So, you know how on (insert reality show here) during a photo shoot, you see the various folks watching the stills as they're taken on a monitor? What does one need to hook one's still camera up to a monitor and see the output?

Did I read correctly that with still cams, you can't see the output until a photo's actually been taken, due to shutter and mirror placement?

So, do you simply take a USB cable from your cam to your computer, or what? Is there software involved? I have an Imac, as well as a CRT PC monitor. Also have my Sony Video Monitor, if that's useful. And a 42" plasma TV.

Video cameras, I understand. This still business, I do not.
