Preview to monitor via component out?
I have a HC1 and am using Vegas 7. When editing DV should I be able to see the preview on an external monitor via firewire to the camera and component out to the monitor? I know component out is working, I can see video on my capture screen and the external monitor when capturing video. I can not see it when playing the timeline. It does work via the composite video out but the Sony monitor only has S-Video in and component video in. I bought bnc > RCA adapters to use the component cable. I'm just wondering if I'm missing a setting or if this does not work.

You cannot use the 1394 output to send HD from the Vegas timeline to a converter for external preview like you can with DV.
HD monitoring occurs via HDMI, DVI, SVGA, or HD/SDI output from a card. That's it. if you put the HC7 into DV mode, you can preview HDV downconverted to SD in the same firewire methods as used before. |
I am using an HC1 not an HC7.
I understand I can not see HDV, I'm not trying to. My question is, with the camera set to DV, the Vegas timeline playing a DV (standard definition) clip, should I be able to see a standard definition preview on an external monitor using COMPONENT output from the camera?? Duane |
yes, you'll see preview on any analog output from the camcorder, without regard to model, as long as it allows passthru.
|
I guess the HC1 does not allow component passthru then, or there is some setting on the camera I'm missing. Composite passthru works fine but I get nothing when using the component cable. I've tried the component connection with both my Sony broadcast monitor and my 42" HD TV.

my hc-1's do not allow composite viewing either..only with the rca hookups that come with the camera...also, no audio is sent in pass through.
