View Full Version : Hooking the Sony LMD-2030W to my computer

I recently got the LMD-2030W for monitoring my HVX200, I took for granted that the LCD would have a DVI or VGA input which it doesn’t. I wanted to use this monitor for color correction work and general monitoring of my work in AE or PPro. What do I need to be able to use this monitor with my computer? I guess I would need some type of PCIE card that has a component or HDMI out? Can anyone recommend something? Thanks.

This should give you an idea as to products that are out there, to get you from where you are to where you need to go:

The biggest problem I see going from DVI to HDMI is how is HDCP handled?
I do not know. I suggest more research and ask questions.

Look for the Intensity or Intesity Pro card from Blackmagic Design.

Ivan that seems to be exaclty what I'm looking for. One question on the site it said the supported HD formats are 720p/60fps and 1080i. I'm shooting in 720/30p and 720/24p. Will thoes timelines from Adobe PPro play? Or woudl the poject need to be one of the "Support formats"? Tx
