Hello everyone,
This is my first post here, though I've been reading the posts for quite a while and found them immensely helpful. My question is this:
I'm trying to set up my Mac Pro (FCP Studio 5.1.4) for use with an external monitor for post production work (color correction, etc). My Mac currently has two LCD Computer monitors attached and I'd like to add an HD CRT TV. I'm trying to spend as little as possible, so I was thinking about getting this:

My camera is the Canon XH-A1 and my question is... during editing can I just use the 1394 out of my mac to my XHA1 and then just use the video or component out of the XHA1 to the external HD monitor or do I need some sort of 3rd party external card to use an external video monitor while editing?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Luke
