Simultaneous video outs

[Nick Ravich]

Planning on big interview studio shoot with AF100 this weekend. DP is bringing his Small HD montior, with HD/SDI in. Thing is, he wants to mount that on camera for focus assist - and I doubt I'll always be in a position to see it. So I need some kind of client monitor. Typically I use a really cheesy but effective DVD clamshell monitor with composite video in. All I really care about is framing. Wondering if I can get simultaneous SDI and composite video outs with the AF100? Or maybe there's a better solution.
Thanks, Nick.

Nick,
These things might be able to help you figure out what you can do. You might want to get an HDSDI splitter and a second HD monitor. Not clear if there is a composite out separate from the SDI.
