External monitor
I want to hook up a external moniter (Broadcast in future, for now TV) to my Vegas edit bay. I don't have a dv-cam around to use as a converter.
Is it possible to use the S-Video out of a cheap GPU? (I own a onboard GPU (GMA950) now without S-Video or Composite out) I have Sony Vegas 6.0 D |
Go firewire -> convertor -> analog -> TV
Your other option in Vegas 6 is to use a secondary monitor if you have a two monitor setup. Going to a TV, I'd go via firewire. |
Will this work, if I ad a extra GPu I'll have two vga out on that card and one on the onboard. Is it possible to have two monitors and via the third vga-out this convertor to tv?

For the most accurate image on the TV, stick with firewire. While other solutions *might* work, they may not work well or possibly give an incorrect image. If you want to play it safe, use firewire for SD external preview.

Ok, so S-Video isn't an option?
|
Sure it is - assuming your convertor/camera has S-Video out.
|
I think he's referring to the s-video that is on his graphics card.
|
The one on the video card
|
Yes, I understand that. I'm saying he's better off ignoring the S-Vid connection on his video card and sticking with firewire. *IF* he gets it to work, there's no guarantee the colors will be accurate.
|
I figured that myself but wasn't sure... I think his problem was that no one gave him a clear and concise "No" ... now they have ;)
|
Thanks! Going to figure it out...

Here's what I did, using a Sharp consumer camera:
* Connect Firewire from PC to Camcorder. * Connect S-Video from Camcorder to TV * Connect AC power to Camcorder (rather than battery power) * Turn on TV * Turn Camcorder on in VCR-mode (not camera mode) * Press record (but leave it paused) * Set up Vegas to output its signal to 1394. Works great! |
You don't need the "press record (but leave it paused)" step. It should pass the signal just fine WITHOUT a tape even being in the camera!

When I follow that steps , without te record/pause step , it doesn't work for me...
