Still can't figure out how to monitor HD footage on a HD monitor with vegas 7

Use the secondary windows display as your preview device if using a computer monitor.

Or get an Aja Xena (or Blackmagic) card and use the HD-SDI output off that. Check that the *drivers* plus the hardware card is compatible with your system.

2- If that does not answer your question, then please be more specific as to:
A- What monitor you would like to use
B- What you are trying to do

Have used the blackmagic HD board extreme, the right drivers, but have used the component out to a HD monitor. The image is choppy. Did not try to confgure the HD-SDI.

What framerate does it say in video preview?

Did you turn the live scopes off? Bypass video FX to see if performance goes up? Drive array fast enough?

Have never turned scopes on, never used video fx, and how would you test the disk array to see if it's fast enough? thanks

Is My Disk Array Fast Enough?
Because disk systems are always changing, the best recommendation for disk array options is your dealer. Often dealers will know of other lower cost, and faster disk solutions because they can keep up more easily with the many brands and options available worldwide.

DeckLink users can run the Blackmagic Disk Speed Test application which is included with the DeckLink driver software. This utility takes measures the speed of your disks and displays how many frames per second of video you could do in standard definition (NTSC & PAL) and high definition. We recommend testing your disk array with Blackmagic Disk Speed Test as many other disk utilities do not take in to account factors such as the RAM cache which may be used in some disk arrays. Blackmagic Disk Speed Test can be used on any Mac or PC which has a DeckLink card.

2- What types of media are you using?

3- What framerate does it say in video preview?
