Preview edited work on television

Gromit · 15-03-2005, 5:29 PM

I have Vegas 5 and would like to preview my edited work on my televison for reference purpose.

How would I go about doing this cheaply? I only have an old 32MB Geforce 2 MX graphic card. Would a TV in/out tuner card do?

The best option would be to buy a Canopus ADVC-110 Digital Video Converter, which is the best one to get. However, this one is fairly expensive.

Would also love to have two CRT monitoirs when editing, but this requires a dual-head graphic card.

I would sincerely appreciate any help in this matter.

Regards,
Gromit

If you want to do it from the timeline you will have to use the firwire out to a digital analogue converter (like the Canopus) or pass through on your camcorder if it does it, then into your monitor.

The 110 (formerly 100) & above are bi-directional , the 50 is only analogue to digital.

So if I was to buy the Canopus ADVC-110 Digital Video Converter, would it work here if I bought from the US... since it´s cheaper over there?

What mean is it 110 - 240 V compatible?

It's 100-240v & the UK version comes supplied with an appropraite AC adaptor.

The manual will state only the supplied adaptor should be used & then there is warranty considerations if purchasing from USA

Thanks, for the info.

Anyway, I own a several US step up/down voltage converter. I guess, I´ll be safe in case I buy one from the US.
