2nd monitor view

Sep 22, 2009 8:17 AM

Hello, if this feature is already implemented please tell me where!!

 

It would make a lot of sense to me to allow a second / external monitor output / overlay, much like you can do in Premiere through the program monitor's playback settings.

 

When I'm on set, as the director, I don't want to be tied down to the laptop that's running OnLocation.

 

It would be practical, intuitive, and AMAZING in general to include the ability to see the video feed coming from the camera both on the primary monitor for the recording operator's use (with the vector scopes, etc) and an overlay output via the second monitor (HDMI / DVI / VGA) so other people, such as director, makeup, clients, etc can see just the video signal.

 

Often the laptop screen isn't the greatest, and being able to connect to a high quality monitor would be very helpful as well as practical and convenient.

 

You would want it to show the video being recorded / live image, and then when playing back, it would show the playback, just like OnLocation currently does.

 

I dunno - this just seemed to make sense.

 

Thanks very much!
