Re: [Avid-L2] Using An External Client Monitor With MC Software Only

 

I have one (BMD Untrastudio mini monitor) plugged in to my MacBookPro running MC right now. Works perfectly, it's small, doesn't need power and it's cheap. What more do you want? I get people's complaints about BMD customer service but when something is this easy and just works perfectly, you don't need customer service. Feeding MC (and Resolve) to a Tektronix waveform monitor HD-SDI from Thunderbolt. Not many guys carry around a MacBookPro and a Tektronix waveform monitor to edit in a hotel room, but that's just me walking the talk, ya know.

BMD makes one like the T-tap, too for $145 - never used that.  Ultra Studio Mini-monitor, you know... BMD.    AJA is twice the price, but, you know... AJA.

Considered it? I didn't even know it existed!

This looks promising. Thanks, Rich.

David,

Have you considered the AJA T-Tap to drive your client monitor?


This has worked great for me for Media Composer, Premiere Pro, After Effects and other apps.

I may have asked this theoretical question before, but I don't think I got an answer, so I'll try again…

I have a two monitor set-up: a 27" Retina iMac, and a companion 27" LED Cinema Display. I also have the OWC Thunderbolt 2 hub connected to the iMac. This OWC hub has an HDMI out. As such... is anyone aware of whether or not it's possible to somehow use this HDMI port to send a permanent HD "client monitor" signal out of MC to either a consumer HD monitor or projector? Point being, to do this using the software only, and without a Mojo or Nitris box.

I made a furtive attempt to plug in a Samsung HD flat panel via the HDMI port on the OWC hub, but that only succeeded in throwing all displays out of whack, as they all reset their resolutions. So far, I've been able to find nothing that would suggest that what I'm thinking is possible. But it's also just as possible I'm missing something.

Anyone doing anything like this?

Thanks,

DD
