Final Cut Pro includes an A/V Output option to send video and audio from your computer to
an external video monitor. The A/V Output feature shows you how video and audio look and
sound on an NTSC/PAL, HD, or 4K monitor. In addition, this feature allows you to test output with
sophisticated external devices such as vectorscopes and waveform monitors.

NTSC or PAL output requires compatible third-party video interface hardware and software.
4K output requires a third-party video interface or a 4K-capable Mac with an HDMI output.
FireWire DV devices are not supported. For more information about third-party devices and
software, contact the device manufacturer or go to the Final Cut Pro X Resources webpage at

http://www.apple.com/finalcutpro/resources
