Monitor configuration

In order to prompt out successfully, you will need to output prompting image to an external monitor. It is likely (if you have
a modern Apple Mac device) that you will need to purchase the Apple

Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter

. This will enable

you to connect your Apple device to a VGA cable allowing you to connect to the external monitor.

To connect to the external monitor, connect the Mini DisplayPort VGA adapter to the

Mini DisplayPort

in your MacBook Pro

and then connect a VGA cable between the Mini DisplayPort adapter and the VGA monitor.

When an external monitor is connected and powered on, OSX will discover the monitor and automatically extend the
desktop.

Next step is to setup the display settings for the secondary monitor in the Preferences menu option.

To see the image correctly in the mirror (if using an on camera unit) we need to change the

Prompt output

to

Reversed

(Revers text vertically for use with an On Camera). The option is found within the

Basic

tab within

Preferences

.
