Previewing on a television monitor via video card
Some video cards and operating system software products support a television monitor independent of the computer
desktop. Others support a second computer monitor that is contiguous with the computer desktop so that it can also
function as additional space for the application. See the documentation that came with your video card and operating
system.

Preview on a television monitor via camcorder or deck
If you’re editing a DV project, you can preview the sequence on a television monitor via your IEEE 1394 connection
and camcorder or video deck.
Note: You may not be able to preview on a TV monitor via camcorders or decks in HDV mode. Set these, instead, to DV
or Auto mode.
1
Make sure that the monitor is connected to the DV camcorder or deck and that the camcorder or deck is connected
to your computer.
2
(For camcorder setup only) Set the camcorder to output to the monitor. Some devices detect this automatically,
while others require you choose a menu option.

In the Source Monitor or Program Monitor, click the panel menu button to the upper right, select Playback
Settings, and choose the desired options from the following.
Desktop Video Display During Playback
Specifies whether or not to play back to the Program Monitor. Deselect this
option to play back only through the external monitor specified in the External Device option. If the External Device

There can be a slight delay between the playback on the desktop and the playback on a television via a
camcorder/VCR. If the video and audio seem out of sync, try to preview both video and audio through the same device.
