Preview on a television monitor via DV 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 DV camcorder or video deck.
Note: On Mac OS, you will not be able to preview on a TV monitor via camcorders or decks in HDV mode. Set these,
instead, to DV or Auto mode.

Make sure that the monitor is connected to the DV camcorder or deck and that the DV camcorder or deck is
connected to your computer.
2
(DV camcorder only) Set the camcorder to output to the monitor. Some devices detect this automatically, while
others require you choose a menu option.

Choose Project > Project Settings
> General, and click the Playback Settings button.
4
In the Playback Settings dialog box, choose the desired options.
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.
