I am using Vegas Video 5.0 for simply DV editing. I want to OUTPUT the
preview to a separate monitor via Svideo or composite video, what is the
simpliest way of doing this. I am also using a dual monitor setup in XP. .


THanks !

Since Vegas is only firewire output, your options are to use either a
camcorder that supports pass-through (firewire in to camcorder and analog
outs to your monitor) or a device such as a Canopus ADVC-100.

Thanks

If I used a camera (GL-1) for pass through could I preview during editing or
just during export to tape. ..

THanks !

I don't know the GL-1 but it's my understanding that, as long as you can see
it on the LCD panel, you should be able to see it on a monitor (ie.
previewing it).
Your owner's amnual should tell you the proper procedure for doing this as
all camcorders are different in the way this is enabled.

If you are using Vegas, you can output the preview window to the fire-wire
port, where it will act just like the preview window on your desktop. From
the the fire-wire port to either a camera and a monitor or an ADVC100 (or
similar) bi-directional converter and a monitor. I have the latter set-up
with dual 17" LCD computer monitors. (If I were doing a lot of Video
editing, I'd invest in larger ones in a minute.) I like seeing previews on
an NTSC monitor if that's where the video is headed, and it is always nice
to reclaim a few square inches of desktop.
