monitoring on a TV or broadcast preview

the low cost version is available at: http://www.cyberzeka.com/czk/gID~50~lang~en~products.html
Your graphics card must a tv out to use that plugin.

The professional solution would be a videocard from Decklink or bluefish444.
With some of these cards capturing is possible also.

hello:

thank u for answering me, but i use avid hardware with avid liquid, so do u have any idea how to add combustion to it, or make combustion c or recognize the avid hardware?

thank u in advanced

[joconnell]

Avid hardware will probably never work with anything else besides avid, they don't want combustion to be able to use their hardware since discreet / autodesk are a competitor. The Decklink cards are definitely your cheapest option.

thank u but what about matrox

If you have a MiniDv camera you can use firewire to preview on a monitor. Just connect the cam to your computer via Firewire and hook up a monitor to the cam's AV outlet. You'll have to set the framebuffer prefs to the appropriate Firewire setting.

If you have a digital camera you can use Firewire for viewing. Just connect the cam to your computer via Firewire and hook up a monitor to the cam's AV out. In Combustion prefs set Framebuffer to corresponding Firewire setting.

Works great for me.

A DV deck would do the job too.

Agreed. Afaik liquid is a NLE for DV (at least liquid.purple was a few years ago), so you should have a DV player/recorder (or a camcorder) for capturing your footage anyway - use it.

Matrox offers a WYSIWYG(what you see is what you get) plugin for a variety of programs for its graphic cards.

I (have to) use one for my editing jobs and the plugin works well with Avid Xpress, Photoshop, AfterEffects.
