Combustion and DV Framebuffer Preview

#1

Combustion 3 and up says it supports the Firewire port as a frame buffer to preview work on an NTSC display. My question is if there is a device out there that will convert the IEEE.1394 cable from the computer to a composite/s-video/component output so I can connect to so some external NTSC video display. The only method I’m aware of is going from the IEEE port on the PC to a DV Cam, then run the DV Cam’s S-Video cable to an NTSC video monitor. This is less than desirable. :frowning:

Seems I’ve found the answer to my own question. Looks like any generic box from Pyro or ADVC will work. I wonder if Avid MOJO fits in this category because MOJO support real-time framebuffer output for XSI, so that’d be sweet if Combustion sees MOJO as a DV device for real-time framebuffer output.
