Hi All,
I couldn't think of where to put this question, but since I'll be monitoring AE, I figured someone here might be able to help.
My graphics card has HDMI out, so I was thinking about either using a Sony broadcast LCD or an HDTV to monitor my After Effects work for accuracy.
In standard def I'd want to go to a monitor Component so that I'm looking at things YUV, but for HD I'd go HDMI and the signal would stay digital.
I know people monitor HD on broadcast monitors, but for what reason? As I understand it, HDMI can be RGB or YUV, but I'd be feeding it an RGB signal from the computer. In this case is it just acting as a lower-res computer monitor? At work we go SDI to a Cinetal, and the signal is really clean, but I don't know if it's representative of what you'd get if you played it on a TV since it's really high-res. Any info would be helpful. Thank you!
