I need the advice here bacause I broke my HVX200 display today. Service charge me to $1200 but overall camera cost about $4000 so it looks stupid to get it.
So I wish to give a try for 3rd party's monitoring solution with wider abilities and quality than standard HVX display to cover my insult :)
Main problem that I cant understand what a type of connection to monitor and power supply should I use? Can I connect to monitor via Firewire interface to get a live picture? There is another problem here. There is no HDMI slot in HVX200. Crazy thing at tomorrow's days. Can I get component cable shorter and thiner than supplied? What type of connector (name of connector) used in component cable from the camera's side? Can this component connection can be converted to HDMI somehow? Can I use power for monitor not from his personal battery but from one of the camera's outputs? A lot of questions here. And looks like using a cheapest lcd display is the right way to go in a case of using composite camera output.
 
Just tested the composite output and I find it terrible to use. I have no idea how to get focused with composite signal. Another found was that I can't use composite and component outputs simultaneously and thats sad. Another one bad thing is the next. Zebra is not displayed on the attached monitor. Menu is. Zebra - not.
Looks like I can compose some technical specs of the oncamera monitor.
7" for lager view
Resolution - As much as we can but 720p is prefferable
Component input
HDMI input (for wider using)
Zebra onboard

A lot of affordable Lilliputs on ebay about $200-250 with that parameters.
Has anyone any expirience with the Lilliput oncamera monitors here?

And with the powering I still stucked. I want to power it from camera somehow but I have no an idea how I can do it.
