7D video outputs?

[Finnegan]

I need to power two monitors from my Canon 7D for a short film I'm shooting in a month or so. One monitor is the camera mounted 7-inch Marshall which I run from the cam's HDMI port, but I haven't ever ran a video village monitor from the camera. I see on the body of the cam that there's a A/V digital out port right next to the HDMI port, but I have no idea if that's like A/V digital out to component or composite cables or what.

Can anyone tell me which cable I need to run a monitor for video village from the A/V digital out port on a 7D?

From what I remember, you can only use one of those outputs. If you're using the HDMI, the other ouputs will be inactive. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

Looks like you'll need to split your HDMI output.

I doubt it would be appropriate for video village, but you CAN use the USB out for a live view and camera control as well as the HDMI out.

Just read this thread, and the link mentioned has lots of good info: http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/showthread.php?t=216392

We just use a Blackmagic HDMI to SDI converter running off the Dtap of the Vlock battery on the ref monitor on the camera, and send SDI to that and the client ref.
