Cheap mini-HDMI cable

The cable is mainly for connecting an HD monitor. You could also use it to connect to a computer to capture/record the HDMI video signal.

What I'm asking is if these cables are so that 7d can be used as a deck for displaying footage.

The HDMI port on the camera is for output, not input. I'm not sure why you'd want to use the 7D as a deck; if you're trying to view footage that you shot with it, then you can play that footage on camera from the memory card.

I meant like a Play deck. To Play footage recorded in camera.
 
Dude, its so you watch the footage stored on the 7d on an external screen instead of the one built into the camera. I don't get what's not to get.
 
Exactly. There's a button on the camera marked with a standard "play" icon (the little triangle) that will allow you to review your footage (and stills) right there on the camera. You can then use the HDMI port to connect an external monitor. The monitor will work when you're recording footage and when you're reviewing footage.

Thanks, I just wanted to make sure it was what I thought it was.
Just ordered a six footer from monoprice.
 
I'll ask this question again in hopes someone might know. Can you copy your h.264 Master onto your CF card with your computer/card reader then place your CF card in your 7D and play the edited file back on your HDLCD for all to see in its full resolution with audio?

Is this possibly a way to deliver a CA to a local TV station and/or play your work for client approval?
 
I have tried a couple of things and can't figure out how to render a movie that the camera can play. You need a movie file and also a .THM file, and I don't know what goes into the .THM file. Perhaps there is (or will be) an export plug-in for NLEs that renders 7D/5D-playable files? But just rendering an h.264 .mov out of CS4.1 didn't work.
