Help setting up my monitor, DVX & editing suite..

Hi guys!

I need your help on what would be the most efficient way to set this up...

Basically, I have this:
-Panasonic DVX-100A
-JVC TM-910SU (production monitor)
-computer (obviously :))

Now, what I want is to be able to use my JVC monitor to view my output from Adobe Premiere Pro. My computer doesnt seem have a dedicated PCI videocard or something that can output to the monitor (assuming that this is what I need, and the correct lineage)... What do you suggest? I have heard about the Matrox.X100 - which is a RT card for editing in Premiere, etc.. Is this what I need? Any other ecquipment that could make this part easier.

Secondly, theres the DVX... I want to also use my monitor as a field monitor for framing and such, but once again I'm not sure what the best way of hooking them up would be? My DVX comes with RCA cable (1 yellow video cable and left/right audio). The monitor doesnt appear to accept this as video-input, and after searching I believe the TM-910SU uses a BNC-input. Would a simple RCA-BNC adapter solve all my problems?
Funnily enough, the monitor appears to accept RCA-input for audio. Is this normal? Since there is two RCA-ends for audio (left/right) and only one input on the monitor what would happen to my audio?

I have attached a picture of the back of the monitor so you could see what I'm trying to describe (i could snap one myself as well, if that one isnt good enough to tell):

Alternatively, if anyone see any potential drawbacks on this setup, please do tell... I'm just stepping up a league, so much of this is all new to me :)

Again, thanks for any replies! It's a great community.

I'll field the second question: Yes. Go to Radio Shack and get a 4 dollar BNC to RCA adapter. You'll be good to go. Don't know about audio, I've never used a field monitor for audio.


I'll let some one else answer your first query.

Also: You can use an S-Video cable with that particular monitor and the DVX100a. No need for any adapter. I prefer BNC cables, but that's just me.
