Using a laptop as a monitor has been much discussed on the threads but I've not found the exact answer to this particular question.

Documentary interview with firewire out to laptop for viewing only - still recording on P2.

What Mac PowerBook program can I use to view image coming from HVX?

Am I missing some major component to this idea?

Thanks,
Cole.

I am putting a package together.

I am going to use super-cheap lcds to play the image. I want it clean and simple.

The image on the glass only has to be 'acceptable'. It can be small, or black and white, etc.

There are a lot of options. I am using an old sony video walkman as one of my sources..

Appreciate the options - I'd still like to use my PowerBook.

Can anyone tell me what process or Mac PowerBook program can I use to view image coming from HVX?

Thanks again for the feedback,
Cole.

Just use the capture preview window in Final Cut Pro.

Have to say while you can use the capture window, its only a preview window and not the greatest.

Run through the FCP forum theres a few older posts regarding something like DVrack for mac. Cant remember the product name of the top of my head.

Use Serious Magic's DV Rack program on your lappy

DV Rack or you can download any free 'webcam' app.. I had some freeware webcam app that put video straight from the firewire fullscreen in full dv res. Worked a treat although i can't remember the name.
