Is there a way to have external LCD (HDMI) and camera LCD on simultaneously?

[Moses Chisel]

Any suggestion?

No. But two monitors will work.

How do you connect two monitors?

 

[a1ex]

Some monitors have passthrough connection (for example DP4).

Or you can use a splitter, look here: http://forums.techarena.in/monitor-video-cards/1122625.htm

I don't think you can use a passive splitter with HDMI, since the signal goes in both ways. But with SD, a simple Y cable should do the trick (didn't try).

OK, thx

Shame there is no ML solution to keep the camera LCD ticking over

I think its a memory thing or the processor is not fast enough. One or the other.

I found a workaround...

HDMI ---> external LCD
USB ----> netbook running EOS Utility @1280x720

I use a passive HDMI splitter and it works fine. (If HDMI needed a powered splitter, I doubt anyone would make passive ones...)
