SD Cable

[Sherman]

Need to run a line to a production monitor for shoot.
Used to use S-Video cable for that from this old DVX100a.
What do I need to run to monitor from my HPX170?
Is it SD cable?
And can I run that to an standard def monitor?

You can run an S-Video cable and use an SD monitor but it would be obviously down-converting you image. But I'm in the same boat for a shoot today so I'm doing the same thing. Shoot in HD to a P2 card in my HVX200 and then monitor it with an SD monitor with a composite cable. I don't like doing it but I was forced into it... Long story.
