Simultaneous video outs

Planning on big interview studio shoot with AF100 this weekend. DP is bringing his Small HD montior, with HD/SDI in. Thing is, he wants to mount that on camera for focus assist - and I doubt I'll always be in a position to see it. So I need some kind of client monitor. Typically I use a really cheesy but effective DVD clamshell monitor with composite video in. All I really care about is framing. Wondering if I can get simultaneous SDI and composite video (SD downconvert) outs with the AF100? Or maybe there's a better solution.
Thanks, Nick.
 
Which SmallHD monitor? It may have HDMI in or HD-SDI out...

The composite feed and the SDI and HDMI are all active simultaneously, with a few restrictions (like if you turn on 24PsF, that disables the HDMI, but I think that's about it)...
 
This may or may not help you out, but I use my Nanoflash and TVLogic 5.6" to monitor SDI with the TV Logic, record SDI with the Nano, and then send HDMI out of the Nano to a cheap Samsung 1080p multi purpose monitor. It all looks very good, and with the right settings in the Nano video-out, it will send 1080 24 in a form that works with consumer monitoring equipment. Perfect for a client monitor at a reasonable cost.

EDIT: To be specific, let me add also that this works quite well even with 1080/24 psf SDI out of the camera. You just need to have the video output settings correct in the Nano, and of course a mini to standard HDMI adapter. ($5 at microcenter). So that's one way of having a simultaneous SDI output, and a cheaper HDMI alternative which is also full HD.

Thanks Barry. Small HD DP6 I believe - with HD-SDI out.

Simultaneous composite, HDMI, and SDI out of the AF100 (shooting 1080 30p)? Fantastic, Nick.
