Using a macbook pro as a monitor?

[Tehben Dean]

Would it be possible to hook a macbook pro to a RED one to use it's display as a monitor?

The MBP does not have a direct video input.

You could use a Matrox or AJA HD I/O.

It would probably be better/easier to just us a monitor.

If the Red has a firewire output for transferring video into the computer, kinda like minidv cameras have, then you may be able to use Adobe Onlocation.

If you have an MXO2 and any live viewing program like OnLocation or Scopebox etc you can do it - but for the same price you could just buy a monitor.

I assume he already has a mbp or wants to have one on set anyway

I was just sitting there thinking, I have this nice bright high res monitor attached to a portable computer, now wouldn't it be cool...

Under $300 gets you an HDMI computer display that's sufficient for framing and focus.
