RED component output

[cinemano]

Hello

does anyone know if a HDMI to component converter would work to use a cheaper monitor on the RED? (for preview)

like this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/Digital-HDMI-to...yZ147177QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

then one could use a cheaper monitor lcd.. or no?

At NAB you'll see an 8" HD LCD monitor with HDMI input, for $800

Nab is a bit far from Portugal dd yu get the model name of that monitor?

Their next generation maybe one month from now will have this feature

I'm just about to order a AJA HD10C2 for hd-sdi to component

Cheers,

hmm.. thanks but when combining the cost of the converter with a component monitor, it adds up to same as the red monitor

Depends on how you use it.
Basic tools for me are a Red EVF/LCD plus 1 or 2 other larger monitors for others. HDMI/DVI out is already there for 720p monitor.
Using the HD-SDI out and the converters I sugested will give you better quality/resolution to field/studio monitors that mightn't have hd-sdi inputs.
for example I have sony pvm & kvm monitors with component out. The HDlink will give me proper pixel mapping for 720/1080p (when Red enable it) monitors and the HDLINK Pro will give me 2K monitoring on dvi/hdmi screens. These converters will also they'll also let you run long leads and lut support.
hope it helps....Dave.
