Sony GVM1311Q Video Monitor & a Sony HDR-FX1

[Simon DesRochers]

Yesterday and was trying to find a way to plug a Sony HDR-FX1 into a Sony GVM1311Q Video Monitor but I wasn't able to get it to work. Is there a trick to this, or is this just too old a monitor to work with a Sony HDR-FX1? Thanks

 

I found a copy of the manual of this monitor online:

I've got essentially the same problem. The LCD monitor is too small to view either what you're shooting or shot critically. My problem is slightly different in that my director is in an interview scene and unless I can position the monitor so he can easily see it without making it seem like he's distracted, I'm going to have to download the scene onto a laptop and review it. I wondered if there's any way to do this without buying a Mac Powerbook set up with FCP.

I've tried PC's with various software packages but nothing seems to work.
