Can I use 1080i television at location as monitor for 720 24P?

[Jim Feldspar]

I have a shoot next week and plan to shoot 720 24P and don't have a production

monitor but at the location there is a television. The

t.v. is 1080i but also has a DVD player hooked up to it that outputs DVDs at

480P, I'm told.

 

Could I use this as a monitor and how would you hook it up? Through the DVD

player or straight into the DVD player and with what connections?
