dv to composite analog, external unit

i need a little dv to composite converter, so i can preview my editing (premiere) on a tv screen, suggestions? (low price, high quality ;)) p.s i found Canopus ADVC110 and dac200 so far, both seem overpriced imho.

do you have a video card that supports TV out? Use an S-Video -> Composite adaptor and rock on. Otherwise, a cheap TV out card will take care of this problem :) ~MiSfit

what cards are compatible with premiere timeline editing?

I would suppose any. ATi and nVidia cards can display the hardware overlay directly to an external TV, i.e. fullscreen movie playback while working on your main monitor. I would assume that it works the same way in Premiere, but I am not sure...

I believe the ATi Hydravision software should handle the multi monitor bit. I think it is included in the recent versions of the Catalyst drivers, so you may have it already. Good luck ~MiSfit

AFAIK Hydravision is a seperate download - I'm gonna try it, thanks!

If you want to see correctly displayed, correctly fielded video for TV out, I think Matrox is the only consumer PC video card out that that will do the job (and only when you feed it with the correct resolution video - 720 x 576 for PAL, 720 x 480 for NTSC). ATI etc all have TV out, but if a close look is payed to what they actually output, its less than impressive.
