Final Cut Pro includes an A/V Output option to send video and audio from your
computer to an external video monitor. In addition to showing you how video and
audio look and sound on an NTSC/PAL or HD broadcast monitor, this feature also
allows you to test output with more sophisticated devices such as vectorscopes and
waveform monitors.
A/V output is available only with OS X Lion v10.7.2 or later and requires compatible
third-party video interface hardware and software. FireWire DV devices are not
supported. For more information, contact the device manufacturer or go to the
Final Cut Pro X Resources webpage at http://www.apple.com/nalcutpro/resources.
Play video and audio on an external video monitor
1 Install the video interface hardware and software according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.
2 Connect an external video monitor to the video interface and make sure it’s connected
to power and turned on.
3 To select an A/V output device, choose Final Cut Pro > Preferences (or press
Command-Comma), click Playback, and choose a device in the Playback
preferences pane.
4 In Final Cut Pro, choose Window > A/V Output.
The Viewer contents appear on the broadcast monitor. Viewer features (such as
onscreen controls and the title-safe and action-safe overlays) can be viewed only in
Final Cut Pro.
Note: Video and audio are synced at the video frame (not audio sample) level.
To turn o A/V output, choose Window > A/V Output.
