craigbuckley Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Is there a way that I can turn my laptop into an external monitor? I can go from my pc to the tv but I'm wondering if I go can from my gh2 to INTO my PC- So I can view from my pc? Any other suggestions on something like this? I know the nexus 7 won't work for gh2. (I have an asus windows vista laptop and a macbook pro) BydrodoFieddy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigbuckley Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 Anyone? Is there anyway I get get the image of my viewfinder (gh2) on to my pc? A cord or app or something ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b_Arikawa Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I think that the simple answer is no. The HDMI connection of a PC graphics card doesn't accept incoming signals. You could use the HDMI out on the GH2 to connect directly to a monitor or the AV out/digital to connect to a monitor/TV using the yellow/white/red connectors using the cable supplied with the GH2. craigbuckley 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dahlfors Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 You should be able to monitor from HDMI input with a black magic intensity: http://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/intensity/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leang Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 the only laptops that can do this are the Alienware M17x and above as they can literally receive an HDMI signal and display in front of you. I did several photo shoots with this combo, but the colors weren't as good as the Nikon D4's LCD screen even after color calibrations. However, imo don't invest in anything atm. In about a year the whole wireless wifi business, for photography, will be set in stone and improved as well as other cams following suit. cables are too cumbersome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigbuckley Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share Posted February 17, 2013 So if you guys had to go with one external monitor, for video, would it be the HD DP6? or a Marshall monitor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
