External Monitor + LiveView Screen

[steven85cr]

Hi Friends, this is my issue

I want to connect the camera to an external monitor (usb/rca or hdmi), but I dont want to lose the LiveView image.

Why?
Because sometimes many people need to check the video, and the cameraman needs to move freely...

So, is that possible?

Both of my onboard HDMI monitors (Zacuto EVF and Marshall VLCD56) have an hdmi pass through so I can send the signal to video village or the AC's monitor.
So it's no big deal that the camera's LCD shuts off, in fact, it's a good thing as it conserves battery life and reduces overheating. I recommend to search for a monitor that has this feature

I'm the Same with dpjpandone  but from my Zacuto EVF I pass the signal to my Ninja 1st Gen. HDMI recorder which of course monitors .

Which camera do you use?

I have Canon 5D Mark II, and also have extra Feelworld HDMI monitor FW759. I also have this problem that when I connect the camera to the monitor, there is no image on the camera.

But it seems that almost all the monitor do the same work, now I work well with the camera and the monitor.
