Is there a way in ML to set a DSLR (Canon 60D) to be a monitor making it possible to record from the mini HDMI out? I can change the bit rate to record a little longer but if there is a way for ML to keep the camera on without recording?
Thank you,

ConnectHDMI-out to a recording device and turn on liveview.
If you want to have unlimited HDMI streaming duration (requires wall plug) you have to use experimental lua_fix build.
I have a live mode I think that's what you mean, yes I would like the camera to stay on so I can record through a Tricaster.
I'll try this tomorrow.
Thanks!
Couldn't get it to work in live mode. The cameras will record 17 minutes but the HDMI out shuts it off after a minute. Worth a try tho...
Thanks!
Try Prefs tab -> Powersave in Liveview -> 30-minute timer Disabled
Most vloggers use liveview only without recording internally.
Mine has pref.
Power save in live view
Enable power saving on stand by, on recording, on stby +Rec.
(It was set to on stand by)
I don't see a 30 minute timer disabled... Unless I'm looking in the wrong place, but I'll try each and see if that makes a difference
Walter,
But yes that is what I would like to do is use live view to record externally. Stay with me! There must be a way!
Thank you,

May I quote myself?

I'm brand new to Magic Lantern. I'll go to their site and download that experimental one I guess?
Top of page -> Downloads -> Downloads (Drop down menu) -> Experiments
Perfect!
I downloaded the file and it keeps my camera on. Walter, you are a genius! I'll see if I can record.
Thanks for the help

Now, can I ask you how to get the display to not show through live view? I can repost this under a different topic but since we are on this page,
Thanks
Try
Display tab -> Powersave in Liveview -> Turn off LCD

Sorry! I think I figured it out. In ML GLOBAL OFF removes all displays for recording. For whatever reason, I can't get my system Tricaster to record while my cameras are recording. But, if I use them in live mode they work. I'll keep at it but I think this is the answer.
Thanks again!

I just saw this as I was typing. The LCD is already off in that setting. Thanks tho..
I think "overlays" is what you mean by "displays". In ML lingo "display" might refer to LCD or liveview screens.
Yes it is.
