70D touchscreen with external monitor shooting video discussion

[licondam]

Hello, I have tried to search the forms, sticky and FAQ as well as Google. I successfully used ML on my T3i for a good number of years and recently upgraded to the 70D. I have used DSLR Controller on my T3i but have wondered and wanted to ask in hopes of getting a reasonable answer.

Is there any way to use an external monitor and retain the touch screen functions on the camera while shooting video? Is this something that ML supports or could possible support? If no, are there any hardware hacks that might could be done? Or possible alternate methods to feed an HDMI external monitor?

Thank you and just hoping to put a final answer to what seems to be popular question.
