TV to monitor the color adjustments

[KayAt]

I'm using Sony Vegas 8.0 and have a 22 in VGA monitor that I use. I would like to get a better idea of what I'm doing to the color corrections (some over/under exposed video).

Here are some factors:

The output will be made into a DVD for playing on a hardward DVD player connected (composite) to a TV or through a DLP Projector

I have a Digital camera but bought it a LONG time ago so it doesn't have a way to input the signal from the computer (it only has an output)

My video editing computer does not have an S-video out. It does have a large firewire connection on the front.

My question is probably, would the least expensive method be to buy a new digital camera and run the video from the firewire connection thru composite to a tv?

Do they make TVs with USB inputs?

Happy New Year!

ID the make/model of your camcorders, display cards and other equipment.

Yes they make TV's with USB in. How do you think this will help?

USB input on TVs is generally for reading image files from a flash drive in a slide-show.

The newest generation HDTV sets allow video file reading over USB2 similar to the Philips 5990 DVD players. Plus they are beginning to link over DLNA networks and as UPnP extenders to MCE.

OK, but going back to your question -- not sure how any of those USB features would help in what he wants to do.

We still await answers to questions from OP about current equipment. So I answered you.

The user seems to be confined to composite for some reason. I hope that is not the case.

Direct answer is a Canopus ADVC or ADS Pyro or a DV camcorder with "pass-through" + black level rescale within Vegas.

TV USB question seems not to apply to Vegas. Does "digital camera" mean camcorder?

We need more info.
