Ok, I always say that one should have no pride when it comes to asking
questions. Here's the proof of that:

I have a crappy NTSC Monitor hooked up to my 'puter. I have only a
firewire card.....no Storm card or any other capture card.

I want to be able to see the monitor image from Premiere on the NTSC
monitor. I can seen the footage as it being captured from deck or when
it is being dumped back to deck. I have a Matrox G550....when I
manipulate the graphics card controls, it does show the timeline
monitor.....but the image shows four or so times and the aspect is
screwed up....don't know what is screwed up. Do want to get a better
monitor.

Certainly a Storm card or whatever will have a hook-up for the NTSC
monitor. However, as I understand it, any modern graphics card will
allow you to run a TV monitor as well.

Would like to run two computer monitors and a NTSC monitor from a
graphics card. I believe this is possible. Right?

Any suggestions for card? Am running Premiere 6 now. Will be upgrading
to Premiere Pro 2 after the next decent payday.

Any suggestions for an inexpensive NTSC monitor which could double as
a field monitor...with overscan and blue only?

Thanks in advance.
