I edit video. After updating the hard disk in my laptop, I find I have enough space and speed that I can edit a show on my laptop. I shoot concerts with several cameras, and I sync them and do a “multicam” edit. The problem of course is that while I can fit both the edit program interface on the screen as well as previews for each camera, everything is reduced too much in size to be usable.
I’ve become spoiled by my desktop system with two monitors.
Where can I find an AC powered VGA or HDMI monitor that is thin and light? Ideally, I would pack this second monitor in the bag with my laptop. It doesn’t have to be extremely high res or terribly bright. The interface of the program would go on this monitor, while the video would remain on the laptop screen.
No need for battery operation - I’m not going to edit 4 streams of HD video on any battery.
Is there a term for this type of monitor? I want something as thin as a laptop screen, that would have an external power supply (wall wart).
