Firewire field monitor on PC


Sometimes on set i need a monitor solution to my camera. If i have a mac i can use a simple free amp called FlipFlop. The site is no longer available, so you can have it here. And connect you camera to mac via a simple firewire cable and use the mac as a field monitor.
But if you have a PC you can use VLC Player. Connect your camera to pc and open vlc. Select media and open capture device. In that window click refresh list on video device name, select AV/C Subunit and hit play.
Now you have a great and free field monitor on your PC!
