NOT during liveview or recording. I spoke with a canon Tech person today who confirmed that the 7D ONLY outputs 1080i when in playback mode. NOT during liveview or recording.

What if we took the HDMI cable to a Marshall monitor and took the loop thru from the Marshall Monitor back to a live switching device or switcher. Would that stay in HD with the loop thru?

If you need more than one person viewing the feed, ie focus puller, director etc then the best thing is to buy a powered hdmi splitter and run multiple hdmi monitors instead.

is it possible to shoot with an external monitor (through HDMI) and still view the LCD ‘LiveView’ monitor on the CANON 7D?

I’m asking because we want to work with an external monitor and a Zacuto Z-finder on the LCD for the camera operator.

The only thing is that it would need to be done by a powered converter box, not just a simple cable. I think they are available for around $300.

I will purchase the ACK-E6 on Amazon. Is there a possibility of a component or S-Video output in the 7D? Dan, thank you for your response. I will purchase the ACK-E6 on Amazon.

Available here : http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/590445-REG/Canon_3351B002_ACK_E6_AC_Adapter_Kit.html/BI/5343/KBID/6139 As for video output mixing.... the problem is that the HDMI output during recording has crop marks on it top and bottom. If you are using a system that allows you to crop into the signal that it is receiving then it is possible to do. I'm not sure if anyone else is doing it for studio work , but i have heard of people recording the hdmi output signal using extrenal HDMI recorders. A google search might pull up a bit more info on that. Ricardo, the canon ACK-E6 will power the canon 7d from a wall socket so you can use it continuously.

How can I use the 7D as a Studio Video Camera with a clean (no menus) video output for mixing? Is there a direct power adapter to run unstopped for longer than 60 minutes? Thanks, Ricardo Hi Dan!
