Using Laptop as Firewire Monitor?

Archived from groups: rec.video.desktop (More info?)

Is it possible to use a laptop as an external firewire monitor to
preview editing projects? This would be indispensable. Any help would
be appreciated.

Peace,

Have a look into Serious Magic's DV-Rack. You can download a demo and
play with it, so that should give you an idea. It has built-in WFM,
vectorscope, programmable zebra, audio-monitor, alarms for
overexposure and sound-distortion and heaps more. I tried it on my
main system, just out of curiosity, but it screams for a laptop.
(note to self: now, if I only hadn't upgraded my VAIO to XP, I would
still have a functioning firewire-port )
