If I playback footage I just recorded, will this monitor allow for playback?Or does it depend on the camera?

yes, this really depends on the camera. Some camera does not duplicate the picture from the viewfinder but just the recorded signal only. My Canon camera does not show for example any status information about battery, zoom, exposure or minutes left on the memory card which would be very useful to have on a recording monitor. I don't know this is with other cameras in general.

If your camera allows for playback through an output, then the monitor will show it.

Yes it will allow playback of your footage and yes, the camera you're using will need to send the hdmi video signal during playback. Most all cameras do.

Camera will not stream live video only record and play. I returned mine since since I wanted to use it to show close ups of parts to a large audience

Correct, this monitor does not record on its own. It has an A/V port that I think could be connected to a VCR or some other recording device, but not 100% sure about that.

Not to my knowledge. I've not tried to do this but the playback and record menus are not operable at the same time.

Sorry man, your thinking of live video feeds, this camera is not able to do that. I wish it did but all it does is capture and do playbacks.

In order to get the playback feature, you need to get the colored display model which costs more. With this model, you can only view the photos/videos on a computer monitor, TV, or camera by using the SD card.

Yes, it is (at least for me) always closed when recording, and I only open the display when I need to look through video for playback.

Sorry for taking so long to respond - vacation. Yes, the camera can be paused during playback, along with the usual play back features. Walley B

Yes, with an HDMI output on your camera you can plug in this monitor and see (just as you would on your camera) what you are recording.

The cable makes a connection and it works both ways. If you are having recording troubles, it has to be the DVR. There is nothing to add to the cable that would make any difference. I suggest also that you check your camera power to make certain it has all it needs to make the video signal. If you see the video on your monitor, it should be easily recordable by the DVR.

You can view recorded video on the device. Video is lower quality. You can also plug it in with the provided cable and view video on your computer.

The camera just gives a feed to the device you connect too. That device can just output a video signal or record if it has that function. But that is independent of this camera.

depends on mode of the display unit. If in multi-camera mode then yes will record all. However audio is only captured when in single camera mode.

Yes it will only record when switching between cameras or just one camera, but not two at the same time.

Hi Victor,Live view and playback works when Sony Camera is connected via HDMI. -Vincent

Both cameras record at the same time. However, when you look at the monitor, it will swap views back and forth from each camera. So you will see one camera for a few seconds and then it will swap the view to the other. Hope this answers your question.

The monitor uses an SD card for recording. I just take the SD card out, pop it into the SD card reader in my computer and download all the video to my hard drive where I either review it, keep it to review later or copy it to a CD. So short answer is "yes".
