Can the Canon D500 be connected to an external monitor?
Not tried it yet – need to purchase a HDMI Type C cable – but it sounds like one way or another it could be coaxed into doing so. My web-research leading to this view (right or wrong) is below.
Web-Research:
- Bing: [canon d500 hdmi monitor]

- Product description and editorial review
- Full HD video capture at 1920 x 1080 resolution; HDMI output
- An HDMI port allows for quick connections to high definition TVs and monitors for easy viewing of your stills and video.
- The (camera) has an HDMI Type C output on the body to allow you to directly display pictures and video on an HDTV.
- the HDMI Type C cable is not included in the box. You have to buy it separately.

- {Has some excellent introductory videos to Magic Lantern}
- The D500 is covered by the “Unified” branch of this software development.
- The “Unified” branch includes “Live View” of histograms etc.

- Big news: the new graphics engine for external displays is almost ready.
- Screenshots (from Lucas Pfaff):
- Working:
– zebra, focus peaking, false color, cropmarks, spotmeter,
histogram/waveform in all HDMI and SD modes
– magic zoom in HDMI-VGA mode - Not working yet (work in progress):
– live defish and ghost image
– screen layout still has some problems
– screen layout in 500D and 50D may not be right (but easy to fix)
– menu flickers in HDMI VGA mode (needs double buffering)

- AviSynth-based workflow.
- http://www.bubblevision.com/underwater-video/Vegas-YouTube-Vimeo.htm
- Lengthy tutorial (by Nick Hope) on the latter workflow.
- It incorporates QTMGC and MaskTools.
- QTMGC can remove, preserve or strengthen visual noise and very fine detail
- QTGMC makes an excellent job of deinterlacing and gives a sharper result than other methods such as simple field blending.
- QTGMC is slow, but once you have it working you can speed it up by using it multi-threaded, in a 32-bit or 64-bit environment
- There are 64-bit versions of Sony Vegas, DebugMode FrameServer, AviSynth (multi-threaded also), MVTools, RemoveGrain, MaskTools v2, nnedi3, x264
- The tutorial identifies them and where to download.
