Answers.Body: <p>Any DSLR that can provide a live video signal (such as via HDMI) can feed that signal to a recording device (such as Atmos SHOGUN) or monitoring device (such as a TV monitor).  In order for your computer to handle live video, you need a live video input port, typically found on cards such as the Blackmagic Design Deck Link card.  BlackMagic's Media Express software can record and/or monitor live video.</p>
  
  <p>I would be surprised if Adobe Premiere Pro (or other NLEs) can handle live video as an editable stream.  But MediaExpress can record with a confidence monitor, and then Premiere Pro can edit the resulting file.</p>

Answers.Text: Is is possible to see the footage in Final Cut while the camera is recording, instead of recording first and then importing it?

Answers.Text: I don't know. According to the manual [you can live record from the computer's built-in camera or a connected camera](http://help.apple.com/finalcutpro/mac/10.2/#/ver41814595). However, I've not tried it with a DSLR. Perhaps if you read that section of the manual it will give you more details.

Body: <p>My university is setting up a video production studio and they want to use a DSLR camera to record videos. However, they want the camera to feed the video into an iMac with Premier or Final Cut installed while it is recording, so I can preview it on the computer screen. Can this be done? </p>
  
  <p>I read somewhere that Premiere and Final cut both use firewire to do this but neither the 1Dx and iMac have firewire inputs. I also read that I can use USB 3 or thunderbolt cable and a Black Magic or AJA box but there are so many products on their sites and I'm confused. Also, the 1Dx only has USB 3 and HDMI outputs.  </p>
  
  <p>Please help.</p>
  
  <p>Best Wishes
