I want to connect an XSI to my laptop to use the Live View function from the computer screen. My laptop does not have an video-in RCA jack. There are adapters and TV tuners available that can plug into the USB port or the ExpressCard/54 port on the laptop. But I am afraid if I order something it may not be compatible with the Canon camera/software. Can someone recommend a video adapter that has been proven to work?
Thanks,
Bill Morrow
