Hello everyone! Is there a cable that's available for purchase that goes from the 5D Mark II to a component? Currently that cable goes from the camera to a audio/video cable. I'm inquiring as budget doesn't allow me to purchase another monitor. I currently have a Marshall 7" HD monitor and it works with Component, Composite and S Video. I would like to possibly use the component on the monitor. The single video doesn't allow me to go full screen.

According to the manual there is no component output on the 5D. :(

As Chris has already indicated, there is no component output on the 5D Mk. II
or any other Canon D-SLR, and there's no such thing as a component-to-HDMI
cable (http://www.bluejeanscable.com/articles/component-to-hdmi-cable.htm), either (see this example). You'll need a converter box to do the job, like
this one (http://www.amazon.com/HDMI-RCA-Component-AV-Converter/dp/B002WBOQPU/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1292781707&sr=8-2) (about $50).

Thank you everyone. Is there a HDMI to component cable? I just want to possibly use my existing Marshall HD Monitor without have to spend those additional dollars.
