Replacement for OnLocation?

[Peter Moretti]

OnLocation is very useful for monitoring the live feed from the camera, but it only works with a Firewire signal.

Being that the newer cameras and laptops have been moving away from Firewire, is there an alternative program to use for on-set monitoring of the live image signal?

Thanks very much!

Check out scopebox. Works with thunderbolt devices. Mac only.

Wait some days for DaVinci 10, Live monitor and more.

There are plenty of benefits to having your post pipeline start in production itself. The most direct benefit is to have color corrected dailies completed on set, so that the director can review what they’ve put in the can that day. However Resolve 10 takes this thinking a step further with Resolve Live, letting you get an idea of what you will shoot before you roll.
Resolve Live allows you to perform a full grade on live incoming video, including nodes, power windows, LUTs etc. This lets the director and DP sit with the colorist on set in real time, and see directly what they’re getting as an end product before they actually shoot it.
According to Bob Caniglia, “Resolve Live gives you the ability to have a live input and grade while the camera is set up so that you can actually adjust lighting and whatnot to be able to fix it in production rather than post”
“That kind of feedback to the director, DP and DIT, is something that will become significant, especially if you create a look on set, you can save those files and send it on to the final grade, they can see what the thought process was on set and carry it through.”

I have to admit that I haven't used it since a while... but it allows to pull even a key from a live green screen feeds.

If you are just monitoring, use HDMI cable to an HDMI monitor or TV.

EDIT: Assuming you are using a RED camera.

Thanks, but I believe it's only Mac.

The great thing about OnLocation is that it has a vectorscope with adjustable gain and a waveform monitor.

Someone still uses OnLocation

i designed the interface for the original version by Serious Magic

THANK YOU!! One cool thing that the DV Rack version had was 2X vectorscope gain. OnLocation's gain only goes up to 1X. All those DSC Lab calibration charts require 2X gain to properly lineup the vectorscope.

But really, OnLocation was/is awesome... provided your camera can work with it.
