Known HDMI Campatibility w/ R1

[Kyle Mallory]

If you have used (or attempted to use) an HDMI monitor with your RED ONE, please post (or PM me) your make, model, size, type, resolution, and firmware (if applicable), and whether the camera worked, or hung, and with which R1 Build(s).

It seems 95% of all issues result in the same outcome: Your R1 hangs. If this is what happens to you, just say so. No need for a long-winded description of what you tried and how you tried it. If you have partial success, such as support for "720p", but not "Menus", please note as such in your post.

I will attempt to keep this post up to date with the latest information.

If you are not sure what firmware you have on your TV, I'd suggest checking out the LCD Flat Panel AVS Forums. You can find guides and latest firmware info for most models. If you can't find your Firmware information, don't worry about it-- better to have make and model alone than nothing at all.

Note: It is my understanding that all HDMI->DVI solutions are known to work. As such, I do not intend to include these in the list (else this list be huge!). If you have a HDMI->DVI solution which does not work, please let me know, and I will include it in this list.

thx mr. mallory,

thats a nice list. do you also know if somebody made a list of monitors which are working out of the box?

greetz manolo

 

[Brent J. Craig]

Could you update my report for the Panasonic 50" to include:
Native Resolution 1920x1080
Build 16 - 3.2.5
Panasonic TV Firmware #0170-1110
HDMI control (Vierra Link) off and on both tested

Next time I have a camera at home I will see if going through my AV Receiver makes any difference.

 

[Kyle Mallory]

Thanks guys.

MANXLX,

I will post all monitors that both work, and do not work. I will NOT post DVI monitors, unless they do NOT work. So far, all DVI monitors are known to work with 720p at a minimum.

If you have information for a working or non-working solution, please provide me the details and I will add it to the list.

Kyle

Bump.
Really... only one known HDMI LCD works?

 

[Jason Ing]

dell's 23" full hd widescreen lcd hangs the red.

That I've been told about. I know there are others who have had success, but I am not aware of any of the specs. If you know of any that do, please let me know.

Jason,

If you can get me the details, I'll update the thread. Kyle

 

[korberg]

List of working and not working monitors is good idea. I'll post our results:

BenQ FP241W -- works

BenQ G2400W -- won't work (monitor does not recognise the signal, however R1 does not crash)

 

[jimhare]

LG 60PG70FD 60" plasma freezes camera. LG 42" LCD still works fine.

Aquos:
LC-46D62U
LC-52D62U
mine's are 3 years old Sharp 1080P, both works from beginning Build 15- 18, but 720P though.

 

[Kyle Mallory]

Thanks guys. I've updated the list. Keep them coming!

Chosei, I'm curious if you've tried 1080p playback, and what your results were?

 

[RivaiC]

hey guys..where do u really see the application for HDMI to big LCD. The cost for long HDMI is very high...we need some 20-30 minutes cables just like BNC, but i dont think anyway you can get such long cable. But if you're going to put use this kind of setup..where do u think the application is going to be ?

 

[Kyle Mallory]

I have a 50' HDMI->DVI cable, I paid ~$60 for it. It works great, and a $500 HDMI/DVI monitor it is a lot cheaper as a 720p and 1080p on-set monitor than paying a couple thousand dollars for an HD-SDI production monitor. I wish the HDMI connection was a little more robust, but...

Also, I have a 100" CRT projector that I use for viewing dailies. I will occasionally play back directly from camera. It has HDMI but no SDI input.

One other test:

BENQ E2200HD/21.5"W 16:9 1080p HDMI -- did not work

 

[david_winters]

Sony Bravia XBR-Series KDL-40XBR2 40-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV. This model is a few years old, I have it at home, and it works with the R1 via HDMI to HDMI.

 

[Joe Shemesh]

EIZO FlexScan 2442W

EIZO FlexScan 2442W

Hey guys,
don't know if Eizo are common in the US - duel HDMI and work great with RED1
best

 

[Kholi Hicks]

Dynex 32" LCD -- Used to work, does NOT work now.

Samsung 42" LCD -- Freezes the camera.

 

[Etienne Caron]

dell's 23" full hd widescreen lcd hangs the red.

Ive bought the DELL 23" and test it. It work for 2 days on a shoot and after nothing... there is any reason why it work when i test it at Future Shop and now it wont ?

thanks

Were you connecting DVI or HDMI? I had an HDMI-DVI plug adapter fail. Replacing it fixed the problem.
