Advice on cost effective 2nd lcd monitor for focus puller

[Mike]

Hi guys,

Need your advice on this, I am currently using a HDMI monitor for director viewing, and I need to get another cost effective LCD monitor for focus pulling purposes.

Initially I plan to get the SMALLHD monitor, but it uses HDMI signal as well but the HDMI output is used for the director's monitor. Can anyone point me to the right direction to overcome this? Any other lcd monitor that can split the signal or other way around this?

Thanks.

The Blackmagic Smartview HD monitor has suited me well. HDSDI. Client reference only. Don't plan on using it for grading.

The little TVLogic LCDs seem to be fairly popular with ACs over here, and will take both HD-SDI and HDMI.

Also the new SmallHD DP7 looks like a pretty cool option (when it's available) http://www.smallhd.com/site/dp7-pro/

Hdmi splitter?

The SmallHD offers a HDMI loop-through for you to connect your other monitor to.

Over here (Switzerland) also. I really like it, sharp, light weight, sturdy, great focus assist. Highly reccomended.
Cheers,

Love the TVLogic 5.6" Monitor. Good monitor for focus and can do both HD-SDI and HDMI.

Thanks for the info, how much does TVLogic cost? It's not stated in their site.

By the way, Epic is able to output to both HDMI and HDSDI signal at the same time right?
