EPIC HDMI output

[Tom Chase]

Hello eveyone - Not sure if this is the right place for this.

I am trying to use an older Viewsonic Monitor as part of a video village setup for a short shoot this weekend. The Monitor is a DVI monitor, which I am running a brand new HMDI to DVI cable, to the back of the epic. When I turn on the monitor it tells me no signal. When I go HDMI to HDMI to my smallHD DP4 it works perfectly, when I even go HDMI to HMDI to 46" TV it works.

Am I missing something or can I not use a DVI based monitor?

HELP

Thanks everyone.

Tom

Adjust the refresh rates under the HDMI settings (in the display settings menu of the camera). That hopefully will solve your problem.

Check that the monitor can receive a true progressive signal. Also check Epic is set to send a suitable resolution image that the Monitor supports.

I checked all the different refresh rates and nothing. Will check and see about the progressive signal.

Thanks

Okay so the plot thickens - Haven't been able to find out if the monitor can receive true progressive signal, its a Viewsonic VX2459WM. But when I do this setup, Epic to HDMI to DP4 to HDM/DVI to Viewsonic it works. By using the DP4 as a pass through it seems to pass the signal to the Viewsonic (now I don't care how about the image quality I really just need it for composition) but it seems like a pain in the but to add the DP4 in the middle.

Thanks again

Tom
