Hi Guys

Is there any production field monitor that you can recomended ? Somewhere around 17"-19" would be ideal and not larger than that, it will be too bulky and heavy. And also 9" small monitor.

Any ideas ?

Hi guys. I've been on DVXuser for a little bit now, and I have been posting about this project of mine. Someone at DVXuser suggested that I post this here also. I just don't know why it never occured to me. But here it is.

Ok Guys,

So after 9-12 months of trying to put this thing together and being ignored, stalled, and manhandled by the LCD industry, I'm finally proud to mention that I've pretty much finished my LCD. (really wished I would have been able to get this thing out sooner)

Here are the specs.

LCD Panel:

Features:
High resolution

The good thing about this is the image. Its really superb. The next best thing is the Angle of viewing. I really haven't seen anything with that much angle of view. Which is good for when more than one person are relying on the LCD.

Here are the first pictures. Please comment and ask questions if you would like.
Note the RGB connectors on top will be BNC and not RCA as those shown. I will fix this. I also need to add stickers to label things or possible do silk screened white letters.

Thank you.

Sony Luma series looks very interesting. Thanks for the link

Thanks for small monitor info emanuel.

Regards
 
I'm looking for ecinema new series, they're brand new FX23 looks like a good solution for field use but I'm still looking for list price. Someone has this info?
Ciao
 
Cinetal is reserve for online station. Not worth it for field monitor.

Or just used HDLink or any IO box and plug to HDMI or DVI based LCD. But i think i need at least an option so i can check over/under scan, blue channel checking and some others.
 
Maybe our opinion is different then. But hey, it's ok

Our Cinetal is sitting just fine in our online suite

peace
 
Sure Cinetal is fine for online, but it has option very usefull for on set, like bundle with Speedgrade on Set, exposure mode to see where you are burning the high or losing details in the dark, it has also network connection for sending or receiving LUT or reference frame from the studio, etc...

And I don't think BVM-L has these usefull option for on set. That's why I think Cinetal is good for on set.

antoine.

and love
 
Are you sure that Cinetal comes with Bundle SpeedGrade on Set ? If you have any official quotes or whatever, please send it to me cause i'm going to ask them our copy.

Thanks
 
Rivai, at ibc, cintal was demostrating (at least at the BandPro booth) SpeedGarde on set bundle with Cinetal. You could work on an "look" with SpeedGrade and the image from the camera was display on the cinetal monitor with the CC of your "look" you created with SpeedGrade in RT. You can switch between different "look".

I have no quote from cinteal for that option (didn't have time to talk to them). Certainly SpeedGrade on Set has to be bought separetely.

antoine.
 
Ah i see, yeah you can load .look format from Cinetal. That we have of course, i thought you're saying that cinetal bundle with on set software.

Thanks for clarification.
