  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Monitoring for resolve

Projector or monitors all are good and capable to deliver very good results as long as the lab is fully collaborating and capable to deliver stable and consistent results on film developing as well as the facility that does film recording is able to be also consistent...

It was decided today that the 15 min piece will be done on 3D/stereo. I guess there a few projectors below 10 000 USD that are usable for this? Maybe the Panasonic BT300 with a dual-sdi card is the way to go?

Hmm, the JVC projector seems like a really good alternative... quite cheap: http://electronics.pricegrabber.com/projectors/JVC-DLA-RS35/m751062428.html

Combined with a consumer Panasonic plasma for television/web-work?

All my clients that used a JVC projector since the first DiLA introduction 5 years ago have got extremely good results for film-video-web work...

I basically suggest the cheapest JVC projector or a good Panasonic Plasma TV of the latest generations...

With both if the colour management is adequate you can compete the biggest studio on the planet...

For 3D you need a 3D projector but it might be tricky the profiling... and colour management... coz is the glasses in between and the software I use (CineSpace) doesn't has any option for this... You might ask Steve about 3D since its out of my reach... I'm specialist on Film stuff.

Hmm, since 80% of the screenings will be in 2D, it might be okay to do the color grading with 2D methodology, and apply a LUT for the 3D version?

I don't have this LUT... but its possible to exist such set of LUTs (left/right)... it might also be incorporated to DCP jpeg2000 converters I assume...

I will investigate it... interesting question...
 
Wow, the new 4k 3D projectors by JVC are not that expensive, about 8 000 USD for the 90 000:1 version... maybe I should save up for that one. I would like the Red laser projector, but who knows when it's ready...

In the mean time, maybe it's possible to use the Panasonic TX-P42GT20E I already have at my atelier. Do you think it can be calibrated quite okay?
 
It can be calibrated, but it will be a pretty big compromise over the higher end models like VT50 or BT300. I have never used this model (I'm in the US, we don't have it here), but usually the biggest challenge with lower end consumer models is inability to defeat all the image enhancement voodoo, and lack of calibration controls. The second issue might be alleviated by finding the service menu, which is kept secret from consumers but can sometimes be found on the internet, and will almost certainly be available to professional home theater calibrators. But the first issue (enhancement) is the one that'll really cause problems if it can't be 100% defeated.

Yep that's correct, you need to disable all before using it professionally.

But JVC projectors don't have that issue, they can bypass all. At least the models I have seen older than 2 years ago.

That problem also is easy to verify before ordering. A) by checking online the op-manual and B) with a sales person on the store.
