The Panasonic 17" Prototype NAB

[Scott Webster]

I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere else on the web and I can't find product links but heres the details.

At NAB on the Panasonic future products stand was a 17" HD LCD ala the BT-LH1700 but with one important difference.

This monitor had a slot for a SD card and playback controls on the front panel. The monitor has been designed to enable you to record you incoming HD-SDI signal to the AVCHD Codec to SD card. The perfect split monitor and dub unit.

Take your SD card out, pop it into a PS3 for big screen dailies projection.

A complimentary unit to this was a blu-ray unit that had a SD slot too. You could then back up your AVCHD dub to blu ray disc.

Sorry but what does the XLR option provide you? does it connect to batteries, or to some kind of standard power supply?
Do you have a link?

XLR is a pretty standard power connector for film and video equipment. You will find XLR power on a lot of field equipment which means that there are a lot more readily accessible accessories to easily power off of batteries, D-taps, AC/DC power adapters, etc.

Abel makes a battery adapter that mounts to the back of the Panasonic 17" monitor so that one can use Anton Bauer batteries to power it. A Hytron 140 will run the monitor for several hours. The battery mount attaches without altering the monitor in any way so no warranties are voided and it takes all of 3 minutes to set it up. We also make an articulating stand and adapter to mount it onto a light stand plus a nice case to hold everything. This is how we send out all of our rental units. All of these items are available for purchase and I believe are listed on our website.

Hey, thanks for the info
I've used XLR connectors for audio, but I haven't used them for power yet. That's why i asked for some link where I can read on this equipment and stardards... also I think I need to read about D-tap.

I'll do some research
