  Monitoring SD in the field

  Posted by Chris Conroy on April 10, 2008 at 3:32 pm

  What is the best way to monitor the signal from the EX-1 on an SD monitor in the field?

  We’re currently using the AV connector, but this is kludgey at best. Can we monitor via the SD out on the back of the camera? I haven’t been able to get this working.

  Thanks,
  Chris

  You can monitor SD via the HDSDI connection on the back.

  I wish I was good at one thing rather than average at many, but oh well.

  Rick,

  Thanks for your reply.

  I thought that was the case, but I haven’t been able to get that to work… Any suggestions?

  If you want to see the HDI/SDI out in a NTSC or PAL monitor you need to convert that signal (digital) to NTSC or PAl (analog) . You need a video card to do that. For example an AJA ioHD.

  Mac OX 10.5.2-FC 6.02-QT 7.4.1
  G5 2x2Gh 4GbRAM-BlackMagic Extreme
  PMBP 17″Core2Duo 4GbRAM-AJA ioHD
  JVC DTV-17″
  SONY EX-1 . SONY PD170
  ..and always a big mess on top of the table.
