  • AJA io/xt Premiere Pro broadcast monitor need

    Posted by Randy Durham on July 19, 2012 at 7:46 pm

    I have Premiere Pro CS6 on a 17″ MacBook Pro along with an AJA io/xt interface. I don’t do a lot of commercial spot work so I haven’t needed a broadcast monitor per say for color correction till now. Can anyone recommend a good quality broadcast monitor that I can connect to the io/xt for around $2000 or less? My current 52″ SONY LCD (via HDMI) and 7″ smallHD monitor (via SDI) both look different from my laptop display so I’m not sure which display to trust for color correction. I have a client that wants to make sure the color of their product that we shot with a RED Epic camera at 4k is the same color they will see when the spot airs on the network. So any recommendations on a quality color correction broadcast monitor for my setup is most appreciated.

    2K$ monitor is not that easy to find but have a look at JVC.
    17″ ex demo might fit into your budget.

    This is what you want.
    https://www.flandersscientific.com/index/pg91216 $500 over budget. You may be able to find a demo unit for less.

    That looks great. I might spring for the additional amount to get the production package. Thanks!

    Obviously the Flanders is fantastic, but take a look at the HP DreamColor. https://h10010.https://www1.hp.com/wwpc/us/en/sm/WF05a/382087-382087-64283-72270-3884471-3648397.html?dnr=1

    It is also an excellent monitor and may wind up being more bang for your buck at 1920×1200 and 24″. It is also $250 less than the Flanders.

    Dreamcolor does not have HD-SDI

    Hi Steve, been meaning to ask you this the last couple of days and pardon my ignorance, but what would be the specific advantage of having SDI on the monitor? Are the signals between the two out of the IoXT not the same?

    [Matthew Sonnenfeld] ” but what would be the specific advantage of having SDI on the monitor? Are the signals between the two out of the IoXT not the same?”

    HDSDI signals are most traditionally carried as interlace or progressive segmented frame in 1080.

    HDMI is a true progressive signal, always. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI
