Anyone got tips for using a SmallHD DP6?
Posted by Noam Osband on August 9, 2011 at 9:41 pmI just got a SmallHD DP6 external monitor for use with my HMC-150. I’m wondering if anyone who uses this has some advice for someone who is going to be using it. Anything at all!

I know exactly why nothing is happening. The screen of the DP6 is natively 720×1280 resolution, so you are already seeing a 1-to-1 pixel view of your video! If you were shooting 1920×1080, however, you would be able to zoom in because you’re working with more resolution.
