Dell Monitor Users

[Bill Snyder]

Firstly, thanks so much for details on the dell panels.

To double check, I can find out if I have a TN pannel by googling and finding a list of serial numbers that might diferenciate between TN and S-IPS?

At this point, I have gotten the MXO to work with my 2005fpw.
But I have a jumpy 1080p 29.97 image. It looks like a progressive jumpiness.

What’s weird is in FCP is that when it asks me to select a format mode for the project I can select MXO XDCAM 1080p 29.97
(which I assume is 30 at dropframe) but to output it to my dell it doesn’t give me the same setting option…the closest I can get is uncompressed 1080p 29.97. It has HDV, DVCPro50 and such but no XDCAM setting. I assume they have to match.

Maybe you could tell me what your settings are in FCP while using the MXO for project set-up and external monitoring?

Again, thank you so much!

The MXO setting that you choose in the External Video submenu in FCP has to match your sequence settings. In other words if its NTSC DV Anamorphic you choose that. If its DVCPROHD 720p 23.976 then you choose that. It has to be exactly the format your sequence is in, so that the MXO can interpret it properly for display on the monitor. You don’t need to think about what resolution the monitor is running at, the MXO takes care of that, as long as you’ve got it running at a usable resolution, like the one I mentioned.

What resolution did you get it running at by the way?
