    Monitoring

    Posted by David Battistella on September 27, 2005 at 9:02 pm

    Just a quick question.

    Does the varicam show you the compressed image going to tape fromt he HD-SDI output or does it only shoot out an 8-bit uncompressed HD image? I ould expect the side OP is uncompressed and the rear one compressed?

    What field monitor is recomended for the Varicam?

    Thanks in advance

    David,

    Yes, the HD-SDI output of the Varicam is the best quality possible; better than the recording!

    The most common monitor used with this camera is the 8.4″ Panasonic HD LCD, because amoung its other features it also boasts built in Gamma Correction for correct viewing of the 500% Dynamic Range setting in Film Rec.

    For a short time recently they were even giving the monitor away with each camera purchase!
