  • Recommended BT-LH1700 Monitor Settings for HVX200

    Posted by David Telling on October 23, 2006 at 5:23 pm

    Could I get feedback as to what settings users recommend for the Panasonic BT-LH1700W when shooting with the HVX200 in the field or studio – (connected via the component cable)

    I am shooting a presentation (720 24PN) next week for a plastic surgeon, filming his practice and interviewing patients. I will be using this monitor for the first time.

    With the various settings on this monitor – color temp settings – hi and low RGB settings – adjustable gamma – and Cine Gamma (Film Rec compensation), etc, I’m a little confused as to what would be the ideal “reference” settings for viewing 720 24PN direct from the camera – i.e. what should be turned on, what should be turned off, etc.

    I’d truly appreciate feedback on specific settings suggested to achieve a reasonable WYSIWYG result.

    Also, does everyone/anyone use the onboard scopes while shooting (any advice truly appreciated)?

    I just want to make sure I don’t have the wrong set up in the field and get surprised in post.

    Thank you so much.

    I do not recall all of the settings but I always use the built-in wave form monitor. Once it’s Calibrated to camera bars I mainly set exposure by just looking at the image but I ALWAYS double check the WFM. It’s also a great for focusing. I’ll try to have a look at how we set it up tomorrow.
