    Posted by Polyvios Symeonides on November 16, 2005 at 8:52 am

    Hi everyone !
    While shooting on blue screen with the varicam and we used two 2.5kw hmi lights we experienced flickering on the monitor and we couldnt avoid it.We tried a lot of things,like changing the shutter angle but that didnt work.The hmi lights were on flicker free mode.Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks !

    Use the synco scan (aka clear scan) to dial out the filcker. Your HMI may have been not working propperly.

    Silly thought. Were you shooting 24p vs 25p?
