The first thing you should do is ask the theater what capabilities they have for digital projection. Some may not have any.

Well I read some reviews from people who had purchased both and it seems the sony is the winner so I bought one from overstock.com for $509. So I’ll let you know how it works after a trial.

[Jerry Hofmann] “Doesn’t the optical drive slot have IDE connectors?”
Actually I just spoke to the apple sales tech and he said that the slot has Parallel ATA connections and another hard drive could be used in that slot. The only thing is it may require a different mounting bracket. Woooohoooo 2 TB internal raid on slide out sleds.

Thanks Walter,
In researching the sony I also came across a panasonic HD LCD. Have you seen this one?https://www.overstock.com/?page=proframe&prod_id=1862229

[candle] “is it okay to cheat with more light than you know is actually there?”
NO you can’t do that, it wouldn’t be right:-) LOL!
Well, seriously do you think when you see a movie shot at night in the woods that the blueish light you see beaming through the trees is actually moonlight? The idea is to give the illusion that the subject is being lit from the source light, i.e. the entrance to the cave.
If you want to see some very well lit cave scenes go and see a movie called “The Descent”. -
[walter biscardi] “Have you actually seen the Pansonic monitors?”
Yes, I’ve seen it on set as well as in the edit bay and the quality is great.
[walter biscardi] “I’ll look at the component feed when I get down to the office and see what it looks like from the 1200A deck”
Thanks Walter, I realize the Panasonic would be a far superior monitor to travel with and have on set, I was just curious to see if the dell could be used as a monitor for checking focus and for viewing. Sometimes due to budget you have to cut corners somewhere.

Yeah Shane,
I have no doubt there would be a difference and having the waveform in the corner of the 1700 is a great asset, but for a difference of around $2000 I thought it would be worth looking into.
BTW, you use the 2405 for a fullscreen playback of your HVX and Varicam footage don’t you? How does that look?
Do you have it hooked up to the output of a Kona card? -
Also turn off audio waveforms in the timeline.

It actually says that testing was conducted using a beta version of FCP.

[Q_yes just the letter] “I had it sitting upright and it fell over”
Sit it upright again and tip it over the opposite way:-(
