Thanks for the info Mark. After your post, I did a “ton” of research and found that the FSI monitor are very well received and their quality is excellent… great reviews.

Thanks,

In your experience, if you have 3 of the Sanken COS 11’s on at the same time in the same proximity of a news set, do you think you would get alot of ambient room noise?

Thanks Eric. That being said, would you have a recommendation for an omnidirectional mic for a news set?

I’m using Premiere Pro CS 5.5. I did check to make sure the codec was correct and I have it on Intra-100. I’m doing some more tests and using different monitors, so I will let you know.

I’m still not sure why the video is soft in the LCD.

Thanks

On that note,

I’m not sure if you know this, but The focus assist has an option in the camera menu to change it from that “zoom in” to red outline of whatever is in focus(not sure if that’s clear or not). The red outline makes it easier to focus.

Let me know if you find out any more info.

Thanks for the info. Do you know if that is just the way it is from the factory?

Thank you all for your help! It’s time to experiment and see what looks the best. When I have is complete, I’ll send you a pic.

Thanks,

Hi Bill,

The lights will eventually be moving downstairs to a bigger room. I know they aren’t ideal, but they do light up the anchors quite well and with our limited budget, we try to get the most from every purchase (I’m sure you understand).

Do you have any suggestion(s) on a small dimmable backlight for the anchors? We are going to move the desk up a few more feet.

Thanks,
Larry

Thanks for the info guys. The set is currently that close to the background because of space constrains. We are going to move it forward for more DOF.

If we had a higher ceiling, the drum lights would actually light the background quite well. The panels aren’t duratrans. They are very thin pieces of sheet metal with a graphic on them. We created the graphics in-house and a car detailing shop created them. They are similar to the “wraps” that you see on U-haul trucks or tractor trailors.

On a side note, this studio will eventually be moved to a better part of the building, but for now, this is out situation.

Thanks,
Larry
