Luis Sinabaldi is an LA DP that was frustrated by the low quality and high price of LCD monitors so he spec’ed and built his own. He’s a one-man operation, so the lead time can be a bit long, but the price was right and it was absolutely worth the wait.
We’re getting ready to buy three more studio cams and I’m insisting on topping them with three more Carrion’s.
2) Install Renewed Vision’s Pro Video Player (PVP) (https://www.renewedvision.com/pvp.php) on two Mac’s (one for each projector). Copy the double-wide video to each Mac. Configure PVP on each machine to play the opposite half, configure one PVP as the master, the other as the slave. When you start playing the video on the master, it will sync-play the video on the slave.
I don’t think there’s much of a difference from 1/3 to 1/2. I think most of the motion problems come from cameras that use CMOS sensors. CCDs seem to do quite a bit better.
Here’s a link to some video footage from my JVC GY-HD110U. Our emphasis is in getting the video posted ASAP after each service, so I don’t take any time for color grading. We haven’t tackled our lighting yet, so it’s not the best, but I think the camera does really well considering.
A used GY-HD110 or GY-HD250 would fit your budget nicely. After two years, I’m still getting great footage from my HD110U and have had absolutely no problems.
