I’ve seen this with several of my HDLink boxes. As Chris suggested all you have to do is load the utility and make an adjustment (resetting works well).

Check out LinkColor (https://www.linkcolor.tv). This is my primary tool for LUT creation and on set grading.

The problem you are seeing has to do with a somewhat recent change in the phantom .cine format. When you use the onboard flash memory of the camera the controller software now lets you download clips with a lossless compression (referred to as “packed”.cine files), which is now the default setting. I’ve seen this and similar problems with resolve and gluetools, as well as older versions of speedgrade. You can either transfer the clips out of the camera as unpacked, or you can use the phantom controller software to “unpack” them after the fact.

You’ve probably figured this out by now, but if you select one clip with the proper distort settings, copy, then select the rest and right click->paste attributes, then check the distort box.

I was on a TV series a little while back where we had 2 sony LMD-2450’s. They are as bad as everyone says. from the spec sheet everything looks fine, but in reality and Apple cinema display with an HDLink box looks better for a LOT less.
I’ve been using a Flanders LM-2450w, and I’d say this truly is the new affordable LCD to beat. I’d compare the image quality and viewing angle to Cinetal and TV Logic, but the price is closer to the JVC. I’m not sure if it tops the Sony BVM-L230, but it certainly comes close and I’m hoping to do a side by side later this week.

I use an EIZO CG241w with and HDLink Pro box and have been very impressed with it, although the viewing angle does leave a bit to be desired. It is in fact an 8 bit panel, however it uses 12 bit processing for internal gamma/white point correction. I’m interested to see the CG232w which should be out soon, which has SDI and DVI.

Thanks Luke, it’s a really exciting product, and I look forward to getting one. I’ll be sure to send an email off to that address.

I’m using the pro version (needed the loop-through) and yes, it does not work exactly like a blue-only button on a CRT. I believe the intent is to then use the picture controls on your monitor as opposed to the curves in the HDLink Utility to adjust the picture settings. At least that’s what I do…

I like the idea of having all 6 functions visible at once, but for location use it would be useful to be able to display one at a time on a 12″ (800×600 possibly?) display and cycle through them. I’m sure this isn’t what you really had in mind when you designed this system, but I’m already looking at a battery operable mini-itx enclosure that could be attached to the base of a 12″ touch panel…

Which is really unfortunate. Even though apple seems to prefer ATI, the quadro adds a LOT of processing power.
