Michael,
As I said this is an HDLink box, NOT a decklink card, and the source material is coming from a camera’s HD-SDI out. This happens with any format (1080p24, 1080psf24, 1080p30, 1080psf30, etc.)-Sean

Just got my HDlink pro from B&H. Looks pretty good so far. The utility is the same as the latest one for the standard HDLink, but when a pro box is connected 3 new tabs appear, 3D red, 3D green, and 3D blue. Each one has the same interface as the 1D panel, which is still available. Essentially it works like the matrix controls in the panavision gamma utility with the added ability to adjust the curves for each variable.

I’d try a BM hdlink for $420 and you can use any dvi display you want. That will drive sd/hd monitors via dvi and allow for a 1D LUT to calibrate the display (also has a blue only mode). You may find an old CRT with an SDI board, but it’s likely to cost more.

Reggie, which card do you have, and what kind of monitor are you going to? Sounds like you may be sending 24p to a monitor that can’t handle it.

Not yet, although I should have my box soon so I’ll find out no matter what. I’m guessing it is a proprietary format, since the controller software for Panavision’s GDP offers hdlink as one of the formats for LUT import/export.

That’s the best news I’ve heard all day.

The system can handle it, the only problem is you need a card reader since the two use different card types. If for some reason time is not a factor, you could also use the USB cable.

This is confirmed by the brochure as well (page 8). It is a center spot average (sampling only what is inside the center mark and averaging that data).
-
There is a marker option that seems to be a 1% center spot directly next to the brightness level indicator, and it seems like it is at least weighted to that area. I’ll do some more thorough testing this afternoon to try and confirm that. Personally I think a combination of zebras and histogram is the best way to judge exposure.

Turns out part of the problem I was having was an incompatible cable. It worked with an external HD, a card reader, and a cell phone, but not with the ex1. For some reason a lower grade cable worked just fine and I was able to use the XDCAM transfer utility, or just drag and drop to another disk.
