by Arnie Schlissel in the HD High-End Forum
In that size range you can certainly find a monitor that's 1280x720 for not too much $$. The problem is still going to be that there's no blue check button, and I wouldn't expect the most accurate color rendition, anyway. Arnie Post production is not an afterthought! http://www.arniepix.com/...

[Bob Cole] " One of the main criteria is to be able to quickly perform a rough color-bar calibration." Well, that's a problem, right there. Consumer displays do not have a blue only button, so calibrating to color bars is not so simple. [Bob Cole] " I mainly am checking...

by Bob Cole in the HD High-End Forum
I'm looking for a small consumer HDTV for field monitoring. I mainly am checking focus and composition in the field so "broadcast quality," while nice, seems like overkill. I thought this "demystifying" article might be of interest to this group. http://www.displaymate.com/LCD_Response_Time_ShootOut.htm I saw the same survey mentioned in a recent...

by Bob Birkett in the HD High-End Forum
Thanks Peter. It wasn't clear to me that the HMR10 is 4:2:0. When it is available, I will be interested to see how it compares to my Firestore DVCPRO HD recordings. Perhaps a more compact version KiPro will emerge....

| | | | | Re: AVCHD Codec Quality
by Peter DeCrescenzo in the HD High-End Forum
Hi Bob: AVCHD is a 4:2:0, 8-bit, MPEG-4, long-GOP codec. The Panasonic HMR10 records this to SDHC cards at a max. data rate of 24 megabits/sec. Apple's ProRes codec files are typically encoded @ 10-bit and contain much, much more video information (4:2:2 or 4:4:4) and at data rates up...

The Ki Pro does look like a great product and offers a superior recording quality. If you break away from the tripod, however, it's too big to mount on the camera (HDX900 in my case). I guess you could carry it in a Portabrace bag. Will it run off a...

Jayanta, Is the problem common to HDV footage or DVCam footage or both? Not familiar with your NLEs. Need more detail about the problem in general. Does your PC even "see" the firewire connection and the HVR-s270 attached? The problem may just be an improperly installed firewire card or a...

How do you think the KI Pro is less portable? HD DSI out? Set it on the table and add 300 feet of cable. How much more portable does it need to be? Add it to the exoskeleton and mount it under your camera. Pro Res HQ is the only...

Hello, I'm trying to compare some of the new options for recording HD from an HD-SDI output. With Panasonic's introduction of the AG-HMR10 compact recorder, I'm wondering about the quality of the AVCHD codec. Although it has been used mostly in smaller camcorders, how would the images compare to DVCPRO...
