Hey Folks,

I realise this is an old thread, so maybe some of you have found a solution since initial posting?

I was wondering if a decimator 2 would help the situation?

It'd be small enough to fit onto the back of the UB2 and therefore I wouldn't need to get a new monitor.

Any info would be great.

Many thanks,

Greg

And just in case you didn't have enough options here is another.

Thanks Andrew, I went straight for the monitor's set up menu instead of the camera's. Good to know, thanks again.

Hey folks,

I was hoping the wider community could help me with a problem I had on a short at the weekend.

I prepped a job on Friday, Ultra 2 sled, Ultrabrite2 monitor and an Alexa, it was an older Alexa with max internal recording capacity of ProRes 4444HD. The image on the UB2 was perfect during prep no problems. Mon out - sled - UB2 - all good.

The cameraman wanted to record higher resolution via an external recorder/monitor - Odyssey 7Q. This all seemed fine, he just needed to buy a license from Convergent-Design to allow him to access this.

All that was required from the camera was a single BnC (Rec Out) to the recorder and this would achieve 2.8K image recorded on the Odyssey's SSD.

However I didn't get the chance to test the camera again until we were on set the next morning.

With the same cable configuration as in prep my image on the UB2 was now distorted, horizontal split screen two thirds up the screen, jittery/ staggered image.

I am not a tech wizard but I imagine the problem had something to do with the external recorder being up-resed, affecting the Mon Out port.

Has anyone experienced anything like this in the past? Or does anyone know of or can suggest a way around it?

I have emailed Tiffen with this query and with the same questions. However any suggestions would be welcomed.

Many thanks,

Greg

Hey folks I'd love your opinions on the pros and cons of the Pro Titan Arm versus the Tiffen G-70x.

I am about to purchase my first arm, its a big investment so I'd like to make use of the knowledge within this forum.

I have tried both arms but not to the extent where I could make a decision.

Many thanks,

Greg
