Hmm, I think I'm confused. If they were walking next to you with a hardwired HD monitor (which sounds like a real treat), why did you need to have a hard wired down converted image? Why didn't you just transmit the down converted image to video village? The image was to poor to transmit . Our producer did not know when we were shooting with a down converted image at video village . He thought that things were out of focus . With to HD monitors side by side , one clear and clean the other was looking very buzzed. even when we would tell him other wise. The director liked to walk with the camera and have true 422 on the monitor as would would shoot . It is hard to please everybody - even when you would tell them ( This this down converted - NOT 422 ) We had two cameras going to whole time and when one is cabled ( 422 image )and when the other was down converted the creatives would start to ask what is going on . As for my monitor with direct hard wire . I was using a Cine 3 super bright not an HD monitor . The camera had an analog out with a built in down converter. Since then i did another HD show and i invested into an HD monitor from Transvideo and i'm glad that i did . J

(Is that tiny BNC running off the front of his rig just for monitoring? Is there a downconverter that works with this camera so it is possible to be completely cable free while still sending an image to the village?) That was a direct down converted image to monitor and with the flash mag. we would do video playback after the shot . My DP and the director would walk with me and have an 8 in HD monitor plugged into an SDI out port on the side of the camera. J.Radzik

Damn - sounds fishy to me . How many times have we left stuff in the car , to tired to take things out after a late & long night . And happening right after you park and go in . I think Erwin is right . Some one knew ..... I'll watch out as well .... John

well here is my 2cents : :) if you are going to stay in the video world , they have some new light weight rigs for the cheep out there. i saw one at cinegear expo.(from tiffen) for about 6,000.us everything but batteries.it was the nicest video rig i had seen to date. but if you plan on getting into shooting on film cameras i say go for it. find what you like (try different rigs )Plan for your price range. there many good rigs out there(i happen to fly an ultra )and i like alot. i wish you luck, john radzik

:huh: ah wait i'm suposed to get money for this ??? 6months of of freebees to build the reel and hoping that somebody would remember to call when they'd have a budget. my favorite line is (WE HAVE A GREAT DP AND GREAT ACTORS) and i'd say (how much do you have in the budget?) we are up and coming and would love to work with you again// :lol: john radzik

This is a brand new product. They just started selling them here. Transvideo have had them for over a year in Europe. i tried to get one last year (they said they illeagle in the us) Maryanne or Noel over at Transvideo can tell and show you all about them . johnradzik
