Premium Members Ramon Engle Posted April 10, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 I'm flying the 5D Mk III next week. I've never used this camera, i try to avoid the DSLR's. Whats the best way to: Fly an onboard exposure monitor for the DP Get an HD Image into my sled Get an HD Image to my HD transmitter? I've used the MK I and hated the loss of image issue. Is this camera any different? I have the hdmi to sdi converter, and have thought about broadcasting SD if it makes my life any easier. I don't mind flying an onboard. I need the weight.

Premium Members Wolfgang Troescher Posted April 10, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 With the latest firmware you have full HD output (clean hdmi with 4:2:2 8 Bit uncompressed). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Victor Lazaro Posted April 10, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 The mkIII doesn't have the issue of switching to SD when recording that the mkII had. You're good to go with a HDMI to SDI converter. Then it's like any other SDI camera from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Members brett.mayfield Posted April 15, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 Just like these guys said, the MkIII doesnt downres the image, so youre good to go with a converter. I have used an Israeli arm with a hot-shoe mount like this one http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=&sku=616251&Q=&is=REG&A=details and then used it to oversling a SmallHD monitor off the side of the camera. I believe SmallHD and other manufacturers have ptap options so that you can plug straight into a ptap battery plate. http://store.smallhd.com/Store/5-6-inch-HD-Monitor-Accessories/Dtap-Barrel-45in I have used the setup below (built by cedric martin) and others similar in order to get power to different components above the post. there are also Canon-Ptap solutions: http://www.switronix.com/products?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=150&category_id=39 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
