After many hours and many different cameras, I still love my Small Hds. However, there are 2 MAJOR issues that have not been adressed. The monitors suffer from a latency issue, minor, but relavent, feels like about a frame off. More serious, they often have trouble locking in to SDI or HDMI signals. This requires either a reboot or toggle back and forth from HDMI to SDI input selects. I've seen this issue with several Small HD monitors, both mine and other owners. I would love to see this resolved! What do you say Small HD? A fix?

This problem seems to have been corrected since firmware version 3.0 and higher.

The latest 3.1.1 does not have this issue as far as I can tell with my monitor.

We are using Sony F55's on my current show. The camera itself has a 2 frame delay through the eyepiece, and a 3 frame delay through my SmallHD...so at least with my monitor, there is only a 1 frame delay in the actual monitor.

What happens when you plug into another monitor? Do you only get a two frame delay from the camera?

Here's an interesting one I discovered last nite: When cross-converting from HD-SDI to HDMI, the DP7 develops a tiny lag in it's image, but the downstream monitor that's connected to that cross-converted HDMI signal is fine. Then again I am still using the 2.4 firmware. I've been leery of updating to 3.1.1. Have you tried to cross-convert with the 3.1.1 firmware installed?
