Premium Members axel ebermann Posted January 13, 2015 Premium Members Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Want to use this as a clamshell / directors monitor. Any input from people with hands-on experience would be much appreciated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Members Ben Rowsell Posted March 30, 2015 Premium Members Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 I purchased the SBL version recently. In full sun I haven't needed to use the provided hoodman. Currently using it in very low light situations, if you play around with the colour space settings (linear, etc), it can pull detail out of the dark areas of the picture where the other brand monitors on set are failing. Excellent & simple layout, actual physical buttons that work properly rather than touchscreen, robust build quality and attention to detail. I would say that at 540 lines of resolution the image quality is better than other 800 lines monitor. Also the accessories are worth looking into. Not cheap but you get what you pay for.... I also have the StarliteHD which is also a great monitor (serves a different purpose). Ben Rowsell 1st AC NZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evrim KAYA Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 thank you for your reply Ben! is the rainbow hd7 able to record video on the SD card or the SD card port is there just for screen capture, frames lines and such? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Jens Piotrowski SOC Posted March 30, 2015 Premium Members Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 i do not believe there is a recording function for the Rainbow HD, but the Starlight HD records on a SD card.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evrim KAYA Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 bummer but not a deal-breaker. perhaps a future firmware upgrade would make it possible. hopefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marianne Exbrayat Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 The 7" RainbowHD SBL records still frames only, the 5" StarliteHD records still & video. Some body-rig operators now put the 5" as a 2nd monitor on the top of the batteries as a recorder, but also for framing backward shots. On the 7", the default setting is REC709, but I highly recommend to set the monitor to LINEAR instead. It delivers much more details in the blacks and mid-tones.

Premium Members daniel hanit Posted August 8, 2015 Premium Members Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 Can anyone say how the Starlite performs in daylight compared to the Rainbow? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Jens Piotrowski SOC Posted August 18, 2015 Premium Members Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 1000 nits Tvlogic VS 450 nits RainbowHD 7 ( non - super bright) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marianne Exbrayat Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Jens, Thanks for the picture. This 7" RainbowHD (450 Nits) is not the SuperBright version and it holds up very well next to the other brand 1000 Nits! Not to mention the superior coating that is obvious on this photo. This 7" RainbowHD list price is $1900 shipping from California. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
