Premium Members Lawrence Karman Posted July 9, 2008 Premium Members Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 here it is Saw this monitor at Cinegear. One thing I did not like was the inability to reposition the electronic bubble level in the picture. It lives under the frame. I'm used to putting mine (XCS) touching the top frame line. I tend to watch headroom a lot and I see the bubble more there. That's just my personal taste, though. Perhaps a software change in the future will allow you to repo.We tried to turn the monitor upside down at Cinegear but we couldn't outwit the level; it flipped with the picture too. I also found the built in frame lines a bit faint. The picture was bright, on the plus side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Members JobScholtze Posted July 10, 2008 Premium Members Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 About the overexposure knob, can you adjust it? Or is it just plain 100% level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Hervé Colosio Posted July 11, 2008 Premium Members Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 About the overexposure knob, can you adjust it? Or is it just plain 100% level. you can adjust it as you want , you set the 100 % point and you set the start of orange warning on the picture , it works like a zebra on camera . another tool is the black level it works in the same way for the black .

Premium Members chris fawcett Posted July 11, 2008 Premium Members Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Hi Job, Copied from the brochure: OverExposure & Black Details Control A new tool is born for the CineMonitorHD SB family, the over-exposure and the Black Detail Control. Part of the ?Advanced Measurement Tool? pack, it colorizes the overexposed zones and the blacks of the live picture. The settings are: MAX LEVEL Sets the maximum allowed white up to 107 IRE WHITE CLIPPING Sets the acceptable safety level up to MAX LEVEL MIN LEVEL Sets the minimum allowed black down to -7 IRE BLACK CLIPPING Sets the acceptable safety level down to MIN LEVEL It is possible to activate separately the OVER EXPOSURE and the BLACK DETAILS This function is greatly appreciated when the lighting conditions are difficult, outside shots, Steadicam? operations. Available on: CineMonitorHD6 SBL CineMonitorHD12 SB CineMonitorHD15 SB There is no over-cost for this feature as it is a part of the ?Advanced Measurement Tools? pack. The ?Advanced Measurement Tools? pack includes the RGB Waveform, the Histogram, the Vectorscope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members JobScholtze Posted July 13, 2008 Premium Members Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Thanks Chris, Looks like a great monitor at a high price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members chris fawcett Posted July 14, 2008 Premium Members Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Thanks Chris,Looks like a great monitor at a high price. True, But it's also, in most cases, an upgrade to digital level and (HD) frame-line generator too. Not to mention a solution to all your down-converter problems. If you do green-screen work, the waveform generator is invaluable too. Me, I just love the picture. All the best, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members chris fawcett Posted July 16, 2008 Premium Members Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 Hi All, Here are some pictures relative to questions asked in this thread about mounting the unit on an Archer, and the horizon options. I include some of the waveform options too. They are self-explanatory (I hope). http://steadivision.com/transvideo/ All the best from a very satisfied, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Members Sven Joukes Posted September 3, 2008 Premium Members Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Hi guys, I got mine last week and I just love all the things Jacques stuffed into this monitor. As you said Chris, framelines (triple), tally, level, superbrightness, aspect ratios, multistandard, measuring tools... it's all there at the push of a button. Not to mention the SUPERB customer service. It really feels like this monitor was actually designed with Steadicam operators in mind. Only thing I'm still thinking about is will I let go of my trusty Cine IIIa? (only thing I miss in the HD6 is the onscreen Voltage display, or did I miss that one?) Cheers, Sven (see you at IBC) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members JobScholtze Posted September 3, 2008 Premium Members Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Cine III is a great monitor too, and it will be a super backup lcd, or perhaps i make it wireless for the assistent/director/producer/idontknowwhoelse.

Call Jacques, That's the kind of feedback he thrives on. See you at IBC, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members chris fawcett Posted September 9, 2008 Premium Members Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 I'm sure Job will agree. This monitor kicks. As well as the horizon and HD frame-lines, it has an over/under exposure indication that has come in really useful with video work. This is not just another over-driven monitor with jacked-up brightness. You really can judge exposure on this gem. I urge you all to stop by the Transvideo booth at IBC (11.B68) to check it out. I'll have one on my rig too, so you're welcome to have a look at it too. All the best, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Jason Torbitt Posted September 9, 2008 Premium Members Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 So for the uninitiated, does this monitor also do digital bubble as well as framelines, when you're pumping HD-SDI into it? And it does look good outdoors - is it a good performer in both bright sunlight or against a washed-out grey sky? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
