Looks like a straight upgrade from their DC-550. I wish more companies would include a folding sunhood like this

@definingslawek4731 23 күн бұрын

it accepts signal up to 4k 30? Does that mean I can't shoot 4k 60 and have an image on the monitor? I don't quite understand how that works. Many people shoot 4k60 and even the new shinobi is max input at 4k 30.

@definingslawek4731 22 күн бұрын

@@iamRickBonilla Okay so it turns out you can just output from your camera at less than 4k seeing as we're not recording on the monitor anyway, and the monitor isnt 4k so then it's possible to monitor your 4k 60 as it will go to monitor at 1080 60.

Hi, the monitor look really great. I'm wanting to get into cinimatography and i was abit confused with rec709 and Log. On the monitor do you see the rec 709 footage which was log but now rec709 due to the applied lut? Is that how it works?

@iamRickBonilla Ай бұрын

@@gamesta8353 yes which is helpful when filming with a lut on the monitor which you will use as a reference of how your video could look while filming it. So what you do is you make your video looks good with the lut on then you start recording. When your done use that same lut you used in the monitor and apply it to your recoded footage into your video editing software where you will see a great starting point for you to start color correcting and color grade to your liking

Hey man! Great video! A bit of a specific question for you, but I see you have a Komodo. I own a Komodo-X and the SDI protocol is such a pain to work around, but I know is a necessity to avoid burning out my SDI port on my Komodo. I seriously hate having to constantly disconnect my SDI cable, do you know if powering this monitor via USB-C would negate the need for the whole SDI protocol? Secondly, how is the latency on the monitor via SDI? Is it noticeable? And finally what is the biggest downside for this monitor? I’m coming from a Hollyland Mars M1 Enhanced and an Atomos Ninja V. Thanks in advance! 😁

@iamRickBonilla Ай бұрын

@@Taylored-Media Hey man how’s it going Rather stay with the M1 reasons why it’s a more professional monitor, it has better false color representation, also, the work around type-c is not ideal since it’s not passive power to the unit if it’s off, dc since it direct current it will still drive power like D-Tap, as long there’s a bettery connected, the easiest way to combat that SDI sequence is you can have the SDI connected to the Komodo always “BUT!”….. Make sure the end that connects to the monitor is disconnected when there’s no power! Both ends can’t be connected when there’s no power, one is fine but not both that’s how I been doing it, always connected to my Komodo, when I’m not using a monitor, but when I do obviously power the monitor and then connect. Hope that helps man!

@iamRickBonilla Ай бұрын

@@rectape I’m not Gerald Undone I don’t get paid to do these videos all I get is to keep the item which doesn’t impact what I think of the monitor, did you watch the full video? For what your paying $268 it’s very hard to justify a con, fan noise you barely even hear it

@rectape Ай бұрын

@@iamRickBonilla ok thanks, I saw an other review that says the fans were loud and the screen is getting very hot.

@iamRickBonilla Ай бұрын

@@rectape yea I’ve seen a few videos showing the problem with that is these individuals are point the Mic Directly to the Microphone so what’s to be expected? If If your going to use this monitor on a filmmaking basis the fan noise will never be Loud enough to compromise your audio not even on a documentary job. The fan of your light will be louder. Put it this way everyone talks great things about the átomos monitors that they are the best like small HD, they have the loudest fans on any monitor on the market but they are being used 90% of the time because of their brand name therefore they don’t get judged only the cheap ones. I hope this helps buddy don’t let any video make you decide your purchase, you can always buy something and return it nowadays thanks for your comment I really appreciate you stopping by!!!!

@@iamRickBonilla I’m holding out to see what a potential Lumix S1H-II would look like, they have all the video centric software features you’d expect from Sony. Having to wait for updates for shutter angle. And yet still no false color or other video features is a drag. The EL zone false color is already in the Atomos ninja monitors and the smallhd monitors. But again whatever agreement they came too with Ed Lachman is between those two parties. Thank you very much for the link. I hope you have a wonderful and safe day.
