Re: HD Monitoring
by Bob Zelin on Jun 16, 2009 at 9:42:37 pm

Hi Del -
I looked at the HP Dreamcolor monitor at the NAB show. It's a great price at under $2000. But there is a catch. The HP Dreamcolor only has a HDMI input and DVI input - no SDI or HD-SDI. So, how do you get an HD signal into it? At the NAB show, HP had the Gefen HD-SDI to DVI converter on this monitor. It was attached to an AVID Nitris DX system HD-SDI output. I have read on the AVID-L2 lists that others have tried the AJA HDP, and Blackmagic HDLink (HD-SDI to DVI converters), and there have been scaling issues with this. HP's response says USE THE GEFEN CONVERTER. So this is an extra added expense to this $2000 monitor to make it work properly.

But it looked very nice to me. How nice- not nicer than the Panasonic or JVC HD monitors, and NO, not nicer than the CineTal monitor.

this is the gefen converter -
