Monitor setup

	Re: Monitor setup by walter biscardi on Nov 4, 2009 at 9:13:35 pm Panasonic Pro Plasmas are what we run here. We can calibrate them so close to the FSI that when the client watches the final rundown on those for the most part. http://www.panasonic.com/business/plasma/plasmas.asp We have three suites with them now and we'll have 5 more suites shortly and all will be outfitted with the same Pannys. We have the regular 720p panels in our room as I don't need the 1080p except that one will be in our new color client theater.

	Re: Monitor setup by Bob Zelin on Nov 5, 2009 at 1:05:57 am when you go to the NAB show, all you see is Panasonic plasma displays at EVERYONE's booth - AJA, Blackmagic, AVID - (everyone but Sony) - and even Apple had Panasonic plasma displays at their booth when they went to NAB.

	Re: Monitor setup by Chad Brewer on Nov 5, 2009 at 2:11:02 am Bob, I'm a friend of Jeremy Garchow. Our companies work together in Chicago. Our facility has both Panasonic (BT-LH1700W) and TV Logic monitors because it seems that the TV Logic ones are the only ones doing HD closed captioning support which we need. Yes, it sucks working with CC. Sony's monitors suck. Flanders doesn't want to touch CC right now. I don't blame them. What are your thoughts on TV Logic as a whole and what Panasonic's best LCD is opposed to plasma for "consumer grade" client viewing, big or small in size. By the way, we're not using them for color grading, we don't do that. chad www.televersions.com Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index

	Re: Monitor setup by Bob Zelin on Nov 5, 2009 at 3:31:23 am I only used Panasonic LCD monitors until I saw the Flanders monitors. I don't deal with close captioning, so I am not qualified to answer this question. I have no idea of what happens with Panasonic BT-LH series monitors and close captioning. Close captioning aside, I am not a fan of the new Panasonic BT-LH2550. It has much worse "off angle" viewing than even the older BT-LH2600 and the idea of forcing the editor and client to view at the "sweet spot" is just rediculous.

You can use the analog outs of your Kona for free. You can use an AJA HDSDI to HDMI adapter for money. You can use an AJA HDSDI to analog component adaptor for money. You can buy the HDSDI card for the monitor for money. You cannot put a blackmagic HDMI card in the same computer as the Kona, it just won't work.
