Title: the broadcast monitor question
Post by: fredjeang2 on April 20, 2013, 01:14:36 pm

Hi,

I'm wondering if there is a
Relatively reliable alternative
To broadcast monitoring.

I'm not talking in the ideal
Situation but in A budget concern
That could avoid guessing.

The cost of BM are serious.

Guess what? I was reading a few posts in the medium format section and I was feeling a bit low. This has cheered me up!

Thank you.

A really cool solution was introduced by BMD this NAB, the 8" x 2 SmartView Duo version with scopes, for less than $1,000. It is phenomenal, and I hope it delivers. Here's the link: http://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/smartview

Stay away from the MFDB section, Sareesh!  It is a bitter and bottomless pit of pointless bickering.
