Wat about the hd lcd tv? Will is show whether it is in the correct field?
CRT TV works for this because it is an interlaced display.
LCD panel is progressive, so the TV will deinterlace the footage. What you see may may not obviously tell you that the field order is correct, depending on the deinterlacing method used. For example, if they just discard one field, you will not see any interlace problems so you would never know that the field order was wrong. If they use a smarter method, you might see more jittering, especially where there is a lot of movement in the video.
So are you saying that the new LCD broadcast monitor won't detect the interlacing problem? And all programmes for broadcast should be check on a normal crt monitor? Hope to find more answers before investing on an LCD broadcast monitor. Thank you.
You mentioned HD LCD TV, so that's what I was referring to. I don't have experience with LCD broadcast monitor. Hopefully it allows you to check field order but I suggest you confirm before buying.
yup.thanks bro jaeg for the lcd info, i was thinking of getting one too. got to 'fondle' a nice marshall at broadcast. btw..if the 5dmk2 were used in the ad, will it be safer for them to just conform to 30p rather than 24/25p? forgive my noobieness..
HD = Hyped Definition
off topic a bit....I've got clients asking to shoot in HD when they just wanted a 320x240 web video to put on their website! :thumbsup:
