Was die Diskussion ergab
- Der Monitor hatte anfangs Firmware-Probleme mit der Signalerkennung des progressiven segmentierten Rahmens (PsF), insbesondere mit 720p 24PsF, was kein gültiger SMPTE-Standard ist, obwohl 1080p 24PsF als akzeptabel angegeben wurde.
- Some units experienced overheating problems that were addressed through a hardware retrofit offered by the manufacturer.
- Touch button sensitivity was initially too high, responding to hovering fingers without contact, which was addressed in firmware updates.
- The monitor did not retain frameline and touchpad backlight settings after power-off until a July 2013 firmware update resolved this.
- Tally input detection required modification when using photosensor tally systems, as the input was designed to accept a 2-24V range and needed a resistor added for simple photosensor setups.
- Anton Bauer battery plates could backfeed power through the 8-pin LEMO connector, requiring a diode modification inside the monitor.
- Firmware installation was initially limited to Windows systems only, with Mac and Linux users able to use virtualization software as a workaround.
- Some users reported image freezing and random input switching that improved after receiving heat sink upgrades and touch panel replacements.
- Ghosting artifacts were observed in the picture output, potentially related to 60Hz and 50Hz differences, though the cause remained unclear.
- The monitor did not reliably accept PsF signals from certain professional cameras like the Sony F65 and Alexa, despite accepting P signals from the same cameras.
Hängt ab von
- Testing was limited mostly to theoretical validation rather than comprehensive field testing with actual cinema cameras.
- The PsF detection issue remained unresolved despite manufacturer claims of SMPTE compliance, with conflicting reports about 1080p PsF compatibility.
- Early firmware versions had significant stability issues that were only partially resolved through updates.
- Mac and Linux users faced barriers to updating firmware without access to Windows systems.
- The digital level accessory was not yet completed and functional during the discussion period, limiting the monitor's standalone usability.
- Some issues like ghosting artifacts had unclear root causes and no definitive solutions were established.
