Wireless HD monitoring kit selection and monitor mounting considerations for video production
13 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- Paralinx Arrow wireless transmitter operates outside the crowded 2.4GHz range, reducing interference compared to CamWave systems.
- Marshall V-LCD70MD monitor can be equipped with an AB battery plate by custom-mounting an intermediate aluminum spacer to provide clearance for SDI connectors.
- Marshall V-LCD70MD comes with full-size HDMI connectors, not mini-HDMI.
- Marshall V-LCD70MD includes a headphone jack, allowing production mixers to monitor video feed separately without requiring additional wireless systems.
- Marshall V-LCD70MD with SDI loop-through module can accept signals from either Paralinx Arrow or Teradek Bolt receivers.
- AB battery plates listed for 9-inch Marshall monitors fit 7-inch models but require machining to avoid blocking SDI input connectors when using Anton Bauer batteries.
Depends on
- Experience limited to specific concert video production scenario.
- Cross-conversion capability between HDMI input and SDI output on Marshall V-LCD70MD remained untested in this thread.
- Brightness advantage of 800 nits over 400 nits for outdoor use was questioned as potentially unnecessary when using hoods in direct sunlight.
- AB plate mounting solution required custom fabrication and may vary by battery model and connector configuration.
