Cinetronic Gen 2 digital level features and HD monitor development plans
13 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- The digital level in the Cinetronic Gen 2 can be positioned anywhere on screen and offers multiple display modes including a bubble level appearance.
- The XCS TB7 monitor will be a true HD, SDI, HDMI, NTSC, and PAL standalone device with cross-conversion capabilities between 3G, 2K, HD, and SDI signals.
- The XCS HD PDL supports signal format conversion across over 70 digital video formats including various revisions of HDMI, 2K variants, PSF, progressive, interlaced, and analog NTSC and PAL signals.
- The level functionality in the XCS system is embedded in the monitor rather than requiring an external sensor board, making it usable across different displays.
- No true HD monitor screens existed under 9 inches at the time of this discussion, as all smaller displays downconvert incoming video signals according to SMPTE standards.
Depends on
- The release timeline mentioned in the discussion (late summer 2013, before year end) came from a 2013 forum post and may not have been met.
- Claims about the TB7 being a full 7-inch HD screen contradict established industry standards about minimum screen sizes for true 1920x1080 displays mentioned in the same thread.
- Technical specifications for brightness and exact capabilities were not fully detailed in the discussion.
