The StarliteHD records video with adjustable compression settings that affect maximum clip length, with default compression allowing approximately 44 minutes of recording on a 4GB card
Recording is triggered automatically via SDI input on certain cinema cameras, though compatibility varies by model
The monitor can zoom for focus checking and includes peaking functionality
Firmware updates added color, brightness, and backlight adjustment controls
The device only accepts HD-SDI video input, not standard definition signals
Recorded clips are compressed primarily for viewing purposes rather than archival quality
Footage displays at 25p frame rate even when shooting 50i input, though firmware updates may address this

Recording quality is limited and suitable for monitoring purposes only, not production archival
SDI trigger recording was confirmed working with certain camera models but untested with others at the time of discussion
Only HD-SDI inputs are supported; standard definition signals require a separate converter
Custom compression profiles can be created but must be loaded manually via computer
Frame rate display behavior with interlaced input was not fully resolved at time of discussion
