Lo que encontró el hilo
- El monitor LCD Hummingbird 6.5 pulgadas ofrece un brillo y contraste significativamente mayor en comparación con Transvideo y los primeros monitores LCD MK-V, lo que lo hace más utilizable en las condiciones de luz solar al aire libre.
- El monitor realiza bien en los on-angles hasta que el sol crea reflejo directo en la pantalla, en cuyo punto la mayoría de los monitores experimenta problemas de visibilidad.
- El monitor original de Hummingbird presentó controles de menú basados en software en lugar de botones físicos para ajustes incluyendo color, contraste, tamaño y forma.
- A modified version developed for steadicam operators includes hardwired switches and knobs for frequently-used functions, reducing the need to navigate menus.
- The modified MK-V/Hummingbird version includes digital frame lines with multiple aspect ratios (4:3, 16:9, 2:1), center cross, border display, reverse scan, flip, and zoom functions.
- Built-in heaters allow operation in temperatures below minus ten degrees Celsius.
- The monitor is compatible with both NTSC and PAL standards and offers multiple mounting options.
- A frameline generator can be added as an accessory, and external frameline generators from other manufacturers can be attached separately.
- Pricing for the base Hummingbird monitor was approximately four thousand dollars, with a modified steadicam version at three and a half thousand dollars, roughly one-third the cost of professional green-screen monitors at that time.
