HDMI Not working on my camera?

[Mark Linthicum]

I just tried my HDMI out for the first time, hooked it up to my JVC HD display and set the output of the camera to HDMI, but the JVC says "out of range" where it usually says "1080p60", Anyone know what is up here? I had to use the HD-SDI out to get it to work, I was hoping to get a cheap consumer monitor for on set and they only have HDMI in so I would like to get it to work.

Any info would be appreciated.

try setting the camera to EFV & PVW - and then connect the HDMI out to monitor

Looks like it was not going to work but it finally kicked in!

Is this a bug?

Thanks, mark

It might have been a setting that wasn't checked like donatello suggested to do.

if it happens again call support and let us know. thanks

The HDMI output comes in two flavors either PVW or HDMI DVI. The PVW is 720p and any monitor should be able to handle that but that only shows you the frame and not all the menus and other info. For that you have to use a computer monitor that supports 1280x848 resolution and not all monitors support that.

I was testing a little bit one of the Red in a close by rental house. They had a LCD Panasonic monitor that the image in it was "jumpy" when I made a pan. They told me that this is due to the fact that the monitor was only 720P. Anybody knows is that affect will happen with the HDMI out too? Which monitor can they have for the director and for the client on commercials so the image will be smooth?

That jumping is probably because the image was being panned and captured by the camera at 24 fps, but the 720p standard is 60 fps. Therefore the output framestore in the camera has to add a 3:2 pulldown. (In effect the camera has a "telecine" function) You can't get rid of that - that's what the final product will look like on TV in either 720p or 1080i, and in fact the answer is to slow the pan down, as even if you did look at native 24 fps video it would be jumping as well - just with a different cadence.

And before anyone asks, yes this is the same as what happens with film.
