Monitoring on Apple Cinema Display 23???

[martinnoweck]

Is this working anywhere? I´m failing on all my monitoring options except the RED lcd here:

RED HDMI -> DVI adaptor to Cinemadisplay 23: no signal, LED on the display blinks a few times.

RED preview out to HDSDI Black Magic Decklink HD Extreme (setting:HDTV 720p 50): no signal, some flicker, (Black Magic sw version 6.6.2)

RED HDMI -> Consumer HDMI 720 tv: no signal

(I know how to switch outputs on the RED.;-) (And I know that the consumer tv thing is not really working) (yet?)

All the best,

Jochen

jochen,
i had problems with the hdmi output all the time. sometimes it worked, sometimes not. was like voodoo ;-)

i was told to use the hd-sdi out and then convert hd-sdi to hdmi (short cable run)


regards,
martin

what's the difference between 720 and 1080p viewing from red? I just got the dell 23". i can see the everything but the menus. what view is that? and when i push the button on my Red LCD and it zooms in 1:1, the dell matches it. i'm not sure if i should be returning me dell if it's not giving me all the viewing options.

Not sure what you mean. If you're monitoring playback in 720, it's 1280x720 59.94. If you're viewing in 1080 it's 1920x1080 23.976 4:2:2 or if dual link 4:4:4. In order to see menus using the HDMI output, you need to select DVI in preferences.

i read it somewhere else on another post and it confused me. sorry about that.

how do i select dvi preferences? on the menu somewhere? i'll go take a look tonight then. thanks.

Under Monitor>Preview>Menus(DVI)

Just keep in mind if Red EVF and LCD are hooked up you won't get the 848P mode on HDMI.

Also, just to make sure there is no confusion, the 1080 output on playback also has the ability to play out other frame rates, such as 24, 25, and 29.97.

If you can afford a 30 inch CD from Apple it actually works from the HDMI with a simple HDMI->DVI converter. That is if you switch the preference in the camera to DVI and you get a slight crop on the menus at the bottom for some reason but the image fidelity is pretty good, even if it isn't a 1:1.
And yes that's me with the silly hat ;O)

Why isn't it 1:1? What is needed for 1:1?

The 30's resolution is 2560 x 1600. The Red outputs 720p live or 1080p on playback. 1:1 would be a small square in the center. not sure how you would set it, but honestly I'd love to see a 30" playing back even zoomed. It would be amazing and I would bet it would be far better for judging critical focus than a 17" pixel for pixel.

The Dell 30 inch has an HDMI input, so no converter needed. But man, a 30inch would be a hassle for location work. Probably looks great as a client monitor though.

coming to this thread rather late but hoping someone might have some more recent info.
I'm trying to monitor 1:1 on a mac with a decklink card and a 23" monitor.
through the SDI I can get a little preview in FCP log and capture but can't get it up to 720.
HDMI input doesn't seem to work at all and I don't have an HDMI>DVI converter handy (which from previous posts doesn't look like it works anyway).

any thoughts much appreciated.
