enny Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Hi guys looking to buy Aputure V-Screen 2 that i will use with BMCC since this monitor is HDM and using a converter box since BM does not have hdm would there be any issues with resolution. I am not looking for pro and color accuracy just anamorphic viewing or cropping and focusing. Wondering if it will work in raw mode.

NX1user Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 When you add in the cost of a decent HDMI-SDI converter, you should instead consider just buying a monitor with SDI. Aputure now makes one: http://aputure.com/en/VS-5.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enny Posted September 11, 2016 Author Share Posted September 11, 2016 I really dont want to spend 500 i am just looking for focusing zoom in zoom out and framing and specially when shooting anamorphic. I think vs is good enough for me but it comes with so many options but no sdi only hdmi but 10 dollars ebay sdi to hdmi converter takes care of that i just know if you loose resolution when using hdmi to sdi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRenaissanceMan Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Not sure how well that converter is going to do for you, as I've never used one. But I do own a VS-2, and love it. It's not color/contrast accurate, but it's big and sharp and affordable, and offers all the necessary focus/exposure tools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand My bad, I thought they were around $150. On 9/11/2016 at 6:29 AM, enny said: VS2 is it sdi or hdmi Expand HDMI In only. No HDMI out, no SDI at all, but it less than $300. It's a little contrasty, but the focus peaking seems as accurate as the NX1 and the false color sure is handy. TheRenaissanceMan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsenroc Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 I forgot whether VS2-HD can handle 1080p 60fps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRenaissanceMan Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Yes sir, that's the max it can handle. And I second NX1user's comments. The screen is a bit too contrasty, but the peaking and false color are incredibly useful. Hell, the size and resolution alone make focusing a breeze.
