ERG Intros Outdoor HD LCD Monitors
June 01, 2004
Tokyo, Japan - ERG Ventures has introduced portable LCD monitors designed for outdoor use, supporting widescreen and normal aspect ratio picture displays.
The HDM-EV30D (pictured) is a compact, six inch LCD monitor, with two systems of video input, HDSDI and analog HDTV or SDTV. The active LCD area has a 960 x 540 resolution, and can display 16.77 million colors by having 8 bits per RGB.
Because of its resolution, the HDM-EV-30D can naturally display its images when receiving signals from the HDTV 1080, the manufacturer describes. The HDM-EV35D is similar to the HDM-EV30D, except its analog components(from the HDM-EV30D) have been taken out. Comparatively, the HDM-EV35D is 9mm deeper, and is 300 grams lighter than its earlier model(the HDM-EV30D).
Other features of the monitors include:
- Large-size tally signal light: Placed on the frontal upper region of the monitor, with a large light for easy viewing.
- Color Temperature Controls: 6500K and 9300K. The user may easily change the color temperature.
- A wide variety of marker indicators: Center and framing markers that indicates screen size (four types of TVs, two types of film), a sliding marker which can be placed anywhere, and a safety marker which indicates the safety area. These markers appear on the upper region of the screen, and help frame the range of the shooting area.
- Aspect ratio function: When images are recorded using a lens that optically expands or contracts, the recorded digital image is also distorted, and cannot be displayed correctly on an ordinary monitor. The HDM-EV30D uses the aspect ratio function to correctly display the recorded original image.
- Masking function: This function has similar uses as the framing marker mentioned above, but this function can mask out the region outside of the image area with a 4 x 3 or 16 x 9 ratio.
- Gamma Correction: The HDM-EV30D uses its gamma correction function, and can lighten the image so that it facilitates the monitoring process.
- Peaking Indicator: This function facilitates focusing when shooting.
- Screen Capture/Picture Freezing: This function freezes the screen temporarily.
The HDM-EV30D has a base price of $5,600 USD; the HDM-EV35D is $5,200.
