Re: [Avid-L2] Re: DX HDMI monitoring?

Save yourself several trips to costco and just buy your favorite
monitor along with the blackmagic hdlink converter which handles 24p.

Convert the DX HDSDI to DVI-D, then use a simple HDMI adaptor or DVI-D
to HDMI cable to get signal to the monitor.

It's only $495. AJA make a similar box.

Prior to this solution, I tested Samsung and Sony consumer monitors
that did not support 24fps even when they said they could.

The blackmagic also has lots of color 3D luts that you may find handy.
