Re: [Avid-L2] Making room for the Blackmagic Smartview 4K

 

I'd love to hear what that looks like from the IBC floor.  I have smart view 17- and the color is very funky- its really only good for making sure there's a picture.  The 5" on my black magic camera is more accurate!  I'm mostly a fan of BM stuff, love resolve and my (multiple) camerasp, but I even sent back the smartview under warranty thinking mine was just defective - and the replacement was actually more ugly.  It's worth pretty much what it cost.  

The idea that the UHD monitor can accept luts and has a blue-check function is promising.

Just been looking at Blackmagic's new 'broadcast' monitor, the Smartview 4K.

Looking at the specs, there seems to be no mention of any calibration procedure/hardware/software, so that rules it out for any serious grading work, although it might make a good client monitor. There's also a claim that HD upscaling to 3840x2160 using their Pixelmotion algorithms is 'visually transparent, artifact free scaling'  - something I have to see.
But is it really 482 inches wide?? Sounds like a re-run of the metric/imperial fiasco of the Mars climate orbiter again!
