cine-tal broadcast monitor for Flame

[Anonymous]

Does anyone here a have any experience with the 24″ cine-tal cinemage 2142 monitor for use with Flame as your Flame broadcast monitor? we are purchasing a new Flame system and with sony DVM CRTs being discontinued and the new Sony DVM LCDs not being available for a little while is the cine-tal cinemage 2142 the next best and or better option. I have found a really good deal on one and wondering if i should pull the trigger and buy it.

Thanks in advance for any opinions.

Forgot to mention that we mainly will be doing music video and commercial work. not film so much, but maybe some.

Hi,

… the only (though possibly important) drawback is, that (to my knowledge) it cant display fields (interlaced), but just behaves like your graphics monitor.
this can be a killer, if your clients want to have interlaced deliveries …

i talked with a few people at NAB about these new LCD broadcast displays and found that if you are mainly doing NTSC you should not get a LCD display of any kind.
They all seem to have a bad time scaling down to NTSC. So if I were you (and I am I have a sony that just went to crap) I would bet a used Sony BVM. Or a new one, they are out there.

thanks for the help. To be honest I love the BVM crts and at this point i agree that they are still the best option. I feel confident that i am getting the true color and field playback from them.
