theibcdaily Lock in for HDMI camera ports LockCircle By David Fox
DSLRs typically have less than robust HDMI connections, which are easily pulled out or damaged. To counter this, LockCircle developed the LockPort, which protects the fragile output on the camera from abuse thanks to a solid universal clamp and a smart micro to full-size HDMI adapter (which allows you to use stronger standard cables). The full-size HDMI 90°
output can be used in the front or rear positions (there are two different adapters) to provide the best cable routing for the rig set up. It is already available for the Canon 5D and 7D, Nikon D 800 and Blackmagic Pocket cameras, and now the Sony A7S and Panasonic’s popular Lumix GH4 models have been added to the list. The camera plate takes seconds to fit, and costs e129. The LockPort GH4 weighs 100 grams, while the LockPort A7comes in at one hundred and twenty grams. 11.G35
Colour grading for on-board monitor SmallHD By David Fox
A realtime, on-camera colour grading system, designed to dial-in quick colour grades and provide users with a clear view of how the finished video will look, has been added to monitors from SmallHD. It is part of a free downloadable firmware upgrade V3.0, and ships with the new DP7-Pro on-camera monitors, and means that users don’t need additional hardware to see what the video will look like in post.
Making the grade: Editing a LUT on the SmallHD DP7-Pro on-camera monitor The graded video can be sent
downstream via HDMI or SDI to another monitor. It also allows importing 3D look up tables created on desktop colour grading software, and for modifying them on the DP7-Pro. The resultant grades can then be exported for use in post. “More and more cameras are
producing flat looking image profiles, which is better for post but have made it harder on shooters who need to instil confidence in clients and directors on set. We've changed all of that. The DP7-Pro colour grading system is a compact, low-cost way of giving a client or director an instant view of what the up-coming or just-finished take will look like coming out of
post,” said SmallHD co-founder and CEO Wes Phillips.
A further enhancement is the ability to overlay any JPEG image via SD card on top of live video using selectable transparency of the JPEG, to help shot match CG work or camera alignment for 3D rigs. The update also allows the DP7- Pro to capture nearly unlimited screen shots from the video feed, as a reference for continuity, shot composition, or for future overlay use. The 7-inch HD monitor is available in three versions: the DP7-Pro LCD (SB), DP7-Pro OLED and DP7-Pro High Bright (HB).
