the entire workflow. CLIPSTER has enough intrinsic power to accept
material from cameras, telecines or VTRs at any data rate. Uncompressed HD
and 2K data are input via the standard dual link HD-SDI interface.

Panasonic: BT-LH900 LCD monitor – a
controlling tool for the cameraman
The Panasonic BT-LH900 LCD
monitor greatly simplifies HD and SD monitoring on location or on a sound
stage. With its slim 2.5” profile and light 4.4lbs weight, the HD/SD

or RGBS) and one composite input. The new Video/CineGamma Conversion Table
and built-in waveform monitor function support HD production when using the

side-by-side rack mounting (optional) and equipped with both DC input and
AntonBauer Gold Mount, the BT-LH900 brings the same high level of performance
and convenience to OB vans and studio/control rooms. For monitor rack
applications, up to 99 units can be controlled from and external PC via
RS-232C and GPI controls. The 170-degree viewing angle, both horizontally and
vertically provides for high-brightness, high-contrast viewing that minimizes
color variation and ensures sharp images.
