PREFACE: No arguing or debating, just fact finding.
As I was reading yet another "comparison" of cameras article, it dawned on me: How are those of you who own HDV cameras monitoring your video during color correction, for example? I'm not talking about computer monitors, I'm talking about external, broadcast-type monitors.
The "cheapest" monitor I found (there may be some less expensive) was the Sony BVM-D14H1U 14-Inch 16:9 Widescreen Broadcast Monitor. Problem is it's only 800 lines. The "optional" HD board is another $3,200 making the grand total $8,200.
The camera, let's jump to the top, the Sony HVR-Z1U is $4,900, so that brings the total to $13,100 (excluding shipping). Then there is CineForm Connect HD for Vegas, that's another measley $150. That makes it $13,250. So now I'm wondering what else does one need to round out the kit for shooting in and delivering HDV and what are the costs of the other necessaries?
Just planning ahead for the inevitable. Thanks!
