| TVLogic VFM-056W review |
 The role of the past, monitor the field shooting the drama dialogue between the director and cinematographer has been largely used as conduits. Want to express the director's actor, and the subsequent circulation or to express an aesthetic angle to determine the color of the image had been mainly for the role will look. In the days of analog cameras with ENG most dramatic scene in a small CRT monitor, the monitor was designed to, quality, technology, domestic support was in the days of almost zero. ENG outdoors for most of the Sony Trinitron monitor (Trinitron) monitor, respectively. CRT products include small, but with the best products at the time, PVM series monitors follow the colors of the time, that I could not remember.   At the time of the battery can be mounted so that the small domestic television, but in extreme conditions endured several long naelmanhan monitor, nor the exact color of the camera, captured images of the entire screen and can be represented by separate ON AIR-screen performance The product was difficult to see. PVM series are still broadcast in SD or airtime is being used in production, the PVM model, I have been using a stand for an SD monitor. Trinitron monitor the early days of the release of a small HD, but now ceased production of CRT, Sony Trinitron brands are disappearing into history. Now, over the LCD LED, OLED, and an era of rapidly evolving into an era of 3D is going.  At the start of digital broadcasting and HD broadcast CRT weighs much heavier than the SD was based OT, SD, unlike HD recording in the field to focus more accurately identify a large monitor is necessary. CRT monitor to fulfill this condition as well as the increase in field personnel management is not easy to use in this field is bound to greater burden. So of course the scene but a big screen LCD monitor is lightweight and began to launch such products. And still the best show chochanggina moniteoran can accurately represent gradation and saturation is a product, the technology is almost close to that goal. Evaluation of the fact that the monitor through a variety of equipment to be tested because I have a discretionary power is evident be impossible. Therefore, the monitor's color reproduction or to possess the ability to monitor gamma and other AV professionals for a minute to review them to leave, and I monitor the performance of the various kinds will be only an introduction to and evaluation. Looking at the menu you'll see, many functions are supported. Although all of the features you need, shooting-related functions will look in a very subjective point. Key Features VFM-056W monitor supports a resolution of 1280x800, while the weight is only 0.3kg. If you think your existing monitor really is a big surprise ~ 'is right, the interjection of itself. LVM-071W 7 inch monitor, but the body weight was 1.35kg lighter than 1kg compared to what is was made. In addition, Li-ion battery can be used is the viscosity welcome. Of course, some other small monitor with a small battery to reduce weight, but with a VFM-056W power consumption in battery will show many differences.   BP on LVM-071W battery to bypass the weight of the weight of the DSLR, LVM-071W and VFM-056W can tell the difference when compared.  VFM-056W throughout the review period, BP-F970 battery alone was capable of review. It's such a long time, write down the amount of spent batteries can be taken advantage of and has given less weight because there was more able to take lightly. Unfortunately, for a little bit inside the pen is sure to cool the heat a little bit of flying and extremely worried about the summer despite what the magazine really fine, 60 degrees, -20 degrees images so that you can use this portion of the trust TVLogic better seems to be. Extensive input terminals once again want to bring praise, and analog composite (Composite) jacks as well as the component (Component) and HD-SDI, 3G-SDI, HDMI and supports many terminals. 1. Each Part Name   1) PGM (MINI HDMI) Tools made from TVLogic (Tool) by a firmware update or produced by our color calibration tools to calibrate your monitor's color temperature is used. 2) AUDIO OUT (Phone Jack) Remove the input signal from the audio signal through the Phone Jack gives prints stereos. HDMI on a DSLR through issues standby time points for recording when the audio output does not, in the current release of Canon cameras can not see the audio when shooting point is a big disadvantage. Could not take advantage of this feature properly excited about it. 3) ENCODER Knob Knob turning up or down the Up / Down function and, Knob Press Enter to perform the function. If the main menu is activated, the main menu and sub menu choices and moving up or down, setting the mode to increase or decrease the setting. If the main menu is disabled, Knob Press Brightness / Contrast / Chroma / Aperture / Volume can be adjusted, Pixel to Pixel mode, the screen display of the original signal from the input clock / counter-clockwise motion. Luma (Y ') Zone Check mode settings can be adjusted, Knob and the main menu and submenus can be selected.   4) FUNCTION / FUNCTION Select (Select) button If you press the button for 2 seconds or less, do the assigned FUNCTION and press and hold button for 2 seconds or more Function Select menu is activated (Scan, Aspect, HV Delay, etc.). Press and hold button for 2 seconds or more before being selected for the FUNCTION display to switch to a different function is selected by moving ENCODER Knob. Function Select an item from the main menu items can be set to SYSTEM. I just read global company plans to operate a complex but easy to adapt yourself, so do not be too worried about.   5) MENU EXIT SOURCE button Button briefly to less than 2 seconds if you press to activate the main OSD menu. OSD menu, OSD menu in the top sub-rotate, press the Enter button to select more than 2 seconds will activate the menu (SDI, HDMI, CVBS, S-Video, Component Video). To switch to another type ENCODER Knob should choose to go to.   6) SDI-IN (BNC) SD / HD SDI input signal is used.  7) SDI-OUT (BNC) The biggest advantage of this monitor, SDI-OUT connector on the SDI video signal coming through the HDMI output in addition to the DSLR camera for video as the output of the converter can be up to me. Until now, look at DSLR is shooting a drama directed by shooting in addition to the monitor using the monitor for a better coach you need to use a converter using the existing HDMI-SDI output should come to the distribution had been able to simplify things. The fact that this part of the field have felt the most uncomfortable part of technologies considered because it was a really welcome in the afternoon, during which several additional equipment should be used to solve for the temporary inconvenience in that it is grateful. Additional equipment is always more difficult because of lack of field personnel for the additional investment in equipment and to ease the stress in the field will play a big role I think. 8) HDMI DSLR video or HDMI output support output from a compact camera's video and audio signals are used to enter. The home office recently released a camera or cameras, most digital output through HDMI support.Digital output via HD-SDI terminal does not support broadcasting, it is difficult to use a small monitor lt, but even now most of the HDMI port supported by the monitor becoming more sophisticated shooting was possible. 9) CVBS / Y (RCA) Keonpojiteu (Composite) and keonponeonteu (Component) Y signal input terminal. Be connected to an analog SD signal is the terminal. 10) Pb (RCA) Keonpeoneonteu (Component) Pb signal input terminals are connected. 11) Pr (RCA) Keonponeonteu (Component) Pr signal input terminals are connected.  12) DC IN DC 12V DC power input jack as possible. When mounted directly to the battery using danjada. Replace the batteries according to the mount can be equipped with different types of batteries together, if you think the weight rather than mount a small battery for BP Lyon battery bracket to mount the monitor's characteristics would seem to be well-animated.  13) TALLY / BATTERY (XLR 4P) TALLY signal IN / OUT and the battery power input. When you enter DC 12V external power or battery as the camera work becomes possible. Use of the terminal under the recently released immediately, using BP battery can supply power to the monitor are able, in that it can take a little more lightly used is if. TALLY Swansea, Sheffield and the linkage seems to be utilized at the time of the shooting. Of course, TALLY function to support the existing deuleseodo've been monitoring, but not so special, so just to be supported at a small monitor TVLogic can feel is part of the technology.   2. Menu From now on the menu for the position of director of photography and I'll try to talk about only what you need. The details when buying this product because the reference manual and wishing well documented, from the perspective of your needs and utilization in the field will describe the higher menus. This part is actually a little sad part, the menu was not localized point cut to the next little bit more improvement. Of course, localized to the hard part will be, in English, which had used the products for professional users than its parts can be confusing, but I made the domestic product, which I guess as long as localized.  1) Picture Shooting in the small role of the monitor to determine the exact color of the eyes than the director of photography captured images in a familiar setting for the approximate representation of the color and because it recognized cinematographer cinematographer before shooting just the right set of eyes should make its standards should not be changed. Director of photography of the criteria for a long time experience of coming from the part, but colors and brightness of each station every strict man there, and this manual is based on precise criteria set to be, and these standards environment changes continuously according to must be modified in the field. Depending on the brightness of the monitor portion of the surrounding environment are modified, when day and night, indoors and outdoors, the sun in the shade under the monitor brightness and the time you will need to adjust depending on the situation. At this point, depending on the adjustment is changed saeknongdodo, then adjust the value of each year according to the criteria and standards in the field to adjust your monitor has a color bar.  * Brightness: brightness of the screen (Offset) set to display the figures, the setting range is -100 to 100. Adjust Brightness control, including the most sides of the monitor, press the Knob is a adjustment. * Contrast: Contrast of the screen (Gain) can establish the value, setting range is -100 to 100. * Chroma: saturation of the screen (Saturation) can be set up, setting range is -50 to 50. * Phase: The screen color (Hue) to set up and the setting range is from -40 to 40. * Aperture: clarity of the screen (Sharpness) menu to set the levels. The setting range is -12 to 12. * NTSC Setup: NTSC Black Level setting of 0 (zero setup), or choose from the 7.5 IRE, and this item Composite 1/2/3 and S-VIDEO mode only when the input from the NTSC signal is activated. * Knob Lock: monitor aspects of the Knob (APERTURE, BRIGHT, CHROMA, CONTRAST, VOLUME) does not work is the ability to secure. A feature that prevents accidental seems to malfunction. 2) Color  * Color Temp.: The screen is a menu to set the color temperature, color temperature setting and apply the data value was previously set color temperature, Selectable color temperature 3200K, 5600K, 6500K, 9300K, User 1/2/3 is. The lower the color temperature of the display screen is a warm, cold, color temperature, the higher the mark, because when you are setting the standards for. 3) Marker  * Marker Enable: ON marker behavior you want to do, OFF is to decide whether to do. * Marker Type: You can select the type of marker, the marker type OFF, 16:9, 4:3, 4:3 ON AIR, 15:9, 14:9, 13:9, 1.85:1, 2.35:1 , 1.85:1 & 4:3, USER Marker can be selected. The current broadcasting environment in South Korea until a full digital conversion of the 16:9 and 4:3, as should be sending. To illustrate both the full 16:9 screen 4:3 TV in letterbox format to be watching, 4:3 analog CRT TV daeyigo the maximum screen size is 30 inches, most of the viewing environment is smaller than 30 inches TV If viewed in the letterbox format with the subtitles it's hard to include problems will occur. So from 15:09 or 14:09 aspect ratio, is a 13:09 aspect ratio, such as. Recently released, this aspect of the business camera can display markers at the time of the shooting and shooting, but considering the truncated screen, DSLR feature in the case of these markers is not well established. Ten thousand days to 4:03 left, cut right to the screen by holding the radiator to be difficult and very difficult to shoot it's not even 4:03, the truncated top and bottom of the screen, so you may use 4:3 ON AIR, which In that sense, is a feature very useful. * Center Marker: Center marker ON, OFF can choose whether you want to do. * Safety Area: overscan and not being truncated by the subtitle indicates the safe area. Select the size of available area 80%, 85%, 88%, 90%, 93%, 100%, EBU ACTION 16:9, EBU GRAPHIC 16:9, EBU ACTION 14:9, EBU GRAPHIC 14:9, EBU ACTION 4 : 3, EBU GRAPHIC 4:3 is. HDTV is now available in full-screen mode, as we often think ON AIR is wider than the area can see the screen because it is a lot more thought will have to get angles. In analogue broadcasting environment, the fact that this problem only for ON AIR aenggeulman When shooting was something that, due to excessive size of the screen currently considering several ways to be taken so far there has been inconvenience. In the case of terrestrial digital broadcasting in Japan as a 16:09 transmission and analog broadcasting into a 4:3 letterbox and unity are both. This is a relatively small screen to watch analog TV viewers to quickly change to digital TV equipment is being conducted induction seems to mean that. Advantages and disadvantages, but if the director of photography perspective, perhaps a little more unity aspect ratio for digital broadcasting, as a good angle to shoot because you get less stress on the aspect ratio would think. * Fit Marker: MARKER menu type is selected when the marker, SAFETY AREA, not the entire screen of the boundary markers are marked on the inside area, FIT MARKER ON / OFF according to the following acts.   * Marker Mat: the outer portion of the zone marker on the screen is used to darken. The adjustment range is OFF (transparent) to 7 (black) is up, a higher value becomes more dense. 16:9 to 16:9 recording, but editing and transmission of the image around when not in use to ignore even when shooting with the ability to use, now that those features may not mean much. The video we shot everything with a broadcast transmission is not finished. What has been the source of the video for a period two if the recorded video and keep it in the future that may be used will youngsangin. By now been expanded to keep the horizontal aspect ratio is 1.85:1 aspect ratio than the current HD will be broad. In that sense, now broadcasting in SD and 4:3 shooting two things that I do not think. * Marker Color: The color of the marker is the ability to select, choice of colors white, gray, black, red, green and blue. * Marker Thickness: You can select the thickness of the markers, adjust the range of pixels (Pixel) units are available up to 1-7. 4) Display / Video  * Scan: Knob and turn down the Zero Scan -> Over Scan -> Pixel-To-Pixel -> User Aspect mode change of the order. USER ASPECT across the users (Width), Vertical (Height) by adjusting the screen size you want, you can adjust the screen ratio, which, unless a special use in the field USER ASPECT not much work. * Aspect: 16:9 aspect ratio of the input signal is fixed at 16:9, 16:9 for the 4:3 full screen look stretched because if you see her left side, press and hold the normal 4:3 screen made of given. * H / V Delay: H Sync and V Sync Delay the Blank is the ability to monitor the route. * Blue Only: Off-Blue Only-Mono-Off in order to operate, press the button, except for red and green and blue signals by a video signal is displayed on the screen only. Press again to color (Chroma) to completely remove the black and white images to show up on the screen, Blue Only the color that is used when setting up your monitor. * Pixel To Pixel Position: SCAN mode, the Pixel-To-Pixel is set to operate when. Monitor Resolution (1280 × 800) resolution video signal is greater than for the year (eg: 1920 × 1080) Pixel to Pixel mode of the 1920 × 1080 1280 × 800 full screen only shows a portion of is a function. This feature can shoot 1920 × 1080 camera with digital zoom function in the utilization as possible but can be utilized correctly set the focus seems to be the idea. Directly to the camera zoom-ins without having to enlarge a small monitor, because it shows a bit of a disadvantage is that it is the ability to compensate. * 3G Format: VFM-056WP Only feature lacking in the VFM-056W is a feature. SDI 3G A / B to support the input of FORMAT (NORMAL MODE, A 444 10BIT_YCbCr, A 444, 10BIT_RGB, A 444 12BIT_YCbCr, A 444 12BIT_ RGB, A 422 12BIT_YCbCr, B 444 10/12BIT_YCbCr, B 444 10/12BIT_RGB, B 422 12BIT_YCbCr, B 422 10BIT_YCbCr, 60P) If you choose supports the FORMAT, NORMAL MODE is Payload signal is that it automatically recognizes the signal. Could not be tested directly. * Focus Assist: The focus of the camera is right on the screen part of the contour (or boundary) as part of a feature color display, which part of the image in focus, whether that right can be easily distinguished. The advantages of DSLR when you're in the shallow, the shallow depth of the more sensitive was the director of photography is to focus that. This feature of the existing business, but the camera, DSLR cameras and such assistance, the utilization is not currently in a high functionality, so the resulting stress is enormous cinematographer. However, this feature also seems to be turning a sigh. * Focus Assist Color: The color can set the red, green, blue's, white business ENG cameras are used mainly. In the case of white used mainly black and white viewfinder, and it is called peaking. Byupaindeoeseodo white color to use, but sometimes a lot of confusion when I use the red by the setting. Red in the human perception is not wrong because if saekyigi rare, dressed in red if the confusion comes, because there is no problem in other parts of the color is recommended.   From the top of Marker OFF, Marker ON  
* Focus Assist Level: video portion of the boundary can be set to the value of the difference, adjustable range is 0-100, a higher value boundary check to a small portion of the difference becomes possible. 90% were tested, FOCUS ASSIST mode operation is to be set to ON. * Image Mirror (Hor.): Enter the screen can be influenced by inverting the output, in this case is the reverse of the OSD menu screen.  * Zoom: to enlarge the screen is the ability to view, depending on the resolution of input images can be expanded up to 90%. Digital zoom function in a sense. * Zoom Width Scroll: Knob of the Up / Down to the enlarged screen can be moved from side to side. * Zoom Height Scroll: Knob of the Up / Down to move up and down the screen is magnified.    * DSLR SCALE: Canon DSLR cameras with specific features, Live View / Record / Play Back mode, the input of the monitor screen automatically fill up the entire screen is a feature Full Scale. The problem with some of the Canon DSLR features specifically designed to complement to that, Canon DSLR work resolution of the HDMI output Stand By, Record, Play Back vary depending on the resolution. Stand By mode is that the 1080i HD resolution, but it's real accurate because the correct output resolution of 1620x1080 16:9 aspect ratio is not implemented on the monitor screen will cause the left and right margins. At this time of the DSLR SCALE VFM-056W feature activates a full screen 1620x1080 screen shows a full tank, Canon 5D Mark II, the Record mode, SD resolutions (480p level) to output, this also, but the actual output of SD ragoneun resolution of the output is 640x390, not 720x480. VFM-056W features of the DSLR SCALE activates the monitor output resolution of 640 × 390 resolution panel (1280 × 800) for scaling, because it shows on the screen fills up, the focus is very helpful to confirm. Of course, the same as the digital zoom feature, TVLogic scaling up of technology gives us a little more clearer. Without this feature should be changed every aspect relieved a little bit uncomfortable.   5) Waveform / Level Check  * Waveform / Vector: waveform and vector scope function sequence of actions can be set Off, Waveform Y, Waveform Cb, Waveform Cr, Vectorscope in order to operate, the position is represented in the lower right. * VECTOR: chrominance component of the input signal B'-Y ', R'-Y' elements on the phase detector to display the XY axis, HD and SD input Vectorscope two kinds depending on the input is displayed, a screen 100 % and 75% scale is displayed.    * Wave Form YCbCr: input signal of the luminance and color signals Cb / Cr components of each output waveform.    From the top of Wave Form Y, the brightness of the input signal component (Y, LUMA) gives the waveform prints. Wave Form Cb / Cr, the input signal of the chrominance components (Cb / Cr) and prints the given waveform. * Waveform Intensity: WAVEFORM / VECTOR item selected in the brightness of the waveform can be set. The adjustment range is 1-63 and ends, the number increases, the output waveform will be brighter. * Waveform Trans: Waveform / Vector selected in the waveform or vector scope, you can set the transparency. Setting the Opacity (Opaque) and translucent (Blend), has two. If you set the transparency of opaque waveform output waveform is obscuring two weeks automatically translucent Menu bar and main menu window disappears, or the output waveform does not cover two weeks of Menu bar automatically becomes opaque. * Waveform Size: WAVEFOR / VECTORY of the selected waveform or vector scope, you can set the size and setting common (Small) and extended (Large) mode. * Luma (Y ') Zone Check: Enter the picture brightness signal (Luma, Y') to analyze the function for displaying the selected area is on the screen, each pixel (Pixel) of the Y 'the right of the screen index (Index) to Guess the colors change. Of Pixel Y 'level of 0% (16) below the green, 100% (235) and above are displayed in red, between 0-100% Y' Luma Zone, except for the level selected will be displayed in Gray Level, Luma (Y ') Zone, select the appropriate range for the yellow (10%), pink (5%), blue (10%) will be displayed. Base Y 'is set at 70% level, two features, such as the skin tone of a particular color to shoot accurately when setting exposure and lighting seem to be convenient to use.   * Luma (Y ') Zone Adjust: Knob turning yellow, pink, light blue zone can be set to your preferred area, setting area is from 0 to 100%.  * Range Error: The video signal input to monitor the brightness and color information after analyzing the information, beyond the minimum and maximum set by the user when receiving signals, the signal flashes went enables pixel. Users do not want that level of the incoming signal in real time, tells you, they want to set exposure, is to help maintain a menu.   6) Audio  * Audio Volume: internal speakers and the rear of the monitor output through the AUDIO OUT terminal can adjust the volume together, to adjust the range is 0-30. * Audio Level Meter: Embedded audio can be set up for the Level Meter, set the mode based on a 16-channel output OFF, 16CH (HOR.), 16CH (VER.) mode. 16CH (HOR): upper left corner of the screen like the image below in the 8-channel, 8 channels in the upper right is represented by the horizontal.  16CH (VER): on the left of the screen like the image below in the middle of eight channels, eight channels right in the middle is a vertical expression.  SDI input: Off-16CH (Hor)-16CH (Ver) HDMI inputs: Off-2CH (Hor)-2CH (Ver) * Level Meter Display: audio level meter can be set to be displayed, set the mode pairs (PAIR), group (GROUP) mode and, SDI input only works. * Level Meter Reference: audio level meter displays the reference value. Setting-18dB,-20dB to, and setting up the audio level meter is displayed in the color green. Exceed the portion that is displayed in yellow,-4dB more future is marked in red. * Level Meter Size: The size of the audio level meter can be set up, setting the normal (NORMAL), zoom (LARGE) mode. * Level Meter Decay Time: Show the location of the audio signal portion of the reduction of the maximum you can set the time. The adjustment range is 0-100, where higher the value, the maximum reduction in the visible part is a long time. 7) System  * System Default: 모니터의 설정을 공장 출하 시의 기본값으로 초기화 해준다. 사실 이 디폴트값이 제대로 설정이 되어 있다면, 따로 모니터를 세팅 할 이유가 없게 된다. 이 디폴트 값은 제조사마다 다르고, 모니터마다 다른 경우가 생기는데, 이 격차를 줄이는 것이 곧 기술력이라고 보면 된다. * Back Light: 현재의 백라이트 값을 표시한다. Set Default 시 공장 출하(색보정 시) 값으로 다시 환원되며, 설정범위는 0~50까지 이다. * FUNC. Key Mapping: 모니터 후면의 Func. 버튼에 기능을 할당할 수 있는데, 선택할 수 있는 기능은 Scan, Aspect, Marker, H/V Delay, Blue Only, Max Bright, Zoom, Time Code, Audio Level M., Wave Form, Focus Assist, Range Error, Luma Check, DSLR SCALE을 선택할 수 있다. 위의 기능은 모니터 후면의 FUNC./UNC. SEL. 버튼을 2초 이상 눌러 기능을 선택할 수 있다.   * HDMI To SDI Throughout: 앞에서도 언급을 했던 HDMI 입력을 SDI Throuout 단자를 통해 출력할 수 있게 된다. HDMI 입력은 59.94i/p 입력만 지원하며, SDI 출력 포맷은 1280x720 59.94p 고정 포맷으로 출력하게 된다. 사실 5D MARK II의 경우, 1080/30p나 24p로 촬영을 한다고 해도 1080/59.94i로 출력하기 때문에 720/59.94p와는 별 차이를 느끼지 못할 것이다. 이 SDI 출력은 VFM-056WP에서 모니터링 할 수 있는 그대로 출력이 되며, 메뉴를 온 스크린 시킨다면, SDI로 출력된 신호에도 똑같이 메뉴가 출력이 된다.  VFM-056WP as seen in the output via HD-SDI video monitor as the others are shown. Fatter gives the size change, or even both markers displayed the same output, but because it is convenient viscosity, FOCUS ASSIST function ON, if a state might seem a little uncomfortable.   3. Enough VFM-056W specialized products for the DSLR, but perhaps a small monitor, which allows the camera to be used eseona It is natural that. This monitor also business camera accessory shoe can be mounted, so until now because of cost HD monitor using the failed SD monitors had to use those, if they have quality and clarity from the excellent VFM-056W Upgrading to also be better idea.   
    LCD protective filter is a lightweight and secure, but, according to my experience of flying plastic nature of Kyrgyzstan disadvantage because a lot of glass as an option, as the thought is I'd like to sell. Like the iPhone, while reducing the weight a little more technically strong to be able to use the glass to scratch without having to worry that I might not be thought about.  I 'VFM-056W is a little bit earlier and had been the release of the' round the idea was to review. Of course, even now gave me the thought that somewhere, but it was still in the middle of shooting DSLR last year probably if released, would have been a great hit, there is a sadness. In the scene, armed with powerful features necessary to VFM-056W as did everyone else TVLogic monitor hope to use the monitor.
