New Lilliput 7" HD Field Monitor

I got a surprise through the post today, it was the new Lilliput 7" HD Field Monitor, this one has great features including HDMI, YPbPr, composite and audio inputs, as well as audio monitoring which is handy. Here are some snaps from my play around today. [gallery ids="377,376,375,374,373,372,371,370,369,368,367"]

The colour reproduction, contrast and screen resolution is much better than the Camax model, yielding a more realistic picture. Still some functionality and operation issues to iron out but over all a great product out of the box!

I will be putting up a video soon, including filming in studio and on-location situations, as well as testing out the screen quality too, so keep updated, and if you have any questions just send them in!

I thought it was about time to sort out all of my equipment too, as I have them in bags and boxes all over the place, organization is rather important to avoid losing things! I got this great suitcase from The Olympic Broadcasting Service when I worked at the London 2012 Olympics, so I put my big camera bag, as well as my rig, batteries, and a BlackmagicDesign bag full of cables in it. Can't believe I lug this amount of kit around though! (Minus the Nikon in the little bag as that rarely sees the light of day :( ).

I talk to the senior project manager at NHK research about their developments into Super Hi-vision technology since the London 2012 Olympics. Great updates include their use of HEVC to compress the video signal down to 85Mbps!

Even though 4K is just about on the horizon for cameras and broadcasting, the Future Zone featured NHK's 8K technology!
