Whats the best CRT to use for video production? Do I need a HDMI to SDI converter, how do I make sure SDI Cables r clean?

These were the poo poo back in the day:

BVM-DE24E1WE


But they are discontinued, and only display rec.709 primaries, and rec.2020 is the new hotness

Dolby digital calls for dynamic range normalization in smaller, non-full range speakers. VLC doesn't do this they just let you 200% distort the audio lol

this is done in the decoder. vlc follows dolby's recommendation that it's enabled by default and there is a checkbox in the options menu to turn it off

lol like im going to trust some linux nerds implementation of a thing they hardly understand over the hundreds of engineering years experience folks at dolby put into their range normalization.

Also mastering houses have the boxes with dolbys math on it so they can master it to sound good there too.

nobody is checking their mix to see if 200% volume sounds crunchy enough

You could just turn the VLC volume up to 100% instead then use your Bose home entertainment system to really crank those mids you desire.

so swim uinstalled vlc and tried to use media player. it is indeed really good.

it asked swim if swim want to change settings, being the suave computer touching goon swim is, of course swim loves loving with settings almost as much as swim loves engaging with brands and cuming in computers


ok now swim definitely want microsoft to steal swim's hosed up porn searches involving overwatch and low T heavys like themself. infact steve balmer is such a swell guy they will even help use their computer as a torrent server ot distribute media player updates


success! now i can load matrix 1999 directors cut.mkv w/ japanese subtitles


ok swim spent 5 mintues reading the manual and googling how to load a video since there isn't any file - play. apparently swim found out u just need to drag it into the playlist panel on the right. ez pz


success!!

just ask warner for a master in prores.

I am thinking of getting a up3017 cause its like the only 30" 16:10 monitor. is it good?

TFTcentral hasn't reviewed it yet, but I'm surprised they are still selling this for 1k when the 3014s were being sold for 1K back in 2014. Looks like the only improvement is p3 color space, but it's not clear if its a p3 panel or adobe rgb panel, either way make sure you can return it if you don't like it since their 2415 had this huge green veiling all over the screen that was unavoidable and it was unacceptable.

also everybody be like "pagancow whats your thoughts on 21:9 whats your 21:9? tell me what u think about 21:9"

I finally was forced to work on one for a week.

1) its garbage for work, since menus go down, not left and right.
2) its garbage for games since most dont support the proper FOV + you're rendering pixels you don't need so your perf drops for very little benefit.
3) the PPIs on them are still low density, and look like 24" 1080P screens.
4) most content that is actually 2.35:1 doesn't fit in them because the black bars get encoded in 16:9 material so hope you enjoy looking at things in little windows.

cameras are explicitly meant to capture the wide dynamic range of the world for display on a limited dynamic range display. taking a photograph of an HDR display is totally valid

technically correct, but displays still cannot go beyond 10 stops.
