nicekyo Posted January 3, 2012 Share #1 Â Posted January 3, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) I understand that you can get instant previews and transfers using Flexcolor. For those of us who occasionally work in the field, not wanting to tug along a laptop, is there a way to instantly output preview to a field monitor? Just a preview, there is no need for live-view. For me, the built in LCD is bit small for some fine tuning on the field. And there is also a dead pixel. I know this beats the whole analog feel of the DMR approach, but if there is a workaround without removing the SD card every time (and transferring it to a laptop) would be great!

guidowi Posted January 4, 2012 Share #2 Â Posted January 4, 2012 Hi Nicekyo, may be you loose less time transferring the SD card to a laptop than waiting for the picture appearing on the DMR screen I love the DMR but it is really too slow. Anyway I think there is no other way to watch the pictures on the field. A small MacBook air 11" could be useful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicekyo Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share #3 Â Posted January 4, 2012 I agree with you (guidowi) completely. I came to the same conclusion in my attempt to install flexcolor on a friend's macbook air, and connect the DMR from firewire to a firewire/usb converter, the results were disastrous. There were driver issues, hardware incompatibilities, and when I did get it to work, the transfers were painfully slow. However, when I used my macbook pro 13in, it worked very well. The problem is the weight and ergonomics of the setup, it just didn't work well in the field. Â In part, I guess I am jealous over my colleagues who runs around with their Canons and Nikons with HDMI outs that can be connected to any field monitor on a cine arm. But I do win 100% of the of the time when I mount the 50mm lens with wide open apertures, their mouths usually hang when I show them the depth of the picture quality in 16bit mode (on some pro monitors of course). It really does have a 3d feel to it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what happens to gallery owners when they see a print Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicekyo Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share #5 Â Posted January 7, 2012 Hehe, there is little doubt from any DMR user on the level of detail from your work. Now, only if Leica comes up with this magical R solution in Sept. But I wouldn't bet on it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
