Big Mug Software Releases Monitor Magic

More HDV@Work news from
The Briefing Room

Big Mug Software has released Monitor Magic version 1.0. This is a multiple camera monitoring solution that works with DV, DVCProHD, and HDV.

Using waveform monitors, vectorscopes, RGB parades, and histograms, you can ensure that the picture you capture through the camera is of perfect quality and broadcast legal. And because you can be monitoring from multiple cameras, you can ensure their color balance matches.

As well as standard monochrome weighted waveform monitors and vectorscopes, Monitor Magic also provides colored versions that make it much easier to spot the problem areas.

Monitor footage from multiple cameras at the same time. This is great for interviews. Just imagine, you can have two cameras set up for close-up shots of the interviewer and interviewee, and a third camera for a wider shot of both people. You can check all three cameras have the same color and lighting balance, and that each camera is recording legally for your final format.

Do you use a special anamorphic lens to get a true anamorphic 2.40:1 aspect ratio? Monitor Magic will allow you to set up scale factors for the preview so that you can see what you are filming at the final aspect ratio. Not only that, but it will allow you to flip the preview vertically or horizontally.
