Shoot Tools — Miranda Technologies

Easier to see HD

HD cameras continue to drop in price. That's good. But actually seeing the results on location still relies on pricey portable HD monitors. Now, Miranda Technologies offers the MDC-900/920 downconverters, which allow the use of lower-cost SD monitors. These less expensive versions of its DVC-800 downconverter enable multiple monitoring outputs, as well as the viewing of key metadata, including scene, take, and reel number. The DV encoding option can also save valuable time by allowing effective on-set DV rough editing as well as the rapid preparation of dailies, according to Miranda.
