more on scopebox

[johney5]

I want to love scopebox, but somehow I'm scared I'm going to be throwing my money away. Has anyone used it on a serious project for HVX recording in 1080P. It quits a bit on me just when I've got isight on. It also doesn't have a zebra, which seems like an obvous shortcoming. I'm also wondering how it handles slow--motion recording?
thanks for any advice from experienced users.

I'm testing ScopeBox and love it. It does HD, which DV Monitor doesn't, yet, and is taking a long time to get to. Capturing into FCP is NOT the same. FCP does not give you an acurate monitor during the shoot. ScopeBox had good scopes, really nice as a monitor on site. I'm really likeing ScopeBox on my Powerbook for use in the field.

You can also capture using Scopebox directly to the internal drive of a MacBook (not pro).

Hi Ben/David,
Can you monitor 1080HD in your PowerBook or just 720pHD?
My 15" G4 PowerBook is 1280x854 only!
Thank you in advance.
