Monitors

As far as I can figure out, no information generated by the camera comes over to the external monitor from the camera except the picture, no camera setting information appears, so if you are thinking that an external monitor will completely solve the problem of not being able to view the top mounted FS100 LCD when the camera is high above your head, the external monitor is not a complete solution.
 
There has to be display information generated via the HDMI I'd imagine? I dont think I've ever had a camera that did not have that option for an external monitor.
 
P78 of the manual.
Display Output
Select "All Output" to duplicate on-screen displays on external monitor. Works with HDMI and composite.

This is incorrect. You can select all the information to display on the external LCD or not. What does NOT happen with the external LCD is the expanded zoom from the camera OR the edge detect. No zebras either. But, all other information, works great. I've tested and used personally.
 
Sold my DP6 yesterday, TV Logic arrives tomorrow.

I'm mostly shooting jobs with a 5.6" on board, directors monitor, client monitor. The HDMI to SDI conversion will reduce the amount of crap attached to the camera, the boxes are not so much the issue, it is the cables for power and signal that cause all the delays and problems.

It is too stressful fighting HDMI splitter intermittent issues and broken HDMI connectors. For years I've been feeding two Dell 24" HDMI monitors over 50' cables, it sucks, I can't take the pressure anymore. I average 1 or 2 new 50' HDMI cables / month.

The waveform will be nice as well, but was not a deciding factor for my application.

If you don't need to send signal all over the place, the DP6 is the way to go.
 
Another quirk on the FS100 is that if the marker is turned on, the only thing that displays on the external monitor is the time code.
