Nebtek 7" HD LCD

I just got an update from the guys at Nebtek, who are busily working on their new 7" HD LCD monitor.

I saw a prototype of this unit at NAB, and thought it was superior to the Marshal in many ways. It has a detail enhance feature (much like EVF Detail on the HVX) which really helps in focusing- which is the main reason I like it.

It also has underscan, blue gun, true anamorphic, and an image flip function.

They said it should be out in late July and is poised to take on the Panasonic 8" LCD market, the MSRP is $1800 for the analogue model, and $2200 for the SDI version.

Not cheaper than the Marshall, but it does have more features.

Cool.

Altough if they are truly going to "take on the Panasonic 8" LCD market" they better have the "red in focus feature" the Panny has, or something better.

Detail enhance isn't the same thing.

Then again, at the price point they are making it for, maybe the people who are buying won't care.

I too saw it out at NAB, and saw the Panny both there and at the Baltimore Panasonic show.

That focus in red feature is AWESOME.

What is this focus in red feature?? do you know what it does to the image?
Thanks.

Hello siniarch,

Instead of enhancing detail on the edges of an object, the BT-LH80W has a really cool feature that lets y ou focus to red. Whenever you see red around the edges of the object(s) then you know that you're in focus. It's really nice. JVC uses it in the HD200 series cameras. I'm not sure about the HD100 series though.

I'd imagine the focus to red function would work similar to 'detail'- in that the scaler chip would not just enhance the edge details, but also tint them red. Problably looks at adjacent pixels or blocks looking for sharp contrast, and then marking those boundaries red.
