Working with an EX1 and a Panasonic BT-LH1710W monitor

[Michael B. McGee]

its been nearly 3 years since i bought my EX1 which introduced me into this complex world known as digital video. even though i've learned a tremendous amount i'm still very much behind the curve and that's why i appreciate this forum so much. most of you have been extremely helpful in my DV educational process. that's why i come to you with my latest inquiry. i'm also not completely hip to the DV lexicon. so, please bare with me.

How do i calibrate/setup a Panasonic BT-LH1710W monitor (and/or other HD/SDI field monitors) in order to see "exactly", or as close to, what my EX1's sensor sees? i'm familiar with setting up the pluge for brightness, but that's about it. more specifically i noticed in one of the menus a setting for REC 709 and/or SMPTE. i also seem to remember a menu for "color temperature???" with settings for D6500, D5600,....and what about Gamma settings?

what settings have worked best for you?

btw: i've tried a "Google search" and couldn't find that much specific info.

thanks,
Mike

http://www.synthetic-ap.com/tips/calibrate.pdf . My best advice is blue only is your friend. REC 709 is standard HD....I'd say go for that. D6500 is a computer/video monitor color temperature standard reference and D5600 is just a bit bluer. Use D6500. Gamma...I don't know what to tell you there read the manual if you have it or leave it on default. Do a search for that monitor on these forums you may find something.

thanks, but manuals don't tell you how to get want you need and i've already tried a search. that's why i'm posting here to have someone with experience help me out. i guess i'll try to contact Panasonic on Monday to setup a demo.
