Marshall V-LCD70XP-HDMIPT Loop-through Monitor from Vincent Laforet on Vimeo.

Vincent Laforet has managed to get his hands on the latest Monitors from Marshall Electronics (lucky bugger) and he has made this little video to show you what they are capable of. It’s good news for HDDSLR filmmakers like me.

Marshall Electronics Monitor with HDMI Loop through

The monitors address a couple of important issues for us HDDSLR filmmakers. The first one being that they allow HDMI pass through. So you can plug one monitor in via a HDMI cable, then you can run another HDMI cable from that monitor to a second monitor, and share the same HDMI signal. Brilliant!

The second great feature is that when you hit the record button, and the feed goes back down to a smaller resolution, the monitor automatically resizes the feed so it still stays full screen. Obviously the quality will be less great but thats a shortcoming of the camera.
