Supports NTSC and PAL DV FireWire Cameras

HD Monitor Pro allows users with a Panasonic HVX200 to view, focus, optimize, record and organize high definition and standard definition video directly to their Macintosh computer. Users see 1:1 pixel accuracy even if they are using a screen resolution less than the full 1080 HD screen resolution of 1920x1080. This allows pixel perfect focusing in real time even on a 12 inch laptop screen. HD Monitor Pro will allow users to zoom in up to 400% or to auto scale the video to fit any size window.

On screen audio meters, with high level hold and peak detection, allow users to monitor and optimize their audio levels. Users can listen to the live audio through their Mac for issues like unwanted background noise or problems with a vocal performance. To prevent feed back loop issues when not using headphones, users can independently control the audio play through volume from the Mac OS system sound settings. Users shooting in high def can record and view audio meters for all 4 channels of audio for maximum flexibility in editing.

Users can independently control starting and stopping HD Monitor Pros clip recording from the cameras record button. Users will be able to continue recording direct to disk even when the cameras tape stops and needs to be changed. An on screen indicator will let the user know when a clip is being recorded as well as a system resource meter which will warn of recording issues before they happen.

HD Monitor Pro's direct to disk recording provides the ability to label, rate, and add notes to each shot which later imports directly into Final Cut Pro, improving the efficiency of field logging and energizing post production. HD Monitor Pro removes the time limits of shooting on tape or P2 cards and eliminates the possibility of tape dropouts. With the ability to instantly review shots on the fly without having to switch the camera to VCR mode and shuttle tape around, users can see immediately if they got the shot or not.

“If I have to choose only one, HD Monitor Pro is the best of the three apps, in my opinion, due to its clip manager and integration with FCP.”

“I’d rate it as the total king of the hill”

“The clip manager by itself is so useful and valuable, I have to rate this app as my favorite. The clip manager is by far the best feature of all three apps. I do like the streamlined interface and keyboard shortcuts.”

“HD Monitor Pro is a very impressive application that offers its own unique features and is priced at $499.”

“ I found HD Monitor Pro well worth the price and very useful for more sophisticated productions.”

“HD Monitor is very impressive. For the price, you get a fantastic group of tools.”

The interface is compact, fast, and straightforward, and it’s also well thought out. For the price, I think it will suffice for most end users. Like VSL, HDM Pro does a great job for the price.
