Transvideo Wins CinecAward For Unique 3D Monitor

A leading company in electronic design for the film, video and avionics industries, Transvideo, has won a prestigious cinecAward for its CineMonitorHD 3DView monitor, the world's first HD SDI monitor with synchroniser for 3D D-Cinema field use.
The award was presented at cinec 2010, held in Munich 18 - 20 September 2010.
Just six cinecAwards are presented by the Bavarian Society for the Advancement of Film Technology (FGF), for innovative and trendsetting products for motion picture technology. Transvideo won the Camera Equipment award.
Jacques Delacoux, President and Managing Director, Transvideo, said: "We are proud and delighted to have won this prestigious award. Transvideo is constantly monitoring trends and developments in the motion picture industry and planning ahead to create tools to aid content creators. As the nascent 3D industry really begins to flourish, we already have a monitor that 3D stenographers can trust, with the functions they need."
The CineMonitorHD 3DView is currently being used by Wim Wenders and Alain Derobe on the forthcoming feature film Pina, as well as several other movies around the world, including Harold & Kumar and Darkest Hour.
The CineMonitorHD family includes monitors with a synchroniser to fulfil the requirements of the growing digital community that wants to shoot 3D films with two DSLR cameras or other non-genlockable cameras. It also includes some wireless units which give freedom to the Stereographer on the set. The CineMonitorHD 3DView includes several modes to help the operator to correlate cameras and to preview the image in false colours mode. It also features multi-format inputs (HD/SD-SDI, HDMI and composite video) and a useful gunlock analyser that precisely analyses the synchronisation status of the cameras in a graphical way. The 3DView family comes with 6" to 15" screens.
