Starlite HD-m 5" OLED SDI Monitor-Recorder with Metadata Agregator - 917TS0142

The StarliteHD-m is an advanced electronic toolbox. It’s a compact monitor/recorder that attaches nicely to almost any camera. It has an intuitive touchscreen video display and control. It is small and lightweight. If you’re shooting a multiple camera setup, put one StarliteHD-m on each camera.

For focus pullers: lens information, depth of field, focus magnification, focus peaking, camera status and data.
For script supervisors: record/playback, data, PDF report.
For camera operators: virtual horizon, data, shot playback.

The StarliteHD-m is like the office coffee machine, where news and gossip about the entire camera and lens system is gathered. StarliteHD-m records information connected directly by cable from the camera and lens:
Metadata from the camera’s SDI output.
Camera information via a direct Ethernet connection.
Lens metadata from the serial connector of the lens or mount.

Basic lens data (T-stop, focus, zoom position) is often available through the camera mount and transferred to the camera’s HD-SDI output. The latest lenses also give us access to critical information via direct serial connection about shading, distortion mapping, illumination, etc. This advanced data, so helpful for post production and VFX, must be collected directly from the lens.

About The Transvideo StarliteHD-M

The StarliteHD-m is the missing link that aggregates all this data. Files are recorded onto an SD card in the unit. These metadata files can then be added automatically to the video files. They are synced together with timecode.

A set of cables is all you need to get the lens data on StarliteHD-m:
HD-SDI BNC cable
Basic lens data provided by Cooke /i, ARRI LDS, ZEISS eXtended Data, and more to follow.
Camera information via RDD18 (Sony protocol) or ARRI protocol. More to come.
