Here, Kosmo Foto looks at 10 noteworthy cameras from the former DDR.

But the East German camera industry was much more ambitious than this. The likes of Pentacon, Exakta and KW produced millions of cameras, some of them designed to take on the best of the Japanese and West German camera makers.įor many photographers, the distinctive no-frills SLRs of the Praktica range were a cheap and cheerful introduction to film photography – just enough camera to let you take properly exposed pics, and nothing more. The Soviet Union’s camera industry was the most prominent of the Warsaw Pact nations, but East Germany’s wasn’t far behind. Many of the camera and lens producers that had helped build pre-war Germany’s reputation of excellence suddenly found themselves on the other side of the Iron Curtain. The postwar partition of Germany – the West and East separated thanks to the Cold War – had a huge effect on the German camera industry. Last month marked 70 years since the creation of East Germany. It just seems like a function you would want when you're checking clips of recorded content to make sure everything looks kosher.KF article top Praktica VLC 2 and Pentacon Pentina M (Pic: Stephen Dowling) I honestly can't imagine it being that difficult to add in.

I truly hope that BM adds a little button to allow for Full Screen access.

Hey, for 50kb, anyone can download it and try it. From what I saw, there is the tiniest bit of lag (you really have to look hard for it), but as it stands, that program is the best! It is shareware however, and will pop up a nag screen after an hour or so, but it's 10 bucks, and completely worth it. I hit ALT+TAB and I had everything in full screen glory. I launched it and before my finger was lifting off my mouse I had a display. I found a Windows program that is only 50kb and works fantastically to output video to my iMac's monitor (when in Windows, of course). Has anyone had any better luck with an application, either Windows or Mac? Have tried VLC and get the same result as others - the recorder appears as an input device but does not work. This thread is depressing - I have what I thought was a simple requirement, just to be able to display the input signal using any application that could display full screen preview from the Mini Recorder. have just bought a Mini Recorder with the express purpose of performing in the field checks on focus from SDI/HDMI camera outputs. (that's media express, see audio levels, noĪudio preview, timecode on preview since it's capture mode, and noĭavid_doyle wrote:Just following up on this thread. Screen also source input is heavily interlaced, but i think that'sĭue to the native output of the device, it would be nice to be able toĭo in-line de-interlacing but that's really shooting for the sky :)

(quicktime 7 pro screenshot of working inputįrom hdmi and audio preview in movie recording mode, just no full Here's some screenshots of different attempts/apps that come close: Here are some screenshots and notes and other things attempted that were less successful (such as Quicktime 10 with Mountain Lion, which doesn't even do audio preview from the audio input, and doesn't list the intensity as a video source, but does allow full screen, which is a shame). However, there's no timecode, there's no watermarking overlays either. I've done more digging with an old coworker who's also worked with similar gear, she was able to help me get it sort of working better with Quicktime 7 Pro (it does live video and audio preview, but not fullscreen, but again that can be improved a bit with OS X's zooming unfortunately there are no in-line processing abilities such as de-interlacing or anything). Keep me posted if you find anything! I'm looking into grabbing the declink SDKs, at a previous job I used those maybe there is a toolset that can be applied to write something simpler? So far it seems wirecast may be the closest thing, though their demo version has a watermark (both audio and video overlay), and it costs $400 or so for the full version, and that still seems to have more functionality than I want, but not the functionality I actually desire either. I don't really want streaming or capture for my use case (though those are nice I suppose) I just want to be able to do a full screen preview with audio. There's a program called Wirecast from telestream that does preview the audio as well, but doesn't seem to do full screen preview both of those are meant for streaming. The ustream producer will use the intensity as a capture device, but also no audio preview, just like media express.
