[GetDown]

After having more than 20 years of technology they still keep those small screen big ass monitors on the announce table ... WHY ?

Of course they hit each other with them somethimes but I haven't seen that in a while because of the restrictions with blows to the head.

So here's a suggestion ............

 

[Pronoss]

You don't know professional broadcast equipment.

They are $30K state of art.


They are 4K resolution hd rugged monitors unbreakable nearly.

They are for military or field work. NASCAR commentary, any outdoor sports, nfl, nba commentary table, etc

You get cues, countdowns, messages overlayed, and you can plug your headphones into it or even a mouse so you can use it to move a remote mounted camera but wwe don't use that feature. You can't break them slamming them, they even have replacement warranty if the shock protection fails.

You can also use a signal button to send a signal to production truck requesting replay if they agree, Lawler likes to get 3 in.

They can drop from 20 feet high screen down and not break


And are $30,000



Here's the model WWE use, the got these a while back. You can see "Leader" brand in some close ups on raw

They went to those about a year ago, before that they had the not as deep 1080p shock proofs with 2 way data

Features

Up to eight channels of SDI input signals available. Four are dedicated input connectors with cable length measurement capabilities, the other four can be configured as inputs or outputs.
External monitor output and SDI router function.
It can display two sets of HD-SDI dual link signals at the same time.
Picture Display method can be by quadrants (square division) or by 2-sample interleave processing.
Pattern generator function and SDI re-clocked output.

Digital Audio Output. The de-embedded audio of SDI signal can be output as digital audio. 16 channels of digital audio can be output from one SDI signal. When de-embeds four SDI signals simultaneously, four channels of digital audio can be output from each SDI signal.
Frame Capture function.
Screen Capture feature. The display can be captured and stored as an image data. The captured data can be displayed on the LV5490. It can also be saved as bitmap files to USB memory, which makes it possible to view the data on a PC.
Timecode
External remote connector.
RJ-45 connector available.
USB Mouse connector allows to operate the front panel.

First exhibited at NAB 2013, the LV5490 now incorporates test-pattern generation, support for two-sample interleaved 4K image transmission and an HD-SDI output. New options include eye-pattern, jitter measurement and ITU-R BT2020 based chromaticity diagram.
With its new pattern generator function, the LV5490 will be able to generate 75% and 100% color bars, limit ramps, 10-step and variable raster.

Two-sample interleaved 4K image transmission is now supported in addition to the square division method. Neither methods have yet been established as an international standard but both are now available to the end user. Two-sample interleave is the method preferred by one of the broadcast industry's most influential camera manufacturers.

The additional HD-SDI output delivers 1080i/59.94 and supplements the LV5490's existing DVI-D output.

Leader's LV5490 multi-display picture and signal monitor supports all video production and transmission resolutions in common use from 525 and 625 standard definition up to 3840 x 2160 and 4096 x 2160 4K. Equipped with four 3G-SDI/HD-SDI/SD-SDI input channels plus a high-quality wide-viewing-angle 1920 x 1080 9 inch flat-panel display, it allows precise matching of studio or outside broadcast cameras. The LV5490 can be used in a very wide selection of test and measurement roles and also doubles as a picture monitor for production crews working on location.

Test and measurement capabilities include waveform, vector and picture monitoring, SDI signal data analysis, cyclic-redundancy-check error, embedded-audio error, event log, data dump and timing display.

The LV5490 allows waveform, vector and picture display to be viewed simultaneously on its 9 inch full 1920 x 1080 HD-resolution screen. Simultaneous display and overlay display of multiple SDI inputs are possible. Size and location of individual channel displays can be adjusted using a USB-connected pointing device.

4K images can be divided into upper left, upper right, lower left and lower right areas and output via as four-wire or two-wire 3G-SDI channels. The LV5490 also has a DVI and HD-SDI rasterizing monitor output.

Optional digital audio monitoring and analysis tools include 4 x 4 channels of SDI audio de-embedding, lissajous display, surround sound display, volumetric display and Dolby decode. De-embedded SDI audio can be output as 8 discrete AES3 feeds.

It's so the announcers can watch the product from the same angle that people see on TV.

For example, if someone runs down the ramp and attacks someone in the ring, the viewers watching TV won't see him until the last moment. But if the announcers aren't watching the monitors, they can spoil what happens for the viewing audience on TV way too soon.

 

[Nine99]

And if ya don't know...

 

[The_Kliq]

F*cking TV monitor threads....WWE is really at a low point.

 

[Pronoss]

Yup they also can split screen

Or quadrant screen

So they can see 4 cameras live on monitor at same time

So they see all angles

Then it may pop-up on screen from Kevin Dunn and crew in production (replay on cam 1 in 10secs)
They say 10 secs of "lets see that again!"

So while Vince is in ear on headsets

Production can put cues on their monitors as text msgs

Also when viewing 4 cameras at once, the camera TV viewers see will have a green dot icon when in split screen

Normally Cole just watches what people see viewing the active camera

The other 2 may watch split or quadrant and if production is going to do a replay from a non active camera, Cole wouldn't see the popup, so JBL can interrupt Cole "hush maggle, I gotta see this again"

It makes multiple commentators work together easier

Plus Vince in ear , they need quadrant views to keep straight.


If you look at back all the plugs are quick connects

You just yank and the feed and power pulls out

And toss to side

Extreme educational, never knew any of that. Pretty cool.

 

[MELTZERMANIA]

There's no delay on the feed. Stop fucking complaining about everything, it's not a big deal. Obviously there a reason they use those monitors, and that's it. You're suggesting they use tablets which will likely be running off of WiFi to carry the feed? What a fucking stupid idea.

 

[Daemon_Rising]

Wasn't the monitor that beat Ambrose that one time a more modern one, or am I imagining that?

That was a computer monitor with the glass removed a junk 20" computer screen

Remove glass it has the dark polarizer film

The cord was faker, not plugged up. it was like a snap pop, or a party popper once he pulled it tight the cord yanked the igniter

You pull the cord it scrapes the striker that ignited a very small magnesium powder squib.

Magnesium powder is what is used in sparklers.

Well once squib popped the magnesium powder tiny bit lights and goes out near instantly

Creating the look of sparks flying and a little smoke from the squib.

Rest is acting

Nobody is gonna wanna hit someone with a tablet :lol

I like the old school feel to the monitors myself, dunno why but I do. You know shit is going down and somebody is likely going through a table when a wrestler begins throwing those monitors aside!

 

[Jupiter Jack Daniels]

I suppose it would make the product better.

And while they're at it, how about replacing those old school headsets with Beats? Instant ratings spike, if you ask me.

They should think about chairs too...

Relax. It appears that the OP really just didn't know. That equipment is bulky and is it really unreasonable that some viewers, who are uninitiated and didn't realize the technology "under the hood" was different, believe the monitors are the same ones used for years? There is an old saying that goes, "the only stupid question is the one that goes unasked." Prompto Argentum is quite right. This has become a very educational thread. Thanks for posting the question OP, and kudos to you Pronoss for the detailed explanations. (Y)

 

[GetDown]

Didn't know how complicated these monitors are. Always thinking they keep them just to hit each other every once and a while ...

 

[CJ]

Because they're functional & serve a purpose.

I dunno about that, I think about it at least five times a day when I'm reading posts on here with my tablet. :wink2:

 

[deanambroselover]

It's so the announcers can call the match how the viewers see it
