Misc. Camera & Monitor Notes

  • on Harmony, the MD cam was a marshall 343-csb, and we believe it added some latency in the MD monitors (pelco 19"). When we swapped it with a panasonic wv-cp500, the delay went away.
  • on Merrily We Roll Along, we learned that setting the shutter faster than 1/250 made all of the LED units appear to strobe onscteen
