When filming with DSLR and CSC cameras, external monitors are essential. The exact sharpness cannot be judged on the small camera monitors. A large display, a focus assistant (peaking), and zebra marking of overexposed areas are important tools that often determine the quality and professionalism of film recordings.

IPS LCD displays are ideally suited for film shoots due to their high color accuracy and vibrant color representation. The IPS technology (In-Plane Switching) reduces the image angle dependency of contrast, resulting in fewer changes in colors and contrasts even when the image angle is altered.

The walimex pro Director III includes all common tools to support you during your shoots. A focus assistant highlights high-contrast edges in color, allowing for more precise and faster focus adjustments. The zebra setting marks overexposed areas, with the sensitivity of the brightness display adjustable in 5% increments. A histogram is also available to check brightness distribution, and a volume indicator can be activated for visual monitoring of the sound signal. You can control the incoming sound signal via a 3.5mm jack socket.

Feedback can occur when a speaker plays back the signal from a microphone while the microphone picks up that same signal again. This creates an electroacoustic loop. The walimex pro Director III features a speaker box to reproduce recorded footage acoustically. To avoid feedback during filming, the Director III offers the following measures: 1. turn the volume of the monitor to zero. 2. set the "Mute" switch in the menu to "on." 3. use headphones. Ensure there is sufficient distance between the monitor and the external microphone.
