Panasonic Viera TC-7WMS1 User manual

APPLICATIONS
16:9 Widescreen Viewing
Panasonic’s new TC-7WMS1 7" LCD Color Display greatly expands
monitoring in both field and studio environments. Mount it directly on
your camcorder to gain a better view on composition, framing, color
assessment and focus, and at the same time reduce eyestrain associated
with small viewfinders. With its ball head mounting system, this versatile dis-
play can be rotated and angled to accommodate most viewing
requirements. It’s also great for tape playback review and assurance.
Add the TC7-BAT Battery Powered Framework, and the TC-7WMS1
becomes a freestanding portable monitor — convenient for producers’ and
directors’ viewing of live feeds and tape playback.
The TC-7WMS1 also serves as a convenient monitor when used with VTRs.
Place it next to a desktop or rack mounted VTR for monitoring
set-up menus, input, output and ‘super’ feeds. Add it to any control
room environment for graphics preview, return video feeds, off-air
checks, timecode monitoring, POV cameras, and much more.
Video Camera Monitor
Mount the TC-WMS1 on a portable or studio camera for use as
a large-screen viewfinder or over-the-shoulder monitoring. Also
convenient for playback from the camcorder’s VTR. Alternately,
use it for return video or teleprompter messaging.
VTR Monitor
Mounts in any physical configuration next to a studio or field VTR.
Convenient for setting menus or simply adjacent monitoring.
Connect to "super" composite output.
