Audio VUs Available for Cinema Camera!
Posted: Sat Mar 02, 2013 7:57 pmNot trying to be a wiseass here but...
Seen a lot of posts about needing VUs on the camera. Well if you Plug that nifty Thunderbolt cable into a laptop and run UltraScope you've already got High Quality Digital VUs along with a stereo phase display. Way better than anything they could clutter up the on-camera display with.
What we do on location is run 0db 1 khz test tone through mixer into the BMDCC and monitor levels on the UltraScope. Once you've leveled the audio chain you just trim input levels as needed.
Hope this helps.
