Those show lenses, but they're not listed in what's included. If somebody is going to bid on those I'd suggest sending them an email first asking about that.

Barto, if you ended up buying those and don't need them all, I'll definitely buy one. :tu:

Very cheap 7" TFT LCD displays. Just picked one up myself. They're not of the highest quality, but hey, not bad for $32 shipped. It also looks like they'd fit very nicely in 3U if you want to mount it into your case. only thing is that since they're made for a car you'll need to find a
PSU. But it's 12VDC so that shouldn't be a problem.

This too:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/220795831986?#ht_4912wt_849

Fairly inexpensive CCTV camera. I have yet to receive mine so I'll confirm if it's worth the money when I get it. I did however buy one very similar that I've used quite a bit. Neither have external syncing, which is fine for me cos I'm just feeding them into a mixer/switcher. it'll also be really low res, but it should be fine for my purposes.

On a side note. I've been looking for a 4-8mm, 1.2f, C-mount lens for a 1/2" CCD CCTV camera that doesn't cost a fortune for ages. if any of you fine folks knows where to get one, lemme know :)

There are some genlockable TBCs in the $250-$300 range up right now. The Kramer one is a great deal, since it also has YCrCb output (you could use this in tandem with the upcoming Triple Video Interface module to get Composite-to-Color Decoded & TBC'ed input to your LZX)....

It's a keyer and matte (flat color field) generator.

The Ultimatte-4 is basically a high end chroma-key controller. It can be used in a few different ways to generate the "matte" signal used in chroma-keying. (but keys on blue or blue-green rather than "chroma-key green")

But, it requires studio quality sync signals. The foreground input is RGB non-composite video (no sync on video). It requires an external RGB encoder. The background is a non-composite video signal (color encoded, but no sync).

It can either blend the foreground and background, after matting the foreground and encoding. Or it can drive an external keyer to do the chroma-keying.

They are touchy devices and expect signals found in large studios. All signals are expected to be already in sync with each other.

I vaguely remember it winning a technical Emmy for the quality of it's chroma-keying.

Looks cool, I wish it was easier getting hold of bend-friendly video-mixers and such. The work of karl klomp comes to mind.

While I should probably check with a mod more knowledgeable than myself, I believe posting a link to your own eBay auction should probably follow the guidelines set forth in the B/S/T forum rules:
viewtopic.php?t=34546

I think this thread is okay for sharing links to eBay deals that may of specific interest to video wigglers (cheap genlock cameras, TBCs, vintage gear, etc), but items for sale within the community should follow B/S/T forum guidelines.
