These are products for testing video signals, and also focusing.

 

Here is one that is neat, though doesnt seem to have the focus feature:

Has anyone here used them, any comments, reviews, and also, anyone know of any others that are out there besides these 3?

 

These are links to Manufacturer's sites, if you have a link to a product please post the manufacturer's site .. thanks

Rory,

 

Just came across the EWM40 from elbex; at first look a great measurement instrument for cctv cameras.

(see www.elbex.com)

 

Just want to know who tested this one, and what the comments are.

 

Thnx

That is the Repport337 posted above, looks cool huh.

 

 

 

 

 

I am liking that EWM40, before it was the RAPPORT337 but the EWM40 seems like more for about the same.

Hi Collin,

 

As you were using the former version of the EWM40, I'm really interested to know how well this is performing.

Can you elaborate on the pro's and con's of this equipment?

 

Thanks,

Oh, it's a Wonwoo! (High end MCM)

......and expensive. Anyone know the price (US) for it and that EWM40?

They are two completely different products.

I have never used anything related to the EWM40 or the RAPPORT337, which also I have no knowledge of relation to each other.

It says $549 at CEpro but I noticed MCM made the posting.

I do think it's a cool product and maybe not more for same with the EWM40, I'm thinking the EWM40 will be quite a bit more.

Yeah I know, I am now further considering purchasing the EWM40. The previous statement does kinda make it sound like the two were related.

OK,

Thanks for making this clear

I have used the FM Systems Camera Master and I don't think much of it. The readings are inaccurate and jump around so much as to make it unuseable for focus or signal levels. I find that a good oscilloscope is far better.

I'll agree that focusing can be problematic with the Cam Master, as the readings do tend to jump around all over the place, but I have not had any problems with the readings jumping around when using it for measuring signal levels. I have no way to verify if they are accurate or not.

I've compared the measurements to an accurate scope and they are way off, even with a clean signal.

That Difinitron is around $565.

Has anyone already got a price on the EWM40 ?

[videobruce 0]

I contacted the company in NY and this unit was just placed on their web site. He said he will contact me back regarding priceing etc. I see it does have a WFM and vetorscope, so I would gather a $2k price wouldn't be out of the question.

Ok, after a few phone calls and a e-mail directly to Japan;

 

$2540 (dealer) for the EWM-40 direct from Elbex.

 

(I do have the owners manual if you want to PM me.)
