All user displays and status windows appear on the SGI monitor. Adaptors are supplied by Pandora that convert the SGI video connectors to BNC. The customer only needs to supply 3 bnc cables, these run from the machine area to the operator desk. If this is an upgrade to an existing Pogle, then the current bnc cables can be used.
In addition to the SGI monitors, we have used various Sony 17" and
20".
The required resolution is 1280x1024.
The SGI flat screen is supported by the O2 and this has a resolution of 1600x1024.
A 17" monitor is the default monitor from SGI, this is good only if the monitor is directly in front of the operator.
However if the monitor will be placed to one side of the desk, then a 20" monitor will be required.
If there is space then a 20" monitor is strongly recommended, this will allow both operator and client to view clips on the Platinum screen.
Old Pogle Multi sync / VGA style monitors will probably not work with the 1280x1024 Indy resolution and will also be too small.
