The Schneider 6.6 x 6.6" 3mm Gold True-Streak Filter is designed to be used perpendicular to a point light source such as the sun, a light bulb, or a candle. Within the filter's glass is a combination of fine line types whose action is limited to point light sources. Upon those light sources, those lines create the effect of a scene or image that has been recorded with an anamorphic lens and then displayed using a complementary reverse projection lens. This can result in prominent, elongated streaks that are symmetric and extend horizontally from each point light source to draw attention to a specific part of the frame, or to create a visually dramatic effect.

If an image or footage is captured with an anamorphic lens for the primary purpose of obtaining a greater aspect ratio than what is possible when only using spherical lenses on a 35mm format, the direct result will appear compressed and distorted. Projecting this compressed and distorted footage or imagery through a reverse anamorphic projection lens allows elements within the scene to be viewed in their correct proportions. A complementary effect of this process after it is completed is the creation of elongated, blue-colored, horizontally symmetrical highlights from point light sources that can extend through the frame.

Many cinematographers and photographers find this effect desirable and the Schneider 6.6 x 6.6" 3mm Gold True-Streak Filter is intended to allow such highlights to be easily reproduced when using optics that do not have an anamorphic design. This filter renders the streaks it helps to create with a gold hue, instead of the blue highlights generated when using traditional anamorphic optics that are not designed to suppress streaking. True-Streak Filters that are formulated to create red, orange, yellow, green, blue, pink, or violet banding instead of gold are also available, as well as Clear True-Streak Filters that can allow existing colors or lack of colors displayed by point light sources to be maintained. Alternatively, when a Rainbow True-Streak filter is applied, streaks extending from point light sources each assume the characteristics of a continuous spectrum. Elongated streaks from intense light sources may contain up to seven, sequential red, orange, yellow, green, blue, pink, and violet colors. Shorter streaks corresponding to less prominent sources of illumination may display a more limited number of colors which are determined by their relative position within the frame.

The line types within this filter's glass are placed 3mm apart from each other. True-Streak Filters with spaces of 4mm, 2mm, or 1mm between their lines are also available where this filter type's effect becomes progressively stronger as the spacing between those lines is decreased.

This filter is most effective for pictures where the light source used to generate the streak effect is a highlight with a significant degree of contrast from the rest of the image. It is constructed from water white glass for clarity as well as color fidelity.

Q: 1. If the Gold Mount covers the VESA mounting threads then how do you attach the VESA mount for a c-stand?

A: The mounting position for the gold mount battery plate on the Lilliput BM280-4KS covers the VESA mount. Therefore, you will have to rig the battery plate somewhere else if you want to use both at the same time.

Q: 2. Can I see all 4 inputs (picture-in-picture) simultaneously?

A: YES

Q: 3. Can this monitor be mounted on a C stand? Is their a mounting hole on the bottom of the monitor?

A: No hole on the bottom. However, there is a VESA mount on the back. Use this product and your director and you will be happy. FSI Solutions 75/100mm VESA to C-Stand Mount B&H # FSMM100.

Q: 4. Is this monitor compatible with ARRI alexa or RED epic?

A: Yes! Its compatible with both. Its best also, if you get a vesa to c stand mount, so you can mount it on a c stand.

Q: 5. can I plug in a S-7500F dummy adapter, which comes with SWIT S-3602F?

A: Not that we are aware of. This product is only compatible with Lanparte Dummy Batteries.

Q: 6. Will this work with the new aputure nova?

A: You could use this with a Nova.

Q: 7. What is required to power this monitor? Does the 15 v dc adapter plug into 110 v ac?

A: YES .

Q: 8. I'm trying to keep my JVC GY-LS300 going. Will this plate work with my camera?

A: The Anton/Bauer Gold Mount for JVC Camcorders will not work for powering the JVC GY-LS300. This adapter is for larger JVC shoulder mounted ENG cameras.

Q: 9. how many kilograms is this monitor with case?

A: The Lilliput BM280-4K Carry-On 4K Monitor (V-Mount) is 23.50 kg, Including Case.

Q: 10. Am I missing something here? I was under the impression that I pop the battery onto the plate, run a cable out of the plate and into the camera/monitor/ipad/etc... and that was all there was to it. HOWEVER, I get nothing. I have four Anton Bauer batteries that are all fully charged. I find it hard to believe that all four would have gone bad. Yet, when any of them are attached nothing happens. I've flipped every switch on the batteries and Lanparte plate I could find, I've used different cables and adapters - nothing! Now, I do get power when plugged into the wall via the charging cable. So I guess what I am wondering is - am I supposed to run D-tap OUT and then back IN to the 12vDC charging port to power the whole thing? or what? Could mine be defective? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

A: The unit may be defective. You should get power from any of the plugs. Are you getting power from the D-Tap?
