SmallHD Unveils Two New Monitors

SmallHD is to unveil two new studio production monitors at Cinegear Expo next month.

The announcement following the reveal of the daylight-viewable HDR production monitor at NAB 2016. These new 'Studio' editions of the 17-inch and 24-inch monitors are designed to provide the same software capability, resolution and colour accuracy as their HDR counterparts. With 1080p, they are designed for controlled lighting environments.

The monitor housing is milled from billet aluminium and holds a 3mm thick polycarbonate screen protector that is user-replaceable. The RapidRail Shoe Mount System enables quick mounting and powering of third party accessories, making wireless setups particularly easy.

Using SmallHD's 'Pages' system of software presets, the monitors are adaptable to a user's needs and speed up shooting days by providing faster access to critical tools, improving on-the-fly focus, colour and lighting decisions. The new Multi-View page provides simultaneous viewing of all 3 inputs, or multiple views of the same input with a different feature and/or LUT applied to each view. Each customizable page is a button press away.

Built-in ColorFlow technology enables the use of custom 3D LUTs in a variety of ways; custom display calibration, realtime preview of 'creative' LUTs also to be used in post-production, and the ability to imbed LUTs in the video stream for display on monitors downstream. Built-in HD Waveform provides detailed analysis on pre-LUT and post-LUT video data, improving exposure decisions when shooting in flat looking log profiles.

"Daylight view ability is an incredibly convenient feature of our large HDR displays, but for those shooting in controlled lighting environments, the new 1703 and 2403 'Studio' are perfect for the video village," explained Wes Phillips, Co-Founder, SmallHD. "They feature the exact same build quality and software feature set, but don't carry the same price tag of our extremely bright, daylight viewable HDR displays."

The 1703 Studio and 2403 Studio models are priced at $2,999 and $3,499 respectively. They share the same range of custom accessories as the HDR versions.

They will be available on the SmallHD website and through SmallHD authorised resellers from the end of May 2016.
