This five inch HDR monitoring and recording solution is designed for filmmakers and broadcast professionals who need maximum performance in a highly portable form. With support for 12G SDI and HDMI 2.0a, it seamlessly connects to virtually any camera and handles formats ranging from HD to Ultra HD and 4K DCI up to 2160p60. This makes it equally suitable for digital cinema, live production and broadcast testing environments.
At the heart of the device is a stunning 1920 by 1080 HDR touchscreen with an impressive brightness of 2500 nits. The wide P3 colour gamut and HDR support ensure accurate colour reproduction, even in bright outdoor conditions. Integrated HDR scopes, waveform, vectorscope, histogram and RGB parade allow precise evaluation of exposure and colour, while focus peaking, zebra and false colour tools help achieve critical focus and correct exposure on set.
Recording capabilities are equally advanced. The built in recorder captures broadcast quality 10 bit 4:2:2 files in ProRes and DNx formats, as well as Blackmagic RAW when connected to supported cameras. Files are saved in standard formats, enabling immediate editing without conversion. Recording can be done directly to a UHS II SD card or to an external USB C drive, offering flexibility for different production workflows and longer recording times.
The robust aluminium housing is both lightweight and durable, with standard mounting points for easy integration into camera rigs. A responsive capacitive touchscreen running Blackmagic OS provides an intuitive interface, allowing quick access to settings, monitoring tools and playback controls using simple tap and swipe gestures. The design ensures that essential information is displayed as a semi transparent overlay, keeping full attention on the image at all times.
This compact HDR unit is powered via L series batteries or the included universal power supply with locking connector, making it reliable for both mobile and studio use. By combining high brightness HDR monitoring, advanced scopes and professional recording in a single device, it significantly enhances the capabilities of any SDI or HDMI camera.
