RALEIGH, N.C.—SmallHD today launched its Smart 5 Monitor Series, which includes the Ultra 5, Cine 5 and Indie 5 touchscreen displays.
The introduction also includes two additional wireless versions of the Ultra 5: the Ultra 5 TX and Ultra 5 RX. Each of the new 5-inch monitors is powered by the PageOS 5 software toolkit, the company said.
“The Smart 5 series was designed in response to significant demand for smaller touchscreen monitors with the same quality and functionality of SmallHD’s Smart 7 and Ultrabright Series,” said Dave Bredbury, product manager for CS Cine. “We shrunk the display and increased the overall capabilities. Finally, users have access to our camera-control licenses for ARRI, RED and Sony VENICE on a 5-inch monitor.”
Together, the Ultra, Cine and Indie Smart 5 Series monitors deliver three tiers of brightness, I/O capability and physical interface options. Each is equipped with multi-touch interfaces. The Cine 5 offers a joystick and back button for camera control functionality. The Ultra 5 includes customizable function buttons for monitor access and control of software functions while wearing gloves. The monitors are encased in a unibody chassis of anodized aluminum and offer multiple mounting points, the company said.
The PageOS 5 toolkit included with the monitors offers EL Zone Exposure Assist, best-in-class waveform and false color, Look-Around Camera Control and Advanced Teradek RT Overlays, it said.
