SmallHD is launching the Smart 5 Monitor Series, comprising the Ultra 5, Cine 5 and Indie 5—three compact 5-inch touchscreen monitors powered by the PageOS 5 Software Toolkit and designed to fit any production need.
“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 reduced the size of the display and increased the overall capabilities. These are our first 5-inch monitors that allow customers to access our optional camera-control licenses for ARRI, RED®, and Sony VENICE.”
The Ultra, Cine, and Indie in the Smart 5 Series represent three tiers of brightness, I/O capability, and physical interface options to match a range of on-set workflows. All monitors will come equipped with multi-touch interfaces; the Cine 5 adds a joystick and back button for a new way to use our camera-control functionality; the Ultra 5 offers supplementary customizable function buttons for quick access to monitor and software functions while wearing gloves. Each monitor is encased in a unibody chassis crafted from anodized aluminum and features multiple mounting points.
“Customers can choose from 3 great product offerings. For example, if someone wants the top-of-the-line 3000nit powerhouse with physical buttons and an ethernet port, we have the Ultra 5.” added Bredbury. “If they want to save some money, but still be able to control their RED KOMODO® with a daylight-viewable touchscreen, then the Indie 5 would be the way to go.”
The included PageOS 5 Toolset with EL Zone Exposure Assist, best-in-class waveform & false color, Look-Around Camera Control (sold separately), Advanced Teradek RT Overlays, and more. The PageOS 5 UI offers quick and repeatable setups and full control over all parameters and display tools. Individual monitor details are as follows:
Ultra 5 combines touchscreen functionality with a full complement of front-facing physical buttons for maximum control in cold weather. It provides 3000nits of brightness, P3 color gamut, 1x 3G-SDI (I/O), 1x HDMI 2.0 (I/O), an ethernet port for optional ARRI & Sony VENICE* camera control, 2-pin locking power input, and a locking 5-pin USB (for RED Camera Control*). Ultra 5 will ship Winter 2022.
Additionally, SmallHD and Teradek have joined forces to integrate the new Bolt 6 wireless technology into the Ultra 5 monitor, creating the Ultra 5 Bolt 6 RX 750 and Ultra 5 Bolt 6 TX 750. These powerful models enable 6GHz connectivity, eliminate the need for additional cables or batteries, unlock full wireless camera control, and work seamlessly with your handheld Teradek RT for full wireless FIZ control. The RX monitors are available with integrated Gold- or V-Mount options and all Ultra 5 wireless monitors are fully cross-compatible with all Bolt 4K devices over the 5GHz band. Ultra 5 RX 750 and Ultra 5 TX 750 are expected to ship beginning January 2023.
Cine 5 combines a touchscreen experience with a side-mounted joystick and back button, 20000nits of brightness, DCI P3 color gamut, 3G-SDI (I/O), HDMI 2.0 (I/O), 2-pin locking power input, and a 5-pin locking USB (for RED Camera Control*). Cine 5 will ship Fall 2022.
Indie 5 offers a touchscreen-only interface with a physical power button and sliding touchscreen lock switch. The most lightweight and streamlined of the trio, Indie 5 provides 1000nits of brightness, Rec. 709 color gamut, 1x 3G-SDI (I/O), 1x HDMI 2.0 (I/O), a barrel power input, and a micro-USB (for RED Camera Control*). Indie 5 will ship Winter 2022.
