Ultimate Visibility with Unmatched Brightness

At the core of this kit is the SmallHD 703 UltraBright monitor, featuring a stunning 7-inch LCD display with a native resolution of 1920×1080. Its defining characteristic is an astonishing 2200 nits of brightness, making it one of the brightest 7-inch monitors on the market. This extreme luminosity guarantees unparalleled visibility and glare-free viewing even in the most intense outdoor lighting conditions, allowing directors to confidently assess every detail of their shots. The display is further protected by durable Gorilla Glass, enhancing its ruggedness for the rigors of professional use.

PageBuilder OS: Advanced Software That Eliminates Hardware

The 703 UltraBright is powered by SmallHD’s intuitive PageBuilder OS, a revolutionary software platform that provides quick and easy access to a comprehensive suite of professional monitoring tools. PageBuilder OS enables you to customize and save “pages” with various tools layered on screen, tailored to specific monitoring needs. Key software features include:

• HDR Preview and 3D LUT Support: Experience the full dynamic range of your footage with HDR Preview, powered by a 10-Bit ColorEngine and up to 2500 nits (referring to potential maximum, 703 is 2200 nits). Fine-tune your HDR preview with white point and black point adjustment sliders. Load any 3D LUT via SD card using SmallHD’s ColorFlow 3D LUT engine, ensuring accurate color pipelines from capture to post-production.
• HD Scopes with Pixel Accurate Data Analysis: Display up to three, fully customizable Scopes on screen at a time, including Waveform (Luma and RGB), Vectorscope, RGB Parade, and Histogram (Luma and RGB). Utilize the Color Picker to show raw pixel values from the displayed video for meticulous analysis.
• Expose with Confidence: Exposure Assist supports both ARRI and Spectrum based false color, with built-in IRE guides for reference. Utilize 2x Zebra warnings, customizable to your chosen brightness level, which is ideal for matching exposure across shots and cameras.
• Dual View: Monitor two input sources simultaneously. You can apply LUTs and tools to each source individually, which is great for monitoring A/B cameras or pre and post LUT footage. You can also apply tools to each page individually.
• Custom Focus Assist & Peaking Tools: Focus assist creates a bright highlight on in-focus subject matter; highly recommended when focusing on the fly. Focus Peaking increases the image sharpness, allowing more detailed focusing. Change your color and intensity of your focus tools for optimal results.
• Versatile Image Framing: Select standard markers and safety areas that can be overlaid on the display as lines or matte overlays with custom opacity levels and colors. Default aspect ratios include 4:3, 1.85, 2.39:1, 16:9, and Custom (user selectable).
• Software That Eliminates Hardware: PageBuilder OS enables you to send your video signal downstream via the Output Preview page. Any LUTs applied to the Output Preview page will also be mirrored downstream. Easily convert HDMI/SDI signals with Cross Conversion.
