This document describes a 7-inch 3D LUT Touchscreen Monitor, designed for professional video monitoring with a 2200nits daylight viewable display. The monitor offers a comprehensive set of features for filmmakers and videographers, including advanced monitoring tools, flexible power options, and multiple mounting points.

Function Description

The monitor serves as an ultra-bright 7-inch touchscreen display for video monitoring. It supports both SDI (optional) and HDMI input and output, allowing for versatile integration into various camera setups. An auxiliary power output is also available to power external devices like cameras. The primary interface is a touch screen menu, which simplifies operation and access to its extensive features.

Key functionalities include HDR monitoring and the ability to upload user-defined 3D LUTs (Look-Up Tables) for accurate color representation and creative grading. It supports Log to REC.709 conversion, ensuring proper display of log footage. The monitor is equipped with a 1920x1200 full HD IPS screen, providing a clear and detailed image.

For exposure and focus control, the monitor offers a suite of advanced features. These include Parade, Vector, and RGB Histogram functions, which are quantitative tools to inspect image brightness and guide exposure. Focus Assist provides peaking colors (red, green, blue, white, yellow) to highlight in-focus areas. Zebra Exposure and False Color functions help in identifying overexposed or underexposed regions, aiding in proper lighting and post-production.

Additional image analysis and utility features include Pixel to Pixel mapping for accurate 1:1 pixel display, Center Marker and Safety Marker for framing, and Marker Mat for aspect ratio overlays. Monochrome mode allows viewing in gray, red, green, or blue. Image Freeze captures a still frame for detailed analysis. Zoom-in and Anamorphic Mode functions provide flexibility for different shooting scenarios and lens types. Image Flip H and Flip V allow for horizontal and vertical image inversion, useful in various mounting orientations.

The monitor also includes basic image adjustments such as Brightness, Contrast, Sharpness, Hue, Saturation, and Color Temperature. For audio monitoring, it features an Audio Meter and a Stereo Earphone output.

Usage Features

The monitor is designed for ease of use with its touchscreen interface and intuitive menu system.

Power Supply:

The monitor offers flexible power options. It features dual F970 battery plates on the rear cover, compatible with Sony F970 series batteries (F970, F960, F950, F930, F770, F750, F730, F570, F550, F530). It is recommended to use standard original F970 batteries for optimal performance. Users should remove batteries if the monitor will not be used for an extended period. Additionally, the monitor can be powered via a DC IN 12V input (7~24V DC) with a 5.5mm outer, 2.1mm inner barrel connector. A DC OUT 8.4V power output is available to power cameras using separately available dummy battery cables (e.g., NP-FW50 for Sony, LP-E6 for Canon, DMW-BLF19 for Panasonic).

Mounting:

The monitor has three 1/4"-20 thread points (bottom, right, and left) for easy connection to hot shoe mounts or tripods. An included Tilt Arm allows for 360° tilt adjustment and features a cold shoe for attaching accessories like microphones, LED lights, or wireless receivers.

Menu Operation:

The monitor's menu can be operated via touch screen or a MENU wheel.

• Touch Screen Operation:
  • Double-click the screen to open the main menu on the left side. Clicking a menu item displays its secondary menu. Options can be selected or set using "<" or ">" keys or by clicking the touch screen. Pressing the return key or clicking the touch screen exits the menu.
  • When the menu is not displayed, swiping up from the bottom opens a shortcut menu, allowing quick access to functions.
  • When the menu is not displayed, the left side of the screen (in 1/2 split screen mode) allows direct adjustment of backlight brightness, while the right side adjusts volume.
• MENU Wheel Operation:
  • When the menu is not displayed, rotating the wheel directly adjusts backlight or brightness (configurable in the menu).
  • Long pressing the MENU wheel opens the main menu. Rotating the wheel selects secondary function menus. Pressing the wheel confirms selection, and further rotation adjusts options.
  • Short pressing the MENU wheel opens the shortcut menu at the bottom of the screen. Rotating the wheel selects shortcut options. Pressing the wheel directly toggles functions or allows parameter selection. The shortcut menu automatically exits after about 5 seconds of inactivity.

Custom Function Buttons (F1-F3):

These buttons can be customized to quickly access frequently used functions such as Input, All Waves, Nine Grid, Safety Marker, Center Marker, Marker Mat, False Color, Lut Switch, Parade, Vector, RGB Histogram, Histogram, Audio Meter, Monochrome, Focus Assist, Zebra, Scan Mode, Video Aspect, Anamorphic Mode, Auto Mirror, Flip H, Flip V, Freeze, Pixel to Pixel, Mute, and Lut Out.

Firmware Upgrade and 3D LUT Upload:

Firmware upgrades and 3D LUT uploads are performed via an SD card slot. Users copy the update file or 3D LUT files to an SD card, insert it into the slot, and then use the menu options to initiate the upgrade or import the LUTs.

Maintenance Features

General Care:

• Avoid heavy impact or dropping the product to prevent damage.
• The screen is made of glass; handle with care to avoid injury if it breaks.
• Keep the product away from heat sources and prolonged direct sunlight exposure to prevent LCD screen damage.
• Do not use chemical solutions for cleaning. Wipe the monitor with a clean, soft cloth to maintain surface brightness.

Internal Components:

The monitor contains no adjustable components that users should attempt to repair. Disassembling or repairing the unit by oneself is not recommended and may cause damage.

Troubleshooting:

The manual provides basic troubleshooting steps for common issues:

• Black and White or Monochrome Picture: Check saturation, brightness, contrast adjustments, and ensure "Monochrome" mode is not active.
• No Image After Power On: Verify signal cable connection, ensure a standard adapter is used for power, and check if the battery is fully charged if operating on battery power.
• No Earphone Sound: Check if the volume control is open and try increasing the volume.

For persistent issues, users are advised to contact technologists for support. The manufacturer reserves the right to improve product features and performance, and specifications may change without prior notice.
