SmallHD has added two new 13″ Production Monitors to its lineup that already includes 17″, 24″, and 32″ flavors. The 1303 HDR and 1303 Studio boast 10-bit color engines, full HD, SDI I/O, HDMI I/O, and 3D LUT processing.
SmallHD released version 1.0 of its firmware for the Production Monitors from series 1700, 2400 and 3200. Find more about the update and, if needed, download the software.
With a 5-inch screen and a 1080p resolution, SmallHD’s pixel-dense 502 monitor is the perfect companion for any small camera or lightweight gimbal. It’s wide color range, huge selection of helpful overlays and professional build quality gives cinematographers a great tool for getting great shots.
SmallHD has an array of new power accessories to make its popular 500 Series (five-inch) and 700 Series (seven-inch) high definition field monitors more versatile.
SmallHD’s line of 5” 500 and 700 Series monitors, at 7”, are now compatible with an extended variety of popular and professional industry powering solutions. Previously compatible with popular and affordable Sony L-Series or Canon LP-E6 batteries, the panels are now available with Pro Battery Plate Kits that will allow the usage of top shelf powering systems.
We may have convinced you that our new 17-inch production monitor can take a beating, but have we convinced you that the 1703 HDR solves real, on set problems?
Chances are, if you’re already using production monitors on set, you want to know how the 1703 HDR compares to industry standard monitors such as the Panasonic BTLH1700HD and the Sony PVM-A170.
Convergent Design will be releasing Firmware 2016.06, the largest, most comprehensive ever offered by Convergent Design, today, Tuesday, 7-June-2016.

And there are new versions of two free software apps. Detailed release notes are included below. All of these updates are free to the owners of the Apollo and Odyssey products. Convergent Design continues to expand upon a product line first delivered to clients 2.5 years ago, including gifting features that were previously charged upgrades.
Hot on the heels of SmallHD’s daylight-viewable HDR production monitor announcement at NAB comes “Studio” editions of both the 17-inch and 24-inch sizes. Designed to provide the same level of durability, high-end software capability, resolution and color accuracy as their HDR counterparts, these new 1080p production monitors are designed for controlled lighting environments.
Facing off against baseball bats, off-road vehicles, .40 caliber handguns and more, SmallHD’s new HDR production monitors are truly put through their paces.
Highlights include synchronization, including delay shift, between multiple cameras, and new dissolve options for the switcher.
Convergent Design announces new features for the Apollo Monitor/Recorder/Switcher. The new A/V Align feature allows the synchronization between multiple cameras to be shifted. Each input can be adjusted for delay individually, and then video and audio delay separately adjusted. This allows for the mixing of brands and models of cameras that can introduce varying amounts of delay to the video and audio outputs.
