SmallHD’s 1703-P3 on test
By Jim Bask

The 1703-P3 enjoys a peak brightness of 450 nits, which is healthy for a non-HDR display. For more power, there’s the 1703-HDR which is capable of 1100 nits and goes for a dollar less than $4000.

So once again, I didn’t go to NAB. I know, I should go, but to be honest I get caught up in my day job and my family, so usually I forget about NAB until the week before and by that time it’s too late to pull off. I’m hoping to go next year, like really hoping I make plans.
SmallHD has introduced their new daylight viewable touchscreen field monitor, FOCUS, at NAB 2017. Use it to power your DSLR or mirrorless camera. Preorders start in may, Focus will retail at $499 and ship in June!
An innovative monitor that thrives outdoors or in, and shows that 13″ can be as good as 17″ for many jobs. I’ve owned many field monitors over the years, but the 1303 is easily the most versatile and innovative. Its brightness makes it the best monitor I’ve ever used outdoors, and features such as push-button LUTs, dual camera angles, and image capture all are genuinely useful.

The 1703-P3 is designed to serve the color display demands of both on-set and post production color grading professionals.
The 1703-P3 is the company’s first reference-grade monitor, and comes pre-calibrated for working in P3 color space with SmallHD’s ColorFlow 3D LUT Engine allowing look-up tables to be used on set as part of the color management process. The display has two SDI ins and outs (supporting up to 10-bit YCC 4:2:2 1080p60), one HDMI in and out (supporting up to 12-bit RGB and YCC 4:4:4 1080p60), and a full-size SD slot that lets users load new LUTs into the display.

The SmallHD 1303 HDR Production monitor isn’t only the first of its kind for the North Carolina-based manufacturer but also one of the most durable production monitors ever build boasting loads of industry standard features that you would normally find in way more expensive counterparts on the market.

(November 8, 2016) SmallHD announces a free firmware update that adds an array of new features to increase the functionality of its groundbreaking line of 13”, 17”, 24” and 32” production monitors, including the HDR (high dynamic range) displays. To provide a better viewing experience, the Firmware 1.3 update adds De-Interlacer to view interlaced video in a progressive mode.
It wouldn’t be a week here at doddleNEWS without a firmware update, and this time around it’s yet another offering from SmallHD, which will bring HDR Preview and an expansion of LOG to their line of production monitors.
