SmallHD DP7 Pro monitor

[Dan Kanes]

Love the look of this, and since they also made it compatible with our transmitter I can't help but be stoked.

I personally know Dale and Wes, and I'm really proud of their work. The DP7 looks incredible and I can't wait to purchase one... now to decide on OLED or Hi-Brightness... I think I'll be going with the HB for steadicam work, and use my DP6 for indoor stuff not requiring daylight-viewable-ness. Gawd the DP7 sure is gorgeous.

Placed my pre order yesterday, looks incredible indeed. I really like the croos convert functions and that it will also work as a video assist, that makes it worth the money, although it's still quite expensive...

 

[Norbert Jalitsch]

placed my order two weeks ago, and since then so much new features of the dp7 were announced... very interesting! i have ordered the oled, but i'm thinking about the high brightness model as well... today they announced recording to sd card, sounds amazing !

i already own the dp6: dop's, operators, focus pullers love it!!!

 

[Andy White]

Wow - I've been planning on an an extra monitor and hadn't really looked into the DP7.

But, loving it's features and cross conversion - plus the abilty for LUT's downstream.

Really nice.

Now - what was the $ to £ conversion rate today...

I'm really hoping they release a DP7 "non-pro"

Adding waveform this and transmitter that and charging an absurd premium for it is TVLogic's job. SmallHD is supposed to be the people's monitor.

Give me an OLED screen, an HDMI port, and a battery, for $1800. $2000 for the HD-SDI version. Basically an OLED / larger DP6.

Edit : Oh God, I just saw they've now also added onboard recording and are no longer showing the previously-announced already-too-high price of $2700. Seriously, when did TVLogic buy SmallHD?!?!

Are you kidding

Are you kidding

I think if you look at the prices of good monitors with all the extras you gut with the smallhd, you cant compare. The price is quite a deal. If all your looking to record is a proxy file. Youve just cut out buying a samurai or ki pro mini or pix.
Cross convertor. Another 8 hundred bucks and another little box hanging off your rig. One monitor doing it all is kinda awesome.

Agree, can't wait to put the Arrow together with the Oled 7. Dale, Wes and all at SmallHD are one of the most supportive and engaged with their clients companies in our industry. wish them every success and can't wait to see how the Arrow will hook up with the DP7's X port and combined with the SD card onboard rec/ playback its a cracker

 

[Clint Lealos]

Holy Shit! This looks like a marriage made in heaven. What an incredible solution for a whole lot of problems. I can't wait to get my hands on this combo. If it does what is advertised, it will make my life a lot easier on set and for a fair price too. What codec will it use to record to that SD card I wonder? Good luck to Dan and folks at Small HD!

 

[Matt Ryan]

Now all we need is Look Labs to make their LUT's compatible with the DP7 and were set.

 

[Matt Gottshalk]

Saw the OLED version out at NAB.

I placed a preorder as soon as I could.

It will be worth every penny.

I think if you look at the prices of good monitors with all the extras you gut with the smallhd, you cant conpare. The price is quite a deal.

I definitely agree with that, I was saying, "make a version for people who don't need all that stuff," nothing against the Pro version.

 

[Bob Gundu]

The DP6 had ridiculously slim profit margins. They probably realized that there pricing was to low to remain a business. Saw this new monitor at NAB and it was very impressive.

 

[Robino_J]

Per ordered oled. Looks promising.

 

[Max M.]

As the make a data/power port on the back ( the x port) it would be really cool if they would team up with red to make a cable that can go in the evf/lcd port so if used on the epic you can run a single cable just dreaming away, but maybe would be possible?

That they've lowered the price in recent months (via the introduction of bundles) seems to suggest otherwise...

 

[A. Clint Litton]

My only problem is deciding which one I want...they both look awesome.

What are peoples' feelings about the HB vs. the OLED?

 

[Max M.]

Oled, in bright sunlight you can always use a hood...

Hey Lee,
Sorry for the confusion. The DP7-PRO HB and OLED are still $2699. Recording is a FREE upgrade on these monitors, with many more cool features to be added via software over the next several months. Also, these are by far the least expensive true HD monitors in their class (1000nit and OLED). We are considering a value line of DP7s (400nit) & OLED as you suggest. If you would like to participate in that process, please sign up for our Surveys at the bottom of this page. We value your continued input.

Thanks Max,

Please post all your ideas here. We review all of these very carefully! Keep the ideas coming...
