  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Announcing the RED DSMC2 Ultra Brite 7" monitor

@Ketch, I'm guessing that size difference could be the electronics, but likely also to deal with heat from the display. Likely more passive cooling in that screen.

It's actually pretty impressive that it doesn't draw too much more than the current 7.0".

And I'll go one more deep, EXTREMELY IMPRESSIVE that the product was announced and shipping right this second. Sneaky guys. Though it was teased a bit ago.


One more thing I'm seeing that I like. The 1920x1200 resolution seems to work better for the GUI particularly in FF formats. Subtle, yet noticeable.
 
Differences in power draw between the normal 7" and the UB?
Even though the UB seems like a great upgrade I have no major issues using the normal 7" outside with a sunhood (which also sometimes also works as a privacy protector)
My main concern would be the power draw because I'm running on batteries 99.99% of the time for exteriors.
 
Gonna be the guy that asks: Is there any consideration for a trade in from 7.0 touch to this model?
 
+1 for more info about backlight settings in the OSD, will a quick switch be available for "studio" or "daylight viewable" settings?

Recent 7" models were quite accurate VS past 5" ones so I'd really like 2 officially supported and (relatively) calibrated settings available in the menu and assignable to a button like everything else...

Yeah might thinking exactly Phil,
And yes in absolute love with this one, as I was already thinking about exclusively using the 4.7 for camera control and the 703 for actual on camera outdoor all in one monitor.

Very happy that this one finally came out with this type of specs!!
 
This is very cool. One of the things that we always wanted was brighter screens so great to see it finally happening!

But how is it possible that the power draw is similar to the 7"???

A more modernized / power efficient lcd panel I'd assume.
 
This one feels like a must have. Here in UK the normal screen works fine, but when we are in Sri Lanka and its 40 degrees and the sun is pounding down then I can almost not see anything on the old screen.
Now what is the best way of attaching it? We have the titan arms, that may be one way, but I see they use the thin Red arms. Are they really stable enough?

Would the powers that be consider an updated 5' monitor with the bright screen having used all the screens the 5' is still my favourite and I use it over all the others. Its the perfect size.

Kind Regards
Ian
