  • 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 :)

Group Buy - SmallHD 702 Series Monitor

Add me +1

Think I'll ditch the 5" RED touch screen, add this and a switchblade. Sound about right? Someone check me if I'm crazy.
 
Chris,

Thanks for arranging this. What happens if we go past 30! We will.
 
Is there a power connector for P-Tap battery power?
 
Hi all,

I just picked up one of these SmallHD 702 monitors, so evidently I've missed out on this group buy. Bummer.

But I have a perplexing issue, and I'm hoping a bunch of people interested in the monitor might have some insight.

I'm trying to connect the 702 to a 13" Retina MacBook Pro via HDMI.

Connecting the two via HDMI causes no result. No picture on the SmallHD 702, no temporary screen-blanking on the Mac as is typical when they detect a new display. It's like I've plugged a bare cable into the Mac – nothing happens. The System Preferences>Displays pane shows no evidence of an attached monitor.

I've tested with three known good cables, via both the built-in HDMI and a Thunderbolt-HDMI adapter, same result: nothing.

I've plugged a Nikon DSLR and an Apple TV into the SmallHD 702 HDMI, and both produce a picture.

I've plugged the MacBook (direct and via adapter) into an LG HDTV, and it produces picture (extended desktop, etc.). System Prefs then shows the newly attached TV as expected.

It's only the combination of MacBook and SmallHD 702 that produces unexpected results (i.e. nothing!).

Anyone have any thoughts? Is there some HDMI-voodoo I'm missing?

(Other than that, first impressions are good. Screen is bright and sharp, UI is very well designed. Can't speak to the color yet, because I'm waiting for all my SDI-based kit to arrive, and the HDMI has the issue I'm describing.)

Many thanks, Ben
