SmallHD, a US-based company manufacturing innovative monitors, has added a Cine 18 4K/Ultra HD (UHD) High-Bright Monitor to its 4K/UHD monitor portfolio. Designed to support modern 4K/UHD workflows, Cine 18 features a lightweight aluminium-unibody chassis housing an 18-inch edge-lit LCD screen with 4K/UHD resolution, 10-bit colour depth, Rec. 709 coverage, 1,100 nits brightness, 1,000:1 contrast ratio, 240 PPI and a 178-degree viewing angle.
“Cine 18 fills that size gap between the Cine 13 and Cine 24 in the SmallHD 4K/UHD monitor line-up, providing a portable, daylight-viewable 4K/UHD monitoring solution in an adaptable form factor,” said Dave Bredbury, Product Manager for CS Cine. “It’s a next-level replacement for SmallHD’s 1703 P3X HD Monitor, but with significant upgrades in sharpness, resolution and form-factor.”
SmallHD’s Cine 18 comes 4K/UHD-ready with 4x 12G/6G/3G/HD-SDI inputs and outputs, as well as hot-swappable power inputs, multiple accessory power points, 4x removable cheese mounting sticks and a removable bottom cheese mounting rail for added versatility.
Also included is the PageOS software toolset that offers 4K/UHD high dynamic range (HDR) waveform and scopes, Colour Pipe HDR colour rendering, the Monitor Calibration Wizard, and more.
“Passionate user feedback inspired us to make the Cine 18 as future-proof as possible,” said Bredbury. “Feedback for the Cine 13 and 24 has been fantastic, so it is gratifying to be able to hit that sweet spot in the Cine series — a monitor big enough for Video Village, bright enough for daylight viewing, lightweight and durable enough for challenging locations, and premium enough to be part of the SmallHD ecosystem.”
