  • Software That Eliminates Hardware
    Pagebuilder OS enables you to send your video signal downstream via the Output Preview page. Any LUTs applied to the Output Preview page will also be mirrored downstream. Easily convert HDMI/SDI signals with Cross Conversion.
  • HD Scopes with Pixel Accurate Data Analysis
    Display up to three, fully customizable Scopes on screen at a time. Utilize Colour Picker to show raw pixel values from the displayed video.
  • Expose with Confidence
    Exposure Assist supports both ARRI and Spectrum based false colour, with built in IRE guides for reference. Utilize 2x Zebra to warn you when reaching a brightness level of your choosing. This is great for matching exposure across shots and cameras.
  • Dual View
    Monitor two input sources simultaneously. You can apply LUT’s and tools to each source individually. Great for monitoring A/B cameras or pre and post LUT footage. You can also apply tools to each page individually.
  • Custom Focus Assist & Peaking Tools
    Focus assist creates a bright highlight on in-focus subject matter; highly recommended when focusing on the fly. Focus Peaking increases the image sharpness allowing more detailed focusing. Change your colour and intensity of your focus tools.

Completing the Sony A7S MK III

Adapting the Sony A7S MK III for video and film making use requires thought and professional accessories. Here are our picks… Power Runtime is always a consideration with large sensor cameras, and the native Sony NP-FZ100 battery’s 17Wh capacity is limiting. An extremely popular device, CoreSWX’s 49Wh Powerbase Edge battery attaches to the bottom of the camera and provides around 8 hours of continuous shooting.

Sony FX9 Accessory Guide

There is no doubt that the Sony FX9 is a tremendously significant camcorder and as a new decade begins Holdan’s manufacturers are beginning to ship some fantastic new accessories to increase its already impressive capabilities. Power up There will be a few V-lock adaptors for the FX9 in the coming weeks, but Core SWX are confident their CXV-FX9 is the best option. It has a low battery warning LED, and XLR input to allow for hot-swapping between external and onboard power and being made of aluminium it’s more robust than plastic alternatives. As for the weight, 544g still isn’t heavy and most users prefer it to provide a better-balanced rig.

Ver. 2.36

Improvement

  1. Google Chrome browser is available on the connected PC.
  2. GUI of setting the NDI|HX parameter is improved.
  3. For very complicated images that are rarely used, IP streaming transmission could not be completed in NDI|HX mode. The problem is fixed.

OS3 v3.4.0

Features Added:

  1. Teradek RT CTL1 Overlay showing system information on SmallHD monitors (ADD NEW TOOL > ADDONS > TERADEK RT) .
  2. Shotover Gimbal Overlay showing system system information on SmallHD monitors ((ADD NEW TOOL > ADDONS > GIMBALOVERLAY).
  3. Two new anamorphic options: 2.5x and .75x The .75x option can be used to force 4:3 video to display correctly on SmallHD monitors.
  4. Simultaneous Battery Drain: In the power settings menu, an option named “DUAL BATTERY DRAIN” will cause both batteries to be drained simultaneously. This will keep the output voltage as high as possible and extend the duration a SmallHD FOCUS 7 monitor can power a camera.

Improvements:

  1. Waveform & Vectorscope now have description paragraphs.
  2. Battery Meter functionality has been improved.
  3. Wireless connectivity icon for TX and RX units - Icon will appear Green when paired and sending/receiving signal. Icon will appear Red when paired but not sending or receiving video signal.

Bugs Fixed:

  1. When multiple tools of the same type are on a page, the monitor will more consistently return to the correct state after a power cycle. Previously there was a chance that a tool would be restored in the ‘off’ state when it should be ‘on’.
  2. Multi-finger swiping would fail while the toolbar preview was active.
  3. Fixed a bug that occured when LOG C color space was selected when the monitor was powered cycled.
  4. Fixed some bugs in the colorspace menu.
