NAB 2022 is already in the rearview mirror, but we have a few more interesting interviews here about the latest gear for filmmakers. SmallHD showed its Cine 18 and OLED 27 production monitors, and we had the opportunity to check them out in person. More monitors from SmallHD! To get you started, let’s review the company’s three main lines of (production) monitors: the Cine line, the OLED line, and the Vision line of monitors. Each line has its own features and, of course, comes in different sizes. The main goal was to provide each filmmaker with a proper monitor for their specific needs, regardless of their role on set. For example, the Cine line stands for high brightness and outdoor viewability. OLED panels offer high contrast ratios and true blacks, and the Vision line is all about HDR monitoring on set.

The previous 17-inch model (1703 P3X) had to be discontinued because the manufacturer stopped producing the panel needed, so SmallHD had to source an equivalent panel, but one that matched the color science of the previous 1703 model. The Cine 18 offers the following specifications: Brightness: 1100nitsScreen Size: 18.4in / 46.7cmBit Depth: 10-bit (8+2)Color: 100% REC. 709 / 98% DCI-P3Resolution: 3840 x 2160 SmallHD Cine 18.
