SmallHD recently released a new firmware for most of its on-camera and production monitors: PageOS v5.2.1. The v5.2.1 is minor and came out a couple of weeks after the initial v5.2.0 version. PageOS v5.2 fixes numerous bugs and adds new features, like the support for the Shotover addon on 4K Production Monitors. So let’s take a closer look at everything new!
