Lilliput A7S 7" Full HD HDMI On-Camera Monitor with 4K Camera Assist

The A7S is the camera-assist monitor for a rig that shoots 4K but does not need SDI. Its HDMI 1.4 input takes 2160p at 24, 25 and 30 and scales it onto a 7-inch 1920 x 1200 panel, so the operator judges focus and framing on the full frame rather than a phone-sized preview. At 500 cd/m2 it holds up in shade and under practicals, though not in open sun.

A matching HDMI loop output passes the same signal on to a recorder or a director's display. The body is 20.5 mm thick and weighs 320 grams, which keeps it viable on a gimbal, and it runs from DC 7-24V or an NP-F battery at 12 W. Audio is available on the 3.5 mm jack or the built-in speaker.
