Video Devices Highly Anticipated PIX-E7 Now Shipping posted: 29/12/2015
PIX-E Series of Recording Field Monitors Welcomes New Seven-Inch Model to the Precision Monitoring and Advanced 4K Recording Family
Video Devices is pleased to announce that the PIX-E7 4K recording field monitor is now shipping worldwide. The seven-inch PIX-E7 is the largest model in the PIX-E Series, joining the five-inch PIX-E5 and PIX-E5H.
The 4K-compatible PIX-E7 offers a full suite of precision monitoring tools, SDI and HDMI I/O, plus the ability to record all available Apple ProRes codecs, up to 4444 XQ 12-bit. The PIX-E7, like the PIX-E5 and PIX-E5H, is also compatible with the innovative, super fast USB-based SpeedDrive - a custom-made enclosure that holds an industry standard mSATA solid-state drive. The monitor incorporates a best-of-both-worlds user interface that combines easy-to-access tactile buttons with an intuitive touch screen. The PIX-E7 also accepts external timecode via a BNC linear input connection, and features a second SDI In, and a general purpose input/output port for tally light and remote control workflows.
The PIX-E line of recording field monitors has been extremely well received, and we are thrilled to announce that the PIX-E7 is now available, says Paul Isaacs, Director of Product Management and Design, Sound Devices, LLC. The PIX-E7 caters to a diverse range of production professionals - from directors of photography to camera operators or video assist technicians, who are operating DSLRs and larger cinema-style cameras. Our renowned Sound Devices' quality construction was used in the design and build, with a die-cast metal chassis and damage-resistant screen protected by Gorilla Glass 2, addressing the need for a high-quality, durable recording monitor, that can hold up to the most demanding of production environments.
The PIX-E7 joins the rest of the PIX-E Series in providing an impressive suite of monitoring tools, such as TapZoom for unrivaled focusing speed; false colors and zebras to help set exposure; guide markers for framing; and a range of scopes including waveform, histogram, and vectorscope. The PIX-E family of recording monitors also features several manufacturer-specific, standard lookup tables (LUTs). Custom LUTs may also be used via SD card or SpeedDrive.
Since the PIX-E Series was first introduced, Video Devices has released several feature enhancements through regular firmware updates. With the latest update (v1.20), the SDI Out on the PIX-E7 and PIX-E5 supports interlace (1080i) and PsF. Other recent updates include additional feature enhancements, such as: 6G-SDI to support 4K over a single SDI cable for cameras like the Blackmagic URSA . All three PIX-E models offer higher frame rate recording of 1080p 120fps via HDMI - ideal for capturing slow motion footage via HDMI, enhanced playback capabilities such as jog, shuttle, and FF/REW, 4:3 anamorphic desqueeze, 3:2 pulldown removal, external timecode, and the ability to enable or disable aLUT on an SDI output.
Download the latest firmware v1.20: http://www.videodevices.com/support/downloads/pix-e5-firmware.
SpeedDrive is a unique and groundbreaking accessory that was designed for the PIX-E Series. When connected to the rear of the monitor, the SpeedDrive's USB 3.0 interface automatically switches to a SATA interface, essential for recording continuous, high-data-rate 4K video. Users can then simply unplug it from the back of PIX-E7 and plug it into any USB computer port to transfer data at very fast USB 3.0 rates; no special card reader or docking station is needed. Two SpeedDrive options are available: a 240 GB SpeedDrive (mSATA drive in the sleek enclosure) or an enclosure-only version that allows the user to choose any approved, third-party 128 GB to 1 TB mSATA drive.
Founded in 1998, Sound Devices, LLC, designs both Sound Devices audio products and Video Devices video products.
