Premium Members chris bangma Posted June 12, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 We know the screen supplier for them, since we will also be getting the same screen. Delivery from the screen manufacturer isnt for another 2 months. Cinetronic will have a higher brightness version of the screen though.

Premium Members Alan Rencher Posted June 12, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 So it isn't the same screen. Maybe their screen is shipping now, and your "higher brightness" screen is shipping in two months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Jens Piotrowski SOC Posted June 12, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 Alan, FYI: a couple of basics on LCD panels.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid-crystal_display  When Chris is talking about screen he means the matrix portion of the screen and that is the same for both Cinetronic and smallHD. What Chris does is to replace the backlight with a brighter one and optically bond the screen to the front glass element among other things.

David Bredbury Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 (edited) Just wanted to let you guys know that we already have the panels in-house, and the backlight-upgrading is taking place as I type this. The better news is that shipping for HB-SX pre-orders are scheduled to start in mid-July. This does mean that there will be a several week back-order for those who have not placed a pre-order, though. We will ship the pre-orders first.  To be clear, the brightness on this model is listed at 1500 NITS, but can exceed its listed brightness.  The DP7-Pro OLED-SX monitors will be shipping in 2-3 weeks for those that have placed a pre-order.  Please don't hesitate to contact our Support Team if you have questions about your pre-order! support@smallhd.com  Thanks, DaveSmallHD Team Edited June 12, 2013 by David Bredbury 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOT Simon Blouin Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 Thanks for clarifying this Dave. Sadly, I'll have to pass on this one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Osvaldo Silvera SOC Posted July 1, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 Any updates on the DP7 High Brightness monitor? Still on track to ship out units in a couple of weeks? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Alan Rencher Posted July 10, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 Here's a video of the features of the DP7: Â https://vimeo.com/70042197 Â They don't touch on the digital level for the HB, which is disappointing. I'm hoping that they build an interface to the X-port that allows the use of an external sensor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Alan Rencher Posted July 10, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 I just got this response from SmallHD Re: Digital Level: Â Hi Alan! Yes, the DP7-PRO OLED-SX will be gyroscopically dampened as of the next major software update, which is scheduled for the end of this month (the week of the 22nd). As far an integrated X-Port accessory, that's something that hasn't been decided - or really asked for yet. It's been discussed, and is very possibly, but is not definite yet. I've passed your interest along to our CTO and the design team so they are aware of the need. Thanks so much for your feedback! Please let me know if there's anything else I can answer for you. Best, KristenSmallHD Team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say that I saw the High Bright model at their booth at Cinegear and it was the most daylight viewable of any that I saw that day. Wish the OLED could match that.

Premium Members Alan Rencher Posted July 11, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 The feature set is nearly identical to the high bright, so this video can translate to that model well enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Frederic Chamberland Posted July 11, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 I received the OLED DP-7 PRO two days ago. Bought it as an on board monitor, not for steadicam monitoring. It's got an amazing screen and the color balance was almost perfect out of the box. What I noticed is the user interface has been very well tough out. Menus appear very clearly and going thru them is intuitive and blazing fast with the scroll wheel. I wished my Cinetronic Gen 2 had something similar. Also a nice feature is a floating warning when you loose the signal . Not a blank screen or a blue screen but an actual pop up line crossing the frame stating what the problem is. Â The gorilla glass feels exactly like an Iphone but is also a real mirror . Aluminum casing is nice and feels solid but the thing is VERY light. And of course , it has so many accessories available . Now I will put it thru hell for the next 2 or 3 weeks and will report on performance afterwards. Right now, this OLED monitor is the best screen I have seen for on board monitoring yet ( right next to the Rainbow HD from Transvideo) but I want to field test it before raising my thumbs. Â Cheers, Â Frederic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Osvaldo Silvera SOC Posted July 11, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 As soon as there are some shipped I'd love to hear comments from actual operators on the High Bright DP7 model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Alan Rencher Posted July 11, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 I have the high bright on pre order, do I'll put it through the paces as soon as possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We figured we can make everything pretty at any point, but wanted to get the monitor in the hands of people as soon as we could, so they would have something usable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
