One of the more popular on-set monitors currently available for film and video pros is the Ultra 7 from SmallHD. Designed to be an ultra-bright option for those looking to integrate a monitor into their production rigs, the Ultra 7 is a solid option for pros looking for the bright support they need on their sets.
But, alas, they’ve been a bit personality-free without multi-color model options. That is—until now.
SmallHD just announced that they’re introducing custom colors for their Ultra 7 models with ten different options to choose from. Let’s take a look at what these options are, what they look like, and why you might want to consider one (or multiple) for you.
SmallHD Ultra 7 Monitors
The SmallHD Ultra 7 has proven to be popular thanks to its 2300 cd/m² display for viewing in just about any indoor or outdoor environment. These 7″ monitors also feature bright 2300 cd/m² displays, 1920×1200 touchscreen LCDs, HDMI and 6G-SDI inputs/outputs that support up to 4K, camera control options, tactile buttons, and 10-bit 4:2:2 Rec. 709 color processing.
They also easily work with ARRI, Sony, and RED cinema cameras thanks to the 5-pin USB and Ethernet control ports. Now, on top of all that, the monitors will come in 10 different color options.
Ultra 7 Color Options
These options will be available for all variations of the Ultra 7 and will include the following options:
- Red
- Blue
- Green
- Yellow
- Olive Green
- Orange
- Teal
- Purple
- Pink
- Gray
- Black (Original)
These color models will even feature a custom color antenna band to go along with the unit’s colors as well. These color models are available on SmallHD’s website and look to cost around $200 more than the regular base options. You can review all of them here.
