Stunning color reproduction. Extreme contrasts with infinite blacks and pristine highlights. The versatile SmallHD 4K Production series of monitors combines the 4K HDR post-production viewing experience with the rugged construction needed for physical production environments. SmallHD 4K Production Monitors are powered by PageOS, the most sophisticated SmallHD toolset yet. We've updated PageOS for simplicity and speed, and streamlined color-calibration with Color Pipe. PageOS includes significant upgrades including our 4K production monitors, look around camera control, and Calman integration.
