The PageOS 4 interface allows users to configure and assign specific image analyzing tools and/ or features to up to eight customizable pages. Users can access those tools by navigating to the corresponding page on the monitor, instead of enabling or disabling features individually.
General Layout
Pages View
The ‘Pages View’ offers a zoomed-out perspective of all configured pages, allowing organization and naming to ensure the most efficient overall setup.
Settings
Adjust a wide range of global monitor settings.
Dashboard
The Dashboard provides access to the most commonly-used settings such as Input, Volume and Backlight. The Dashboard can be disabled via Full Settings > Dashboard.
Basic Navigation
Touch Screen
PageOS has an easy-to-navigate touchscreen that works just like your smartphone.
- Pinch to zoom
- Swipe left and right between custom pages
- Slide your finger down for a view of all your preset pages
- Swipe all the way left to access your deep settings menu (Calibration, Profiles, etc)
Adding New Pages
To create a new page from either a fresh workspace, a template, or a specific utility, navigate to the right-hand side of the Pages View.
Add New Tool to a Page
Tap your screen while on any page to reveal the toolbar. Press the plus sign that appears on the left side of the page. Select the tool you want to be added to that page.
Activating Tools
Tap your screen while on any page to reveal the toolbar. Then select the tool you want to activate. To adjust the custom settings of that tool press the arrow that appears next to the name of the tool.
Joystick / Button
Some Smart 5 models are equipped with a Joystick and Buttons which can also be used for navigation if desired.
EL Zone
EL Zone is a stop-based exposure map tool—developed in collaboration with legendary cinematographer Ed Lachman, ASC that works like a virtual spot meter, replacing IRE exposure values with stops. Sensor data from the camera provides a reference point, and a false color represents each stop above and below 18% gray, allowing for easier, more intuitive on-set communication.
EL Zone is only possible to use if you are feeding your SmallHD monitor a Log signal. It doesn’t work if you are inputting a signal with a LUT enabled.
To enable EL Zone, make sure you create a color pipe in your monitor's settings menu. You will need to send the monitor a LOG signal and select the log signal that you will be sending it. NOTE: Make sure you select "Do Not Convert" in the Color pipe options.
Settings: Input and Output

Select an input to display its image -- configure a source to unlock log conversions into HDR and SDR color spaces.
Color Pipe
