Video Devices has announced the global launch of the PIX-E7 4K recording field monitor, for broadcast.



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 USB-based SpeedDrive — a custom-made enclosure that holds an industry standard mSATA solid-state drive.

The PIX-E7 also accepts external time codes 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 seven-inch PIX-E7 is the largest model in the PIX-E Series, joining the five-inch PIX-E5 and PIX-E5H.

“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,” said Paul Isaacs, director, product management and design, Sound Devices.

“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.”
