Brand New DirectClear Platform
KineMON-7U II processes HD video with a new DirectClear platform. DirectClear utilizes powerful FPGA with low power consumption as its basic framework to optimize image processing. It features:
- Ultra-low Latency: Monitoring latency is reduced 50% compared to traditional field monitors; especially with MAVO LF/MAVO/TERRA 4K in KineOS6.3, the latency of the whole camera system is relatively low in order to control dynamic image accurately
- Fast Response: Boot up and power off almost instantly, while traditional monitors often need 5-10 seconds to boot up
- Low Power Consumption: Power consumption of the monitor is largely reduced. KineMON-7U II uses no more than 6W when at full brightness, while traditional monitors use up to 18W. KineMON-7U II can stay at low temperatures without additional cooling
- True and Natural Color: KineMON-7U adopts natural rendering to restore details and natural colors to the image instead of additional processing like deliberate sharpness and oversaturation, ensuring your footage is displayed in its true form
While employing the DirectClear platform, KineEVF and KineMON-5U II surpass other traditional monitors, especially when working with Kinefinity cameras.
Durability and Simple Connection
KineMON-7U II features a tempered glass screen and rugged milled aluminum casing for better heat dissipation.
KineMON-7U has a standard 1/4″ threaded hole between two pin-holes ensuring a secure mounting point. Using appropriate accessories, KineMON-7U will meet your needs in these typical scenarios:
- KineMON Swivel Mount: Mount the monitor directly to the front of the camera body and top plate of TERRA/MAVO KineKIT;
- KineMON Cold-Shoe Mount: Mount the monitor directly to any a cold shoe socket.
- Movcam Quick Plate: Mount directly to the right side of the monitor, the quick plate works with Movcam’s new EVF bracket without tools
- 6-inch Cine Arm: Mount the monitor to any arm with ¼”-20 screw for maximum customization
2000nit Full Lamination&High Brightness Screen
Work indoors or outdoors with KineMON-7U’s 2000nit high brightness screen. Even when competing with direct sunlight, filmmakers can still check exposure and composition as normal.
The ultra-bright monitor features OCR Full Lamination crafted with strong, transmissive tempered glass to generate higher light transmission and lower light reflection, keeping your image clear and bright even under sunlight. The KineMon-7U also features a grease-proof AF Coating on the glass surface, keeping it easy to clean.
