Even with OLED as its bigger brother, the LCD in our AC7 series has nothing to be ashamed of. Sporting an 8-bit, IPS, LED-backlit display it is a marked improvement over our DP6 in nearly every respect.

8-Bit

8-bit doesn’t sound like much more than 6-bit, but let’s put it this way; 8-bit means you get 64 times the amount of displayable colours than current 5.6inch HD monitors.

True HD 720P

You didn’t expect us to skimp here, did you? Each AC7 ships with native 1280x800 resolution so you don’t have to worry about your built-in on-camera LCD telling you your shot is in focus when it is in fact, not.

Compact Frame

Even with a bigger screen, the AC7 (LCD) is barely any larger than our DP6 and nearly the same weight, meaning more room in the gear bag.

Easy to use Menu

Continuing to go beyond the typical “field monitor” design, we’ve come up with a simple, ergonomic menu navigation system unlike any other field monitor on the market. Much like the button/scroll-wheel layout of most DSLR cameras, it offers an incredibly natural feel, and more importantly is intuitive enough for anyone to learn quickly. As proof of its simplicity, the operator can carry the AC7 and navigate through its menu simultaneously, using only one hand. 

User Programable Buttons

Every camera operator, AC or DP has their own methods that allow them to work comfortably; with that in mind we included two user-defined function buttons which can be mapped to instantly switch on or off the effect of your choice, from Focus Assist+ to False Colour to 1:1 Mapping and more.

Field Update Firmware

As with all of SmallHD’s recent products, we’ve created a way to add new features to the AC7’s menu system through a simple USB firmware interface. We’ll always be working on software improvements, and as a result, your feedback will directly influence the development of features.

Backlight Adjustment

Simple and novel, the backlight brightness adjustment allows you to choose whether to crank things up for bright, outdoor situations, or turn things back to conserve battery when in a studio setting. (ONLY Available on LCD Version)
