Handgun-proof camera monitor!? - SmallHD Booth

This NAB 2016 footage showcases SmallHD’s new HDR camera monitors available in 17-inch Model A, 24-inch, and 32-inch sizes, all housed in a rugged aluminum chassis. The video emphasizes durability, revealing that these monitors have been torture tested to withstand harsh production environments, including being driven over by a truck and shot with a handgun, as well as being struck with a baseball bat. In addition to robustness, SmallHD updates the user interface with an integrated page UI system that lets users switch between multiple displays or different looks and settings, and the new window mode enables four pages to be shown simultaneously for quick cross-comparison. A rail system on the back allows accessories like wireless display modules to be mounted, reducing cable clutter for on-site shoots. The presenters discuss the potential of bringing one of these monitors into their office for hands-on testing and invite viewer feedback in the comments, while crediting Sennheiser and Kingston for sponsor support during NAB coverage. Overall, the video combines product teaser, ruggedness claims, and feature highlights to position SmallHD’s HDR monitors as resilient, studio-to-field workflow tools that can adapt to demanding production environments, with a call to audience for further testing and review within their own setups.
