IPS LCD – Remarkable details, Ultimate Color Accuracy, and Brightness Level.
In the quick growing Filmmaking industry, monitor hardware manufacturers trying to serve high & higher resolution of the used IPS matrix, with true and accurate representing their “vivid” colors. The IPS Principal allows wider angles in off-axis view, with easily visible and visualizing a sharp image on a direct sunlight.
The PIX 240i – 5″ Field Monitor excels in all those aspects with IPS Matrix LCD Display.
Let see the Video Devices: PIX 240i Field monitor.
IPS Field Monitor, specially designed for Production Cameras:
With its 5-inch diagonal, 800 x 480 pixels resolution and, IPS matrix display – the PIX 240i is simply the right field monitor for production cameras.
- 2-Levels of Zebra Effect,
- 12-Steps of False Color Mode,
- 1:1 Pixels Viewing,
- Peaking.
PIC. 1 3D Model – uncovering the device
The IPS displays represent accurately the whole sRGB color range and provide ultimate off-axis visibility with extremely wide angles.
On screen data list:
- File Type information,
- Frame Rate Details,
- Metering Detailed information,
- Time-code [can be sent to the SDI output and HDMI output],
- Record progress and status information [can be sent to the SDI output and HDMI output].
PIC. 2 SONY Compatible L-Mount Batteries – 2 Mount Places and Whisper Quiet FAN
Device Powering:
The PIX 240i is powered by one or two Sony-compatible (L-mount) lithium-ion batteries or just by external Power supply source with Input Voltage Range DC [ 10 V ÷18 V ].
Good in that system using two battery mounts is they are connected parallelly. This allows hot swapping one-by-one the batteries, during the real operation, without any interruptions and power losses.
On PIC. 2 are shown the batteries mounts and, one is used.

Optimal Audio Performance:
The Experts from Sound Devices provide on no-compromise way the best audio performance into their PIX 240i device
This small “sound expert” have full-sized XLR audio inputs. They accept both microphone or line level signals. Microphone-level inputs offer 48 V phantom power, input limiters, and sweepable high-pass filters. Inputs can also be set to accept AES3 digital audio, up to four channels.
There also have an input limiter circuits, and high-pass filters.
Inputs covering and functionality of up to 4 AES3 digital audio channels. The Experts from Sound Devices integrate and very usable feature: The selectable audio delay. It means the device can be adjusted to provide precise and accurate synchronization between the audio and video streaming signals.
PIC. 4 The Rotary Knob View
PIX 240i – Controls:
On right side panel is placed the rotary knob ( see PIC. 4 ). It is a comfortable and flexible way to control the navigation menu and settings.
On the bottom side of the front panel are inserted 4+1 backlighted tactile action buttons:
- [Record],
- [Stop],
- [Play],
- [Re-wind],
- Fast-Forward controls.
( see PIC. 5 )
PIC. 5 4+1 Backlighted Tactile Action Buttons
Buttons are large and allowing easy access protected, by example, with gloves hands.
The level of the backlight is user configurable.

Scaler & Frame Rate Converting via Hardware Mechanism:
PIC. 7 Hardware scaler and frame rate converter are integrated functions into the PIX 240i.
Described Device has integrated a powerful hardware mechanism to scaler and frame rate converting.
The PIX 240i is allowing Up, Down and Cross conversion, on a very Flexible way, to record files in user-customized rates. This is very useful when the camera is not supporting some capturing rate.
The PIX 240i allows hardware aspect ratio conversion, HD to SD, and backward.

Built-In Timecode Generator:
The device has integrated a high-quality timecode generator. It supports all commonly used frame rates and modes. Also, supports the Embedded timecode over HDMI and SDI interfaces.
Quick Time Format Videos Supporting:
Described device PIX 240i can record in Quicktime file format both and Apple ProRes or Avid DNxHD format.
The Device also supports recording in Apple ProRes 4444 codec format.
