LCD - Detail, Accuracy, Brightness.

Discerning cinematographers and videographers need high-resolution, color-accurate, sunlight-viewable monitoring with a wide angle of view.

The PIX-E Series monitors excel in all those aspects with their IPS, 500 nit, 1920x1080 (5-inch) and 1920x1200 (7-inch) LCD displays.

TapZoom™

Its never been faster to zoom in and check focus!

TapZoom provides instant 2x or 4x zoom to where you tap on the touchscreen. Tap again to zoom out.

Once zoomed in, tap on the screen in the direction of a moving subject to keep it centered - the perfect tool for quickly checking focus when an actor lands short or overruns a mark

Outstanding Recording Capabilities

The 4K-compatible PIX-E Series are the first on-camera monitors to offer the full range of Apple ProRes codecs including the highest quality Apple ProRes 4444 XQ*. This is a 12-bit codec designed to preserve the detail in wide dynamic range imagery captured by today's high performance digital image sensors.

PIX-E can record 4K up to 24 fps, UHD up to 30 fps and 1080p or 720p up to 60 fps.

* Available only on the PIX-E5 and PIX-E7 models.

SpeedDrive™ Recording and File Delivery

The PIX-E records to the affordable, super fast SpeedDrive, an industry standard mSATA drive contained within a custom-designed enclosure. The SpeedDrive, which plugs directly into the PIX-E, doubles as a USB 3.0 thumb drive for very high speed offload to any computer without the need for a special cable or drive docking station.

Two SpeedDrive options are available, a 240 GB SpeedDrive and an Enclosure-Only version that allows the user to choose and easily fit any size of mSATA drive. mSATA drives are available in sizes ranging from 128 GB to 1 TB.

Best-of-Both-Worlds User Interface

Some functions are better controlled via touchscreen and others by real buttons. PIX-E incorporates both types of control. The touchscreen is best used when interacting directly with a specific area of the displayed image such as zooming in to a point of interest with TapZoom.

Buttons allow the operator to locate a control without looking and instant tactile response leaves no doubt a function has been activated. Button control is well suited to commands such as 'Record' where failure to activate can be catastrophic.

Mechanical Construction and Powering

With their compact, die-cast metal chassis, nutted connectors, and an LCD protected by scratch-resistant and optically-bonded Gorilla Glass 2, the PIX-E field recording monitors are designed to withstand the most extreme and demanding production environments.

The PIX-E monitors are powered by external DC (10-34V) or dual L-mount Sony batteries with powering seamlessly switching from one source to another should one become depleted or removed.

PIX-E Accessories

PIX-LR

The PIX-LR audio interface is a screw-on accessory that provides PIX-E monitors with two XLR inputs and outputs, featuring Sound Devices-caliber mic preamps, hyper-accurate LED metering, and dedicated transport and gain controls.

SpeedDrive

The SpeedDrive, which uses standard mSATA SSD drives, plugs directly into the PIX-E and doubles as a USB 3.0 thumb drive for very high speed offload to any computer.

PIX-E KIT

The PIX-E Kit includes a hard case, sun hood, articulating arm, two SpeedDrives, two Sony-compatible L-mount batteries, USB3 Y-cable, and video I/O cables.
