JVC Unveils ProHD Portable Monitor Series

JVC Professional Products Co. today announced the DT-X71 Series of portable ProHD LCD monitors. Ideal for field and studio applications, the new 7-inch AC/DC monitors offer 1024×600 resolution with a 160-degree viewing angle — and can display 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i  and 1080p video signals at a variety of frame rates.

There are three models in the DT-X71 series, with scaled I/O options and features for specific needs. The basic DT-X71C model offers one HDMI and one composite video input, while the DT-X71H adds two HD/SD-SDI inputs and an HD/SD-SDI loop through output. The DT-X71F includes an additional HD/SD-SDI loop through output and one HDMI converted to SDI output. All three models include stereo audio input.

Other features include an adjustable 16:9/4:3 display, dual three-color tally lights, underscan and overscan, image flip, customer editable video title, Canon DSLR scale zoom-in, and safe mark display. The DT-X71F, the most feature-rich model in the series, also includes a waveform, vector scope, RGB histogram, red/blue peaking focus assist, zebra, false color, blue only, internal color bars, image rotation, and 16-channel SDI (two-channel HDMI) audio meter.

Each monitor is powered via a four-pin XLR 12V DC connector with included AC adapter or an optional snap-on JVC BN-VF823USP 7.2V battery. DT-X71 Series monitors also ship with a cold shoe mounting adaptor and hood.

Along with the new HZ-HM150VZR ProHD remote lens control, the DT-X71 series is part of JVC’s new ProHD Compact Studio system, which configures the GY-HM150 ProHD handheld camcorder for studio environments. When mounted to the GY-HM150, the DT-X71 serves as a full-size studio camera monitor.

The DT-X71C has a suggested list price of $595, the DT-X71H is priced at $1,095, and the DT-X71F is priced at $1,695. All models are now available.
