THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING ELVID.

The Elvid FieldVision OCM-101-4KH puts a lightweight yet sophisticated 10-inch 4K monitor right on top of your camera. Unlike the tiny integrated screens of DSLR and pro video cameras and camcorders, this monitor will deliver a large, bright, and color-accurate image along with the features to ensure the images you capture are professional and flawless.

The FieldVision OCM-101-4KH can display signals up to UHD 4K (3840 × 2160) and DCI 4K (4096 × 2160). The LCD panel's native resolution of 1920 × 1200 provides a sharp image and facilitates precise color rendering. It offers a native aspect ratio of 16:10, but you can set the screen to your preferred size, along with four zoom presets. In addition, pixel-to-pixel mode gives you the actual quality of 4K resolution in order to see the fine details of your image. Advanced tools like Check Field help calibrate the monitor, and a dedicated DSLR menu mode scales and positions the incoming video signal when shooting with a DSLR.

Two programmable function buttons provide quick shortcuts to the tools you want at your fingertips. The extensive on-screen menus make it easy to adjust your image, and they offer adjustments for brightness, contrast, tint, sharpness, color temperature, and saturation, as well as broadcast-specific features like safety frame markers and multiple display formats.
