SmallHD announces the new OLED 16 production monitor

Perfectly sized for streamlined DIT and DP workflows, OLED 16 gives you infinite contrast, true blacks, and precise color reproduction with zero haloing.

A new OLED 4K production monitor with a 16” display, the OLED 16 from SmallHD offers 3840 x 2160 (UHD) resolution, true 10-bit color (99% DCI-P3 / 97% Rec.2020), and a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio for critical exposure control and shadow detail in a lightweight, portable, rugged form factor that is an optimal panel size for side-by-side viewing and is designed to mount easily on DIT carts, DP stands, or at Video Village.

“Our new OLED 16 4K Monitor addresses the need for infinite contrast, true blacks, shadow detail, precise color reproduction, and zero haloing in a form factor able to withstand the rigors of production,” said Matt Eidenbock, Product Manager for SmallHD. “Designed to enhance DIT and DP workflows, it’s lightweight, rugged, and comes with professional-grade I/O, multiple mounting points, integrated WiFi functionality, and four multi-function dials that let users customize the way they navigate our award-winning PageOS toolkit.”

The unibody chassis is crafted from aircraft-grade aluminum, and the monitor weighs in at 10.4 lbs (4.72 kgs). A Smart Rail Connector and 100mm VESA-compatible mount offer multiple mounting points for versatile power and accessory configurations. OLED 16 comes integrated with professional-grade I/O, including: 4x 12G-SDI in/out, 1x HDMI 2.0 in/out, 1x 4-pin XLR power input, 1x USB 2.0 (5V / 2.4A), 1x USB (5V / 1.5A), 1x USB-C (5V / 1.5A), RP-SMA Wifi Antenna Connector, 1x RJ45 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Ethernet and 2x 2-pin locking outputs to power external devices like Teradek wireless solutions.

A joystick/wheel, function/menu buttons, and four machined dials on the lower front of the monitor give OLED 16 users unprecedented customizable control over the included PageOS toolkit, including Waveform, Vectorscope, EL Zone, Multiview, False Color, LUT workflows, and more.

“Our customers repeatedly asked if we could combine OLED’s unmatched contrast and reference-quality color accuracy with tactile customization dials, set-ready durability, and integrated WiFi in that sweet-spot 16” panel size,” reflects Eidenbock. “We listened, got to work, and now we’re really excited to share the results.”
