SmallHD's PageOS Revolution: Streamlining On-Set Monitoring
The Ultimate Upgrade for On-Set Efficiency
SmallHD has unleashed a game-changing update to its PageOS software, promising to revolutionize the way crews manage their monitoring systems. This free update is a game-changer, designed to streamline setup processes and ensure consistent, reliable monitoring throughout production.
Key Features Unveiled
Fleet Control: Imagine managing an entire fleet of monitors with ease! The Fleet Control app lets you update firmware, push tools, and maintain color consistency across all monitors, saving precious time and effort.
Portrait Mode: Vertical shooting just got a whole lot easier. Portrait mode optimizes menus for vertical content, ensuring a seamless experience for crews working with this format.
Enhanced Camera Control: SmallHD has expanded its camera control capabilities, allowing direct adjustment of Canon settings (C70, C80, C300mkIII, C400, and C500mkII) from the monitor. This feature is a game-changer for Canon users, providing precise control over their camera settings.
Dial Assignments: Quantum and Ultra 10 series monitors now offer customizable dial assignments. Users can assign dials to settings like ISO, shutter speed, white balance, or ND changes, providing quick, intuitive control over critical camera parameters.
Share Graded Looks: The ability to share graded looks from the production monitor to all village monitors is a powerful tool. It ensures a consistent look across the entire production, no matter the number of monitors in use.
The Impact on On-Set Workflows
Matt Eidenbock, SmallHD's product manager, sums it up perfectly: "This PageOS update is all about removing friction. From managing an entire fleet of monitors to supporting vertical content and camera control, crews can now focus more on the shot and less on gear configuration."
"Monitoring is about trust, and this update gives crews the confidence that their monitors are set up correctly and ready to adapt to any production challenges."
