mini lcd screen hdmi free sample

Elecrow’s own website suggests using this screen with a Raspberry Pi for gaming. We tested the display alongside Elecrow’s CrowPi L – itself a dedicated laptop hull that fits a full-size Raspberry Pi inside and which has an HDMI port. Rather unusually, the screen has a mini HDMI input.  Powering the screen additionally requires a mini USB to mini USB cable. This is less out of the ordinary and, at least, means the screen can be entirely powered by the hardware to which it’s connected, rather than requiring an external power source and plug. One of the more useful inclusions is an adjustable metal stand that can be used to cradle and prop up the display. The three-bar stand is hinged making it easy to angle and support the screen however you please. For the Raspberry Pi 4/400 user without a CrowPi L or laptop setup, however, hooking up this screen will require an adapter: Raspberry Pi 4 has a pair of micro HDMI ports, rather than the Elecrow’s HDMI to mini HDMI cable (with a mini HDMI port on the screen itself). These micro to mini adapters aren’t common, and it would be better if the screen itself had a more common full-size HDMI port.

Display-wise, when used as a secondary screen, the Elecrow portable display shows whatever is on the desktop, including folders, files, and the waste basket, but useful items such as the menu bar are only shown on the primary device. The display is clear and crisp, even at lower resolution settings, with generous viewing angles. It’s easy enough to switch between screens using the Appearance editor and Preferences drop-down menu in Raspberry Pi OS. Even if you do this, however, a web page you navigate to, for example, will display only on the other screen, even if you’ve specified that both monitors should show the same content and/or set the Elecrow as the primary display.

For entertainment duties, the maximum playback resolution of 1200 × 800  pixels combines with built-in speakers or an earphone socket. You’ll need to specify HDMI output rather than headphones by right-clicking the volume icon on-screen. Speaker sound was rather patchy, but better using earphones.

A second screen is helpful in all sorts of instances, and Elecrow’s portable version is clearly aimed at entertainment, what with its HDMI, speaker, and earphone connections. The mini HDMI connection and supplied full-size HDMI to mini HDMI cable mean you’ll need an HDMI to micro HDMI adapter for Raspberry Pi 4. That makes this quality display less useful than its bright screen and decent resolution would suggest.

The Feelworld Lut7 monitor is a great find for this price. The 2200nit Touch Screen is a MUST HAVE. I have been able to use it on bright, sunny, beach days without the need for an additional sun-hood because of how bright it gets. That brightness will also save you on those cloudy, overcast days. On-camera monitors tend to throw back a harsh, almost mirror-like, reflection where the Feelworld Lut7 is clean and easy to see (see video for an example and an unboxing). The 7inch screen is nice because it allows you to pull up other items like RGB Parade, Vectorscopes, Grids, Audio Levels, etc. and still have plenty of room to monitor your video (again see video example). This monitor has a lot of the professional features you would find on much pricier models at a more affordable price. False Colors, RGB Parade, Wave, Vectorscope, Audio Bars, Audio and HMDI Out, LUT support...I could go on an on. Again, for this price range it is a great monitor!

This model includes a bright wide gamut LCD for HDR as well as HDR scopes. Plus a locking power connector. This model also records to an SD card or USB‑C flash disks!

The 7" model has the same great features as the 5" 12G HDR, however supports a larger 7" HDR LCD screen. You also get 2 SD card recorders and recording to external USB‑C flash disks. Both Blackmagic Video Assist 12G models also record Blackmagic RAW from supported cameras.

All Video Assist models are dominated by a large touchscreen with all controls for recording, playback of clips, viewing scopes and setting focus assist features. Both 7" models are large enough to include analog inputs for audio and two SD card slots so you get continuous recording, with automatic recording to the second card. Both of the 12G models include 12G-SDI and Ultra HD HDMI connections and USB-C for recording direct to external flash media disks. All models include a rear tally light, a front panel speaker for clip playback and a headphone jack! Video Assist uses Sony L-Series batteries, and with 2 battery slots, you can change batteries without interrupting recording!

Traditional cameras are designed for shoulder mounted operation, so are a compromise. Hours spent leaning into a viewfinder for long tripod mounted shoots can be tough! Video Assist will transform your shooting style with an on-board rigged screen. It"s much more comfortable using a screen rigged to a position best suited for a shooting setup. Plus you get better situational awareness for the operator, assistant or director. With both 5" and 7" models, you choose the size of a rigged monitor that suits you best. Plus you"re also adding fantastic features such as focus zoom, focus peaking, zebras, histogram, false color, scopes, frame markers, frame guides, touchscreen and more!

With large and bright 5" and 7" touchscreens, Video Assist makes it incredibly easy to frame shots and accurately focus. The touchscreen displays critical information while you’re shooting including the timecode, transport control, audio meters and a histogram for exposure. You can also customize the LCD to add or remove overlays such as current filename, focus peaking, zebra, false color, frame guides, 3D LUTs and more. 3D LUTs support allows monitoring shots with the desired color and look, plus you can even "bake in" the LUT if you want to record it into the file. If you"re using Blackmagic RAW, the 3D LUT is only added into the metadata so it can be disabled in post production.

Blackmagic Video Assist is an ideal upgrade for cameras, as its bright display is bigger than the tiny displays found on consumer cameras, plus you"re also adding professional focus assist features and better quality file formats. Video Assist is also a great solution for professional cameras because you can use it to upgrade older broadcast cameras to modern file formats used on the latest editing software. You get support for all editing software as you can record in Apple ProRes and Avid DNx. You can even use Blackmagic RAW on supported cameras. With both HDMI and SDI inputs you can connect it to any consumer camera, broadcast camera or even DSLR cameras.

The innovative touchscreen LCD user interface provides incredible control. On screen, there are dedicated buttons for play, stop and record, plus a mini timeline for scrolling through your recordings. You can even image swipe to jog! The LCD includes a heads up display of timecode, video standard, media status as well as audio meters. Scopes can be enabled via the touchscreen as well as focus and exposure assist. There"s also an extensive range of settings all controlled from the large LCD. Plus you can load and save 3D LUTs!

Video Assist features a wide range of video and audio connections such as multi-rate SDI for SD, HD on all models and Ultra HD on the 12G-SDI models. HDMI is included for HDMI cameras and monitoring to consumer televisions and video projectors. The 7" model features Mini XLR inputs which are provided for audio input from microphones and external audio mixers. The USB-C connection lets you plug in external flash disks or SSDs for recording, which means you can get extremely long record durations because flash disks are often much larger than the physically smaller SD Cards. Video Assist even includes a 12V DC power connection and the 12G models include a locking power connector.

Video Assist records using standard open file formats so you don’t have to waste time transcoding media. Files are compatible with all post production software so you can work with the software of your choice, including DaVinci Resolve Studio. Recording works in industry standard 10-bit ProRes or DNx files in all formats and from all HDMI or SDI cameras, as well as 12-bit Blackmagic RAW on the 12G-SDI HDR models when connected to supported cameras. Blackmagic RAW is the fastest growing RAW format and developers can download and use the free Blackmagic RAW SDK to add support to their applications. Best of all media files work on all operating systems!

The Blackmagic Video Assist 12G models even include a USB-C expansion port so you can plug in an external flash disk for recording. USB‑C flash disks have massive capacity as they don"t suffer from any size constraint. Plus, it"s possible to record to the same disk you are using or editing, so you don"t need to waste time copying files before starting post production. Flash disks are so fast, they can record high data rate formats such as high frame rate Ultra HD. Imagine adding a Blackmagic MultiDock 10G for easy SSD compatibility so you can record across multiple disks as each disk fills. You even get on screen menus for managing external disks using the touch screen!

On the Video Assist 12G models you"ll be ready for the latest HDR workflows as they support the latest HDR standards and include an extremely bright screen with a wide color gamut. Plus the high brightness screen makes shooting outdoors in sunlight easy! The built in scopes even support HDR when required. Files are tagged with the correct HDR information which means SDI and HDMI inputs will also automatically detect HDR video standards. Static metadata PQ and HLG formats are handled according to the ST2084 standard. The bright LCD has a wider color gamut so it can handle both Rec. 2020 and Rec. 709 colorspaces. The Video Assist LCD color gamut can even handle 100% of the DCI‑P3 format.

The advanced digital slate and metadata features make it extremely fast to add metadata to any shot! Simply swipe left or right from the edge of the screen to bring up the digital slate. You can even select for take numbers to be automatically incremented when you start and stop recording, so you don’t have to enter them manually for each shot! You can also set reel numbers to increment each time you format a card. All metadata is saved with the files and available in post production with software such as DaVinci Resolve!

You get full support for the most popular video standards. The SDI and HDMI connections are multi-rate, so all models handle SD and HD television standards plus the 12G models add extra support for Ultra HD standards. Standard definition formats include NTSC and PAL. 720p HD standards include 720p50 and 59.94p. 1080i HD interlaced formats include 1080i50 and 59.94. 1080p HD formats include 1080p23.98, 24, 25, 29.97, 30, 50, 59.94 and 60p. Plus you can even work in 1080 PsF formats. On the Blackmagic Video Assist 12G models you also get support for Ultra HD formats up to 2160p59.94. On these 12G models you can even record 2K and 4K DCI rates up to 25p for digital film work!

Multiple languages are fully supported so you don"t need to learn another language to use it! Support is included for English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, German, French, Russian, Italian, Portuguese and Turkish. At first start, Video Assist will display a menu for selecting a language, plus you can switch languages in the menus. When a language is selected, the on screen text overlays will change to the selected language, as well as overlays on the video outputs when enabled. All this means Video Assist is perfect for doing international location work with different crews because you can just go into the menu and change the language any time you need!

Alternatively, the VP2785-4K is a powerhouse monitor featuring a stunning 3840 x 2160 resolution (4K) with multiple ports offering connections to USB 3.1 type C, as well as DisplayPort and HDMI. These advanced features and high color standards make it a perfect choice for various design professions, including photography, graphic design, video editing, and print.

DisplayPort was developed to replace VGA, DVI, and FPD-link. With the use of adapters, it also easily connects to other interfaces such as VGA, DVI, and HDMI.

With the right monitor and monitor port, you can serve multiple needs to maximize your productivity at the workplace. For example, the ViewSonic VG2755-2K comes equipped with HDMI ports and a VGA input. It offers versatile connectivity options to PC’s laptops and other multimedia devices, making it an excellent choice for the office.

Capable of carrying signals with the use of inexpensive cables, and very user-friendly, HDMI has been a popular choice among interface connectors. It is now the standard for plugging a computer into a TV monitor.

HDMI ports have their drawbacks, however, which makes other options a better choice at times. The main limitation of the HDMI cable is the distance in which its transmissions can travel (about 15 meters or 50 feet is considered the upper limit). Likewise, they are quite bulky. As technology has advanced, smaller versions of HDMI cables, usually called Micro or Mini, were invented to accommodate our mobile devices and tablets, but the standard size is pretty big as far as modern cables go.

Capable of carrying signals at resolutions as high as 2560 x 1600, it helped maximize the digital quality of flatscreen LCD monitors and modern video graphics cards. It has been a top choice for HDTVs and other high-end video displays for TV, movies, and DVDs, while also supporting both computer monitors and projectors. In recent years, DVI has become the standard digital interface for the computer market.

VGA ports are composed of 15 pins, with three rows of five pins, it can transmit RGBHV video signals: Red, Green, Blue, Horizontal Sync, and Vertical Sync. That said, VGA is limited to carrying analog signals, so it produces lower quality resolutions on screens. In recent years, it has been used far less, being replaced by faster DVI and HDMI ports, which provide higher quality resolutions and displays.

USB-C is a truly powerful port bringing a host of its specific benefits, while also offering compatibility with other ports. Still, DisplayPort, Mini DisplayPort, DVI, HDMI, or VGA can be a better choice depending on what you are trying to achieve with your device.
