It includes a CFexpress Type B card slot for onboard recording, as well as two USB-C ports that allow users to connect high-speed portable SSDs or accessories like network adapters and calibration probes. A third USB-C port provides external power, while a mounting point supports NP-F battery packs for mobile shooting setups.

Broad Codec and Editing Compatibility

The monitor supports a wide range of professional recording formats including ProRes RAW, ProRes RAW HQ, ProRes LT, ProRes 422, and ProRes 422 HQ. Footage captured on the device integrates easily into major editing platforms such as DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, and Avid Media Composer, making it a versatile addition to many video production workflows.
