DSMC3 RED Touch 7.0″ Monitor

FULL DESCRIPTION

The DSMC3 RED Touch 7.0″ Monitor is a professional-grade LCD display designed to integrate seamlessly with RED DSMC3 cameras, especially the V-RAPTOR series. It delivers high-definition viewing, faithful color rendering, and real-time monitoring tools essential for cinematic shoots, broadcast productions, documentary work, and high-end independent projects.

With its 1920×1200 resolution, ~322 ppi pixel density, and a peak brightness of 1300 nits, this monitor ensures sharp imagery even under intense ambient lighting. The full-gamut 100% DCI-P3 color coverage and 10-bit processing provide accurate color reproduction, making it ideal for color grading and exposure control.

The user interface runs on SmallHD PageOS, offering professional tools such as waveform, vectorscope, histogram, false color, color picker, and pixel zoom. The capacitive multi-touch screen allows intuitive, responsive control.

Construction is lightweight yet rugged: built from aluminum alloy, with an integrated tilt arm that rotates up to 180° for flexible mounting either on rigs or directly on the camera body. Power, video, and control are delivered via a single dedicated RMI cable (USB-C style), avoiding the need for separate SDI or power cables unless your rig demands special setups.

Intended users include professional cinematographers, video crews, external production teams, commercial video, documentaries, and anyone needing a premium monitor for on-set monitoring. Particularly well suited for users of RED DSMC3/V-RAPTOR who seek compact yet powerful monitoring with high visual fidelity and streamlined workflows.

FAQ

Can this monitor be used with non-RED or non-DSMC3 cameras?

No. The DSMC3 RED Touch 7.0″ is not compatible with DSMC, DSMC2, RED RANGER, or KOMODO systems. It is designed exclusively for RED DSMC3 series cameras such as V-RAPTOR.

Do I need extra cables like SDI or external power?

No. Power, video, and control are delivered through a single dedicated RMI cable, thus you don’t need separate SDI or power cables unless your setup demands special configurations.

What is the real brightness outdoors?

With 1300 nits, the monitor is suitable for daylight use. However, in extremely bright sunlight or with strong reflections, using a hood is recommended to retain visibility and contrast.

Is the screen touch capable? How responsive is it?

Yes, it uses a capacitive multi-touch (pCap) display. It’s designed for responsive control via PageOS. Specific responsiveness may vary depending on firmware version.

What is the total weight including arm and interface?

The main monitor weighs approx. 568 g, plus ~30 g for the hinge arm and ~126 g for the RMI interface module. Total well under 1 kg.
