from 2,700K to 6,500K. The white-light
output can be blended with the built-in
high-output RGB saturated color engine,
providing nearly unlimited lighting-control
possibilities. Lighting professionals can
selectively layer saturated color on top of
white light to create different
shades, tints and tones without
sacrificing the white-light quality critical for production and
broadcast lighting. Each LightBlade is powered by 24-volt DC
and controllable via four channels of DMX/RDM.
NBCUniversal LightBlade LED has been quickly
adopted by feature, series and
commercial productions across
North America. The lightweight, 1.5"x48", 50-watt
light engines are silent and
flicker-free, and are built to
endure the wear and tear of
staging and production.
NBCUniversal LightBlade LED is available for rental and sales. For more information, visit www.lightbladeled.com.

SmallHD, Teradek Partner for
Director's Monitor
Marking the first collaboration
between Vitec Group companies SmallHD
and Teradek, the 703 Bolt Wireless Director's Monitor provides live review of full
1920x1080p at up to 300' when used with
compatible Teradek Bolt 500, 1000 or 3000
transmitters. With previews and playback as
well as stereo audio headphone output, the
3,000-nit, daylight-viewable display is the

brightest monitor SmallHD has so far made.
Capable of two input sources for
simultaneous A/B camera monitoring, the
703 Bolt Wireless Director's Monitor can be
powered by a single Gold or V-mount
battery, with a 90 watt-hour battery providing more than four hours of viewing and
signal reception. Built from a milledaluminum frame with a durable Gorilla
Glass screen, the 703 Bolt system measures
8.4"x4.8"x1.21" without antennas, and
weighs 4.35 pounds with battery and
handles, the latter of which are contoured
with an ergonomic rubberized coating. If a
wired configuration is preferred, the monitor can run two SDI inputs simultaneously,
or as an SDI input and an SDI output.
The 703 Bolt Wireless Director's
Monitor is delivered with SmallHD's latest
OS3 operating system, which incorporates

features for color synchronization, spot
metering and auto-calibration, including
custom false color, improved battery meter
and computer-free integration with the
optional SmallHD Color Probe.
SmallHD CEO Wes Phillips explains
that OS3 enables users to "calibrate their
on-camera and production monitors without using a computer. We've added the
capability to create up to 10 customizable
IRE ranges and assign specific colors to the
ranges. It allows the user to choose what's
important in the exposure, and identify
problem areas faster than ever."
The 703 Bolt is available on its own
or in a Director's Kit, which bundles the
monitor with handles, neck strap, battery
bracket, and both matte and transparent
screen protectors.
