Video Devices Update Boosts
PIX-E Features

V

ideo Devices has announced
Firmware Version 1.10 for
the PIX-E Series of 4K-compatible
recording monitors.
With this latest firmware update, the
PIX-E5 and PIX-E5H monitors now offer
higher frame rate recording via HDMI,
enhanced playback capabilities, and
anamorphic desqueeze.
Additionally, the PIX-E5 will also
offer 6G-SDI to support 4K over a
single SDI cable.
"We pay close attention to feedback
from our customers, and we've
used these suggestions to add
several key features, such as with
our latest firmware 1.10 update,"
says Paul Isaacs, Director of Product
Management and Design, Sound
Devices, LLC. "We're committed to
offering new firmware with enhanced
features to better assist our customers
on the job."
With firmware v1.10, the PIX-E Series
now supports the higher frame rate
of 1080p 120fps for high-definition

recording, which is ideal for capturing
slow motion footage. The update also
enables a 4:3 anamorphic desqueeze
feature to the LCD and SDI/HDMI
outputs during both monitoring input
and playback. This process stretches
out the horizontally squeezed images
that result from cameras using
anamorphic lenses, such as the
Panasonic LUMIX GH4.
The firmware also includes many
PIX-E Series enhancements for
playback, such as 16x fast forward and
16x rewind functionality, the ability to
jog through playback frame-by-frame,
and shuttle in slow or fast motion.
The new shuttling capability provides
efficient navigation of playback
forward or backward at rates from 1/8
speed to 32 times normal speed.
Audio monitoring is even retained
while shuttling forward from 1/8x to
2x. This update also has the ability to
select next or previous recorded files
from Stop by pressing Rewind or Fast
Forward soft key buttons.

Latest firmware update for PIX-E Series

For the PIX-E5 monitor, v.1.10
now offers users 6G-SDI support of
recording 4K over a single SDI cable
for cameras like the Blackmagic URSA,
plus the added ability to enable or
disable a Lookup Table (LUT) on an SDI
output.
On both PIX-E models, this version
of firmware also features a new 3:2
pulldown removal option for input to
file conversion, as well as more options
for using external timecode. When set
to 3:2 Pulldown, PIX-E Series monitors
will automatically apply 3:2 pulldown if
it detects a 3:2 cadence in an incoming

1080i 59.94 signal.
External timecode options now
include Linear Timecode (LTC) via
the 3.5 mm line inputs, and HDMI
timecode. The LTC from the line inputs
may also be striped to Line In 1 or Line
In 2 audio tracks.
The PIX-E Series of 4K recording
monitors includes two released fiveinch models, PIX-E5 and PIX-E5H,
as well as the upcoming seven-inch
PIX-E7.
Both the PIX-E5 and PIX-E7 monitors
have SDI and HDMI I/O, while the PIXE5H has HDMI I/O only.
