Touch Operation

The Desview R5II preview monitor features a high-quality 5.5" screen that provides full touch operation of the device. Such a solution guarantees fast and convenient control of settings. The intuitive interface that works with the pinch to zoom gesture (sliding or spreading your fingers) will allow you to conveniently zoom in or out, making it easier to control the recorded shots. The lack of physical buttons will streamline your workflow, allowing you to quickly adjust the monitor to suit your current needs.

FullHD Image

With a Full HD IPS screen with FullHD resolution, the Desview R5II monitor provides excellent image quality. Every detail is faithfully reproduced, and the 178° wide viewing angle makes the displayed content readable, no matter from which side you look at the device. The pixel density of 401 PPI will allow you to capture the finest details, which will surely contribute to better evaluation of recordings and improve the quality of your video productions.

Recording Control

The Desview R5II features both HDMI 1.4 input and HDMI 1.4 output, giving you even more freedom to work with your video devices. The preview monitor can easily handle up to 4K resolution signal transmission. Thanks to the 3.5mm mini jack headphone connector, you will also gain the ability to monitor audio in real time. This is an ideal solution for both professionals and home video makers who want flexibility and convenient control of the recorded material.

Private Color Profiles (3D LUT)

The Desview R5II preview monitor allows the use of 3D color tables. This means that already at the stage of recording you will apply so-called LUTs, which are effects that can be compared to filters, responsible for the color correction of video images. The device has its own library of ready-made presets divided into 28 thematic groups, but the possibilities of the Desview R5II do not end there. You can plug the included flash drive into a USB port and upload your own LUTs to the device, which will allow you to test a professional film look on the preview or experiment with unique image styling, even before you start the editing and post-production stages.

Detailed HDR Image

Want to make the image displayed on your monitor even more detailed? Take advantage of HDR (High Dynamic Range) technology, which makes whites whiter and blacks even deeper! High dynamic range also means greater brightness, contrast, and more vivid colors. With the HDR function, the Desview preview monitor will allow you to render the full scale of contrasts and enjoy an even more realistic image. The R5II supports HLG and PQ standards.

Brightness Level Control

Among the tools that the Desview R5II preview monitor offers, there is also a histogram. It shows the distribution of luminance and allows you to identify the overexposed or underexposed area of the frame. The tool provides visual information about the tonal range of the image, helping to preserve details in both the dark and light spaces of your shots. Tools such as Waveform (waveform monitor) and Vectroscope will also help you assess brightness levels correctly.

Convenient Power Supply

The Desview R5II preview monitor will work well both in the studio and outdoors. This is because the device supports various power supply methods. If you have an electrical outlet nearby, reach for an AC adapter (7-24V DC). And when you are working in the field or want to avoid tangled cables, use a rechargeable battery. A special locking socket supports 2 different types of cells - NP-F and LP-E6. The monitor also features a DC 8V output, which you can use to power other compatible devices. Power supply or battery packs MUST be purchased separately.

Fast Exposure Level Assessment

The Desview R5II preview monitor offers a variety of tools to help you better evaluate exposure levels while working with your camera or camcorder. Using the Zebra, False Color, and Single Color modes, you can easily determine which elements of the frame are too bright and which are too dark. These tools will come in handy wherever poor lighting conditions prevent you from accurately assessing the exposure of, among other things, the skin or faces of the filmed characters.

Perfect Framing

Working with the Desview R5II preview monitor will help you set up your frames with precision. The device allows you to use the center markers of the frame (Center Mark) and the safe area (Safe Area). Among the available tools, there is also a grid that can be superimposed on the preview. The monitor also offers support for different anamorphic aspect ratios. The feature will enable comfortable work with custom lenses to achieve an even more cinematic movie look.
