The SmallHD Ultra 7 Bolt 6 RX puts a Teradek Bolt 6 receiver inside SmallHD's 7-inch Ultra 7 field monitor, so it takes the picture from your camera wirelessly through an internal V-Antenna. There are two range versions, 750 ft and 1500 ft line of sight, and each comes in Gold Mount and V-Mount versions.

Brightness and colour

The 7.02-inch 1920 x 1200 IPS touchscreen reaches 2300 nits with a 1000:1 contrast ratio. It covers 95% of DCI-P3 and 98% of Rec709, with 10-bit processing on an 8-bit panel, and large front-facing custom-function buttons sit beside it.

Scopes, LUTs and framing tools

PageOS carries waveform, vectorscope, RGB parade and histogram, false colour, dual zebras, focus assist and peaking, frame guides, pixel zoom up to 8x, anamorphic de-squeeze from 0.75x to 2.5x and image capture. 33-point user and calibration LUTs import from an SD card or a USB storage device and keep working after the card is removed.

Connections on the Ultra 7 RX

Two BNC connectors carry 6G-SDI, one an input and one switchable between input and output, so the monitor can take a 4K signal over SDI. Full-size HDMI in and out, a 3.5 mm headphone jack with 8-channel audio metering and an SD card slot complete the connections. An Ethernet port takes SmallHD Camera Control for ARRI and Sony VENICE, and a 5-pin locking USB port takes it for RED cameras, with the licence and cable sold separately.

Running the Ultra 7 RX

Power comes through a 2-pin locking connector at 10 to 34 V DC, or from the rear battery plate interface, and a 2-pin locking output passes power on to other gear. SmallHD recommends a 12 to 15 V DC supply at about 2.5 A or more. The box holds the monitor, a Micro Battery Plate, monitor handles, an 18-inch right-angle D-Tap to 2-pin power cable and a screen protector. The anodised aluminium body has plastic accents and twelve 1/4-20 mounting points, and each version weighs 998 g (35.2 oz) and measures 209 x 157 x 35 mm (8.23 x 6.2 x 1.36 in) without its battery plate.
