SWIT 21.5″ K21 FHD 1500nit Field Monitor

The SWIT K21 is a 21.5″ director and client monitor built for exterior shoots. At 1500 nits the image stays readable in direct sun, and it travels in its own aluminium flight case, which also works as a stand. Typical uses: video village on commercials and drama, production monitor on live and multicamera events, and focus or framing reference on set. It takes SDI and HDMI, loops SDI on to the next monitor and runs on mains, 4-pin XLR or V-mount batteries. Need several cameras on one screen, 12G-SDI or HDR? See the SWIT FM-215HDR 12G-SDI HDR Quad-View Monitor.

Filming in Portugal? We can supply the monitor with an ENG/EFP crew, a local fixer/producer and a van with driver. Ask us for a complete package.
