In conjunction, Video Devices also announced the release of Firmware Version 1.04 for the PIX-E5 and PIX-E5H. With v1.04, both the PIX-E5 and PIX-E5H support HDMI recording triggers for Sony and Canon cameras. The update also adds the 500GB Samsung 850 EVO mSATA solid-state drive to the approved media list, for use in the removable USB-based SpeedDrive. In addition to other enhancements, firmware v1.04 increases the previous HDMI audio inputs and outputs to four and eight channels, respectively.
Both of the five-inch 1920×1080-resolution, 441-ppi PIX-E5 and PIX-E5H monitors include a full suite of monitoring tools and the ability to record 4K edit-ready files to the SpeedDrive. Designed as an HDMI-only video alternative, the PIX-E5H records a range of Apple ProRes codecs from Proxy to ProRes 422 HQ. The PIX-E5, which comes equipped with both SDI and HDMI I/O, has the added ability to record the highest quality Apple ProRes 4444 XQ. Included in the suite of monitoring tools is TapZoom for focusing speed, false colors and zebras to help set exposure, guide markers for framing, and a range of scopes, including waveform, histogram and vectorscope.
The monitors are enclosed in die-cast metal housings and have an LCD that uses Gorilla Glass 2.
