See beyond the restricted color and contrast of conventional monitoring with the SmallHD 1303 HDR 13" Production Monitor. Featuring HDR preview backed by a 10-bit Color Intelligence engine with calibration capabilities, the 1303 can display a large brightness range, encompassing log formats and other expanded-range picture styles. The 1500 cd/m², daylight-viewable, 1920x1080 Full HD resolution display panel can be driven by one of two SDI inputs or an HDMI input. Each input has a loop output for connecting other gear in-line without the need for a splitter. All functionality of this monitor is accessed via the innovative Page Builder OS. By implementing full aluminum construction and the provision for separately available user-replaceable polycarbonate screen protectors, SmallHD built this monitor to survive the rigors of production in studios and in the field.

Page Builder OS
Originally featured in the 500 and 700-series models, and extrapolated for the Production Monitor series, the Page Builder OS is an intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) that puts all of the advanced functionality of the 1303 at your fingertips. Rather than have confusing menus, this GUI allows you to selectively apply monitoring tools such as waveforms, vectorscopes, multiview, and focusing aids to up to 4 different "pages". These pages can be easily flipped through using the joystick. The buttons on the front panel can also toggle monitoring tools on and off for each page.
ColorFlow 3D LUT Processing
In order to keep your images consistent from production through to post-production, ColorFlow allows you to import 3D LUTs and display the treated image side-by-side with the untreated image to correctly gauge exposure while visualizing what is being recorded by the camera. Side-by-side preview can also be used with the HDR preview function. Separate LUT-treated images can be sent downstream over SDI and HDMI so you can have the 1303 display a log image or LUT-treated image, while the director or client monitors connected to the outputs can receive images treated with a different LUT. An image-capture function saves a still frame from the incoming video stream onto an SD card and also records the applied 3D LUT for post-production reference.
Color Intelligence Engine
When a separately available color probe is connected to the monitor via USB, the SmallHD 1303 can automatically adjust a 10-bit 3D calibration LUT for maintaining accurate color reproduction over the life of the monitor.
RapidRail Shoe-Mount System
Quickly secure and detach accessories such as wireless units to the rear of the monitor using standard shoe-mount rails. This saves time over traditional screw-mounted methods and keeps your setup clean and neat. If required these accessories can be powered straight off the monitor using the integrated 12V LEMO power output or the 3 USB ports.
Power Options
Separately available V-mount or Gold-mount battery plates can be attached to the rear of the display. A mounted battery can power the monitor as well as attached accessories through the 12V LEMO connection. The USB ports on the rear of the monitor can also power accessories with a maximum draw of 0.5 amps per port.

Great focus monitor

By Jason
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2022-12-26

I really like these monitors for pulling focus. They are a great size to get into tight spaces. Not too small but not too big. Lots of great tools in them as well.

Industry workhorse.

Cant go wrong with it. There is a reason it's a workhorse in the industry.

Best 13 monitor.

No competition here. This is by far the most iconic on set monitor. Crisp , well built , lots of connectors. One huge flaw: Menu UI is a complete mess. I can't believe engineers were paid to come up with a menu like this . Otherwise a nice piece of equipment.

Almost perfect

Built quality is amazing. It is not too heavy. 1500nit brightness is perfect for outdoor use. I have two problems though. In low brightness it flickers for several minutes (noticeable in white areas). May be it needs to warm up. When you move your head, you can see strips in white  areas. If you look at it about a meter  away, you can’t see this issue. Strange ! My cheap monitors don’t have this pattern. Colour accuracy is perfect but you can’t calibrate it since they discontinued the probe.

Pretty cool...

Bought this as a focus monitor. Haven’t had it very long but here are my initial impressions. Built like a tank. This feels like it should last a long time and deal with the wear and tear of set use. Heavy. I guess for its size it’s surprising how dense it feels. Bright. No issues seeing this outside. I still carry a hood because it makes viewing even better and why not? Picture quality. It is OK. I think it’s good enough for a small directors monitor or a focus monitor but it’s not for critical picture evaluation. SD card sticks out of the front. Why? This just bugs me. Bad design. Screen protector retaining screws seem to twist on their own wish they felt more secure. Overall I’m very happy. Just wish a few little things were designed better on it.

Terrific for pulling focus

If you need a focus pulling monitor, this is it. I have used it on location and in studio and it's great for both. Surprisingly light for its size, and super sharp especially with a couple points of focus peaking. Adding on accessories, case, etc racks up the price but it is well worth it. Much easier to see than a 703, especially when working with large format, WFO. All the pros use this and laud it - Greg Irwin said it was instrumental in keeping Joker sharp. That's the review that matters!

Best focus monitor

By Sean
Rated 5 out of 5

The best monitor you can have if you are a 1st AC. This thing is brighter than i thought it would be too which is great for exteriors. Larger screen makes focusing less straining on the eyes to look at fine details. People won't be breathing down your neck if they decide they want to stand behind you and watch during takes, because they wont have to get as close to see the screen. Doesn't work as a handheld monitor obviously unless you are The Rock in which case go for it. I recommend looking at upgrade innovations for the Quick release monitor mount. Also getting the ratworks 1303 mounting block to mount your follow focus off of the bottom and for extra protection. And having a ptap voltage readout facing the front if you are running off battery so you know it won't die in the middle of a take.

AMAZING. If you like the 1703, and travel, this is A+++

The 1703 is an on set staple and this monitor is just as solid. Great build and just a perfect size for smaller run & gun sets and for travel. I can fit this monitor, a Cine7 + Komodo Kit + some glass & accessories in 2x rolling cases. Over the moon happy with this little guy!
