Viltrox DC-X3 Reviews

Exceeded Expectation

I've been wanting a lightweight monitor for my b-cam and this monitor is one of the lightest of this size. But the build quality is surprisingly solid from the metal frame. Colors on the monitor have been good so far. Great to know that I can now run more than just SmallHD and Atomos for onboard monitoring.

Best monitor for the money

I have used this monitor to take hdmi out for a transmitter for live production and it has been perfect. Having the ability to hdmi In and out and sdi In and out is so nice for the price of this monitor. I is super bright and comes with a really nice hood. Really Impressed with this monitor and what a good buy it has been.

Asked by: Ricardo
The Viltrox DC-X3 6" Touchscreen On-Camera Monitor with Cage does not support signal conversion, so you can only output the same type of signal that's input. For a monitor that supports cross conversion to convert an SDI input to the HDMI output, or vice versa, the Shimbol M7 7" Touchscreen 4K HDMI/3G-SDI Video Monitor with 3D LUT Output will work, BH #SHM7.

Is this monitor able to support Open Gate signals such as from the Lumix S5ii?
Asked by: Luke
If the open-gate signal can be output in a compatible resolution and frame rate, such as a max DCI 4K30, then the Viltrox 6" Touchscreen HDMI/SDI On-Camera Monitor would be able to display it. It would not be able to display the full 6K open-gate resolution.
