Seamless Camera Control

Wired camera control is fully compatible with select cameras from Sony, Canon and Panasonic. This allows direct control of aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and white balance from the monitor, streamlining on-set camera adjustments and improving workflow efficiency.

• Sony: A1, A9 II, A7S III, A7M IV, A7 V, FX3, FX30, A9M3
• Canon: EOS R1, R5 Mark II, R6 Mark III
• Panasonic: S1, G9, GH7, GH6, S1H, S1R, GH5 II, S5, S5M2, S5M2X, BGH1, BS1H

10-Bit Color & 3D LUT Output

The LH7C’s 7" IPS panel supports 10-bit (8+2 FRC) color depth for ultra-smooth gradients and accurate 100% Rec.709 color reproduction. Users can load up to 20 custom 3D LUTs via USB, and HDMI 3D LUT output allows real-time color-graded signals to be sent to wireless transmitters or director monitors for consistent color across the team.

2-in-1 TA03Y Cable & 4K Input Support

The included TA03Y HDMI Control Cable integrates video and Type-C camera control into a single 2.5 mm ultra-thin wire, rated for 8K signal stability. The monitor accepts 4K lossless input, downsampled to 1080p using advanced oversampling, preserving every detail while reducing cable clutter compared to traditional setups.

Freeze Frame & Overlay Comparison

Users can capture single frames onto a USB drive and overlay them semi-transparently on live video. This feature ensures precise shot matching, allows actor position verification, and helps recreate complex compositions frame-by-frame for continuity between takes.

Anamorphic De-Squeeze

Preset 10 sizes: 1.00x, 1.33x, 1.42x, 1.50x, 1.60x, 1.66x, 1.80x, 1.85x, 2.00x, 2.35x. Fully customizable from 0.25x to 4.00x to accommodate different anamorphic lenses and maintain correct aspect ratios.

Focus Tracking

Select a subject via the touchscreen and the focus frame continuously tracks the subject’s movement, providing precise focus control for moving subjects and dynamic shooting scenarios. (Note: The Focus Tracking Frame feature is currently exclusive to supported Sony cameras).

Lightweight & Rig-Ready Design

At only 245 g, the LH7C is ~30% lighter than standard 7" monitors while maintaining structural integrity with high-density engineering plastic. It includes 1/4"-20 mounting threads for cages or gimbals and can be powered via an NP-F battery plate—yielding up to eight hours of use—or via a 7–24 V DC input for longer cine-battery setups. A USB-A port allows firmware updates and custom LUT storage.

MOVNORM OS

The fully touchscreen-controlled MOVNORM OS interface provides an intuitive, clean layout. Key buttons are easily accessible, allowing both beginners and professionals to operate the monitor efficiently on set.

LOG Stops & Exposure Tools

Automatically detects LOG signals using the camera's actual stop data, and divides them into 14–19 exposure stop zones. Each zone can be color-coded, displayed with zebra patterns, and individually customized. This advanced exposure system ensures every frame captures highlights and shadows with precision.
