Viltrox DC-A1 Overview
The lightweight DC-A1 7" HDMI 2.0 High-Bright Monitor from Viltrox lets you view your camera's image on an ultrabright, sharp 7" display. The DC-A1 supports up to DCI/UHD 4K60 via the HDMI video input and can send the signal to another display through an HDMI loop-through output. This model features multiple image tools such as histogram and waveform, and its high 2800 cd/m² brightness makes it suitable for outdoor use in bright sunlight.
The DC-A1 features a 1920 x 1080 display that supports live view from your camera, and you can monitor the audio via its built-in speaker or 3.5mm headphone jack. At the rear of the monitor, a built-in L-series battery plate enables you to power the monitor with the L-series battery, or you can power it with a separately available DC barrel or USB-C adapter. The camera mounts onto a cage, camera, or rig using the included tilt/swivel shoe adapter mount, and a quick release sun hood is available to protect the monitor from glare.
