External Monitor for HPX170
« on: December 22, 2023, 05:35:44 PM »
Hiiiiiiii!

My LCD panel on my HPX does not work anymore and I was wondering if anyone on here knows about any external monitors that'll connect to the HPX. Thank you all. Mmmmm buh bye.

You'd wanna find something that can take an SDI signal and that can be powered via an NPF battery.

Here is an example of the cheapest SDI monitor route:

Monitor: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Camera-Touching-1920x1080-Brightness-Mirrorless-default/dp/B08L79VS18/ref=sr_1_22?crid=23FLVXNJHU9VN&keywords=SDI+monitor&qid=1703328929&sprefix=sdi+monitor%2Caps%2C103&sr=8-22

SDI Cable: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bingfu-Digital-Cameras-Equipment-Supports/dp/B093K6C9DB/ref=sr_1_10?crid=1S0AQT2FZZFWM&keywords=SDI%2Bcable&qid=1703328999&sprefix=sdi%2Bcable%2Caps%2C104&sr=8-10&th=1

Battery: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Powerextra-Replacement-Compatible-DCR-VX2100-HDR-AX2000/dp/B079N3JPV9/ref=sr_1_3?crid=141X468W34T06&keywords=NPF%2BBattery&qid=1703329047&sprefix=npf%2Bbattery%2Caps%2C69&sr=8-3&th=1

All in all you'd be spending £212.59 to get all setup. I know you could get a crappy analogue based monitor but if you want to actually make sure your shit is in focus and also be able to see the screen (and future proof your purchase as you could use this on higher end kit as well) this makes sense imo.
