Ruige were demonstrating their latest HDMI monitors at BIRTV. They feature the remote magnification switch that they previously showed as a prototype at NAB 2011. The monitors also had improved full screen viewing when used with the 5DmkII in record mode.

They also showed a new 4.8inch monitor which not only had HDMI and HD-SDI input and output but also had the ability to cross convert HDMI to SDI – all built into the back of the unit.

Marshall were showing working prototypes of their new range of monitors featuring improved resolutions and a novel interchangeable input/output module with options for HD-SDI. They all feature HDMI loop through to allow output to a second monitor or external recorder.
