The new Smart 5 Series is engineered to deliver the same professional toolset of our Ultrabright
and Smart 7 series in a rugged, compact, 5-inch monitor with daylight-viewable displays and
unmatched PageOS functionality.
The powerful, portable, and adaptable Ultra 5 offers 3000nits of dazzling brightness, a locking
power adaptor, an Ethernet port for ARRI camera control, plus a full suite of large, front-facing
physical buttons for maximum control in all conditions. The Cine 5 is lightweight, compact, and
offers 2000nits of daylight-busting brightness – plus a convenient joystick and back button that
allows for quick adjustments while wearing gloves. The Indie 5 is the smallest and lightest monitor
in the Smart 5 Series, with 1000nits of brightness, and optional camera-control functionality.
