The SmallHD Cine 18" fills the critical gap between compact and full-sized production monitors, delivering professional 4K monitoring in a truly portable package. The 18-inch display provides excellent screen real estate for directors, DITs, and clients to assess footage comfortably, whilst the 1100 nits brightness ensures clear visibility even when shooting outdoors in bright daylight. This monitor has proven invaluable for documentary work requiring mobile video villages, commercial productions where space is limited, and narrative work where the balance between screen size and portability is essential. The combination of professional features and manageable weight makes it significantly more practical than larger monitors when working in tight spaces or moving between locations.

‍

The professional monitoring tools built into the Cine 18" provide technical assessment capabilities for serious production work. Focus peaking, false colour exposure tools, waveform monitors, and vectorscopes allow DITs and camera operators to verify technical quality on set rather than discovering issues in post-production. The four 12G-SDI inputs plus HDMI 2.0 make it compatible with any camera output or wireless video system, whilst the dual and quad-view capabilities allow monitoring of multiple camera feeds simultaneously - invaluable for multi-camera productions. The 100% Rec.709 colour gamut with 10-bit colour depth ensures accurate image representation for critical on-set decisions.

‍

The lightweight aluminium unibody construction at only 5.4kg makes the Cine 18" genuinely portable - you can move it between setups without needing help, making it ideal for documentary work and location shoots where mobility matters. We provide the complete package including the robust metal flight case for safe transport, sunhood for additional contrast enhancement outdoors, and spigot mount allowing the monitor to be positioned on standard lighting stands or director's carts. The 18-inch size hits the sweet spot between the compact Cine 13 and full-sized Cine 24, providing enough screen real estate for proper monitoring whilst remaining practical for mobile setups. Whether you're creating mobile video villages, providing DIT monitoring on documentary shoots, or setting up client playback in tight spaces, the SmallHD Cine 18" delivers professional monitoring quality with practical portability.

What makes this different from the 24-inch version? The Cine 18" offers 1100 nits brightness (vs 1350 nits on the 24") and weighs 5.4kg compared to the 24-inch's 7.5kg. The smaller size and lighter weight make it more portable for location work whilst still providing professional features. It's the ideal choice when you need serious monitoring capability but the 24-inch would be too large or heavy for your setup.

‍

Is 18 inches large enough for client monitoring? Yes, 18 inches provides ample screen size for directors, clients, and crew to review footage comfortably. It's large enough that multiple people can view simultaneously whilst being significantly more portable than 24-inch monitors. Many documentary and commercial productions find the 18-inch size ideal for mobile video villages where space and weight are considerations.

‍

Can I monitor multiple cameras simultaneously? Yes, the Cine 18" features dual and quad-view capabilities allowing you to monitor up to four camera feeds simultaneously. The four 12G-SDI inputs make it practical for multi-camera productions where you need to monitor all angles from one location, perfect for interviews, events, or multi-camera commercial work.

‍

How bright is it for outdoor use? The 1100 nits brightness ensures the display remains clearly visible in bright outdoor conditions - significantly brighter than standard monitors which wash out in daylight. The included sunhood provides additional contrast enhancement when needed. Whilst slightly less bright than the 1350 nits Cine 24", it's more than adequate for professional outdoor monitoring.

‍

What monitoring tools are available? The monitor includes professional tools such as focus peaking for verifying critical focus, false colour for exposure assessment, waveform and vectorscope for technical analysis, and various frame guides and overlays. The PageOS software platform provides comprehensive monitoring capabilities for technical assessment on set.

‍

Is the monitor colour accurate? Yes, the Cine 18" features 100% Rec.709 colour gamut coverage with 10-bit colour depth, providing professional colour accuracy suitable for critical on-set monitoring. It also covers 98% of DCI-P3 colour space. Whilst designed primarily for production monitoring rather than finishing work, the colour representation is reliable for making informed creative decisions during shooting.

‍

What's included in the kit? We provide the complete package: SmallHD Cine 18" monitor, sunhood for outdoor shooting, spigot mount for stand mounting, power cable, two BNC cables for SDI connections, and a protective metal flight case for safe transport. Everything needed for professional on-set monitoring is included.
