What’s Changed? The RED DSMC2 Touch 7" Ultra-Brite LCDis an update/redesign of the RED DSMC2 Touch 7-inch LCD, and they’ve changed a lot to make it a better fit for off-camera monitoring. The obvious is the 2200 nit LCD panel, but they’ve also swapped video input to the tried-and-true LCD/EVF LEMO cable and removed a built-in mounting solution. You’ll need an accessory arm to get the most out of this monitor rental.

RED Monitoring in Direct Sunlight. With the 6x bump in brightness, you’ll be able to monitor in sunlit locations with ease, and with more brightness comes a slight bump in contrast. Otherwise expect the same image quality you’ve come to expect from RED TOUCH monitors.

1/4-20 & 3/8-inch Mounting Holes. This monitor will not directly attach to a RED camera body like past models. It does, however, have a slew of 1/4"-20 and a couple 3/8"-16 threaded holes for use with accessory arms.

Compatibility. This monitor is only compatible with DSMC2 brains running firmware version 7.2 or newer. In addition to firmware compatibility, this monitor also uses a RED LEMOLCD/EVF cable for communication with the camera. We include a LEMO A adapter and 18" LCD cable which will work for must setups.

• This monitor will not directly attach to a RED camera body like past models. It does, however, have a slew of 1/4"-20 and a couple 3/8"-16 threaded holes for use with accessory arms (not included).

• This monitor is only compatible with DSMC2 brains running firmware version 7.2 or newer.

• In addition to firmware compatibility, this monitor uses a RED LEMO LCD/EVF cable for communication with the camera, so if you’re using a DSMC2 brain, you’ll need to attach the included RED LEMO Adapter A to a POGO socket on your brain.
