19-Inch HDR Touchscreen

The Sumo 19SE features a large 19-inch 1920 × 1080 SuperAtom IPS touchscreen with a 1200-nit backlight and DCI-P3 color gamut.

The high-brightness display is particularly useful for outdoor productions, video village setups, live events, and other environments where a conventional production monitor may be difficult to see.

The monitor supports HDR workflows including HLG and PQ, as well as numerous professional Log and color-gamut combinations from Sony, Canon, ARRI, Panasonic, RED, Fujifilm, Nikon, and other camera systems.

Professional Monitoring Tools

The Sumo 19SE includes a comprehensive collection of exposure, focus, framing, and color-monitoring tools.

Available tools include:

These tools allow cinematographers and DITs to evaluate exposure, focus, color, and framing directly on set.

3D LUT and HDR Monitoring

The Sumo 19SE supports 17-point and 33-point .Cube LUT files, allowing custom LUTs to be loaded directly into the monitor.

LUTs can be used for:

The Sumo 19SE can also apply LUTs to compatible output signals, providing additional flexibility for production monitoring.

Professional Recording

The Sumo 19SE is more than a production monitor. It is also a professional recorder capable of capturing high-quality footage directly from compatible cameras.

Supported recording formats include:

The unit supports Apple ProRes RAW up to 6Kp30, 4K RAW up to 4Kp60, and DCI 4K/UHD recording up to 60p depending on the connected camera and signal format.

Multi-Camera Switching and ISO Recording

The Sumo 19SE can function as a multi-camera production monitor and switcher.

Its four SDI inputs can be used for multiple HD camera sources, allowing operators to view and switch between several cameras. It can also record up to four 1080p60 ISO inputs under supported 3G-SDI configurations, providing individual camera recordings for post-production.

This makes the Sumo 19SE particularly useful for:
