Broadcast and Production Monitors
Posted on 18 November 2024
The Lilliput 31.5″ 12G-SDI/HDMI Broadcast Studio Monitor is a 31.5″ native UHD 4K monitor with a Gold mount battery plate, useful for both studio and field situations. Supporting up to DCI 4K (4096 x 2160) and UHD 4K (3840 x 2160), the monitor features one HDMI 2.0 input and four SDI inputs (two 12G, two 3G), allowing for single-, dual-, and quad-link SDI input. The monitor also features loop-through HDMI and SDI outputs to pass the signal downstream. For critical color work, the monitor supports the PRO/LTE version of LightSpace CMS (not included).
Input video signals are automatically scaled to fit the entire 3840 x 2160 screen. Audio embedded in the HDMI and SDI signals play through the monitor’s speakers, and a 3.5mm headphone jack allows you to monitor without outside noise. The monitor also supports adjustable HDR color spaces, including HLG, and you can select from 17 built-in 3D-LUTs or import six of your own. In the studio, the included power supply allows you to power the monitor from a mains outlet via the 4-pin XLR port, or you can power it from a Gold mount battery using the included battery plate. The monitor comes with a mounting bracket for desktop use and a VESA mounting plate for mounting in the field.
The 12G SDI inputs allow the units allow for multiple configurations of input. Single Link, Dual Link, and Quad link inputs mean you can use a either a single input or conjoined inputs to make up your 4K video input signal. This opens up the input workflow for the multiple types of camera to be attached into the monitor depending on the usage and configuration of the video capture environment.

Supported Log Formats
SLog2. SLog3, CLog, NLog, ARRILiog, JLog, and User.
Supported HDR
ST2084 300/1000/10000/HLG.
Audio
The monitor can display the Lissajous shape, most useful when used in audio post-production work for detecting phase variance.
Assignable Buttons
Using the four assignable buttons on the front panel, you can quickly turn any four essential monitoring tools on and off without venturing into the monitor’s menu system.
Remote Control
The monitor supports RS-422 via discrete in and out RJ45 connectors. This allows you to control the monitor from computer applications, as well as link multiple monitors together.
Calibration
The monitor supports color calibration using an optional PRO/LTE version of LightSpace CMS, to ensure your monitor is displaying your image accurately.
Fiber
