Now if we talk about the different outdoor LED signs brightness levels, we can divide them as: Starting with a brighter display ensures that your LED screen will be readable for many years into the future. The dimmer an individual LED becomes, the less effective the overall sign is at competing with the sun. In addition, LEDs do not burn out but instead grow dimmer with use. The brighter the display, the better able it is to compete with the sun. Ensuring that your led screen is readable during the day is vital to the success of having passers by read your led screen. There are two important things to consider related to led screen brightness: how well it competes with the sun, and how long it will compete with the sun. In comparison, typical televisions range from 500 to 1,000 nits and indoor LED signs from 1,000 to 2,000 nits. Outdoor LED signs can range from 5,000 to 8,000 nits or higher. A special measurement device is used to deliver the nit rating of the sign.
This means the sign is at its brightest white for a full color display, or brightest red for a shaded red display.
This measurement assumes that all of the LEDs within the square meter are on at their full brightness as allowed by the sign software and hardware configuration. As the light source gets farther away from the surface it is projecting on, the brightness per square meter decreases (think of this as the same amount of light spread over a larger area). This measurement is different than what is typically used for single light sources such as projectors and flashlights, which are measured in lumens. This value takes into account all of the contributing factors to brightness, such as the number of LEDs per pixel, the pixel pitch (distance between pixels) and the brightness of individual LEDs. Also known as “candelas per square meter”, a nit is a unit of measurement for the total brightness over one square meter of an LED display. However, the sign industry has settled on a standard measurement that will help you to discuss and compare LED signs: the nit. With Small4K™ Video Processing Architecture, the Cine 13 is ready for 4K as soon as the client is.With so many different types of measurements and contributing factors to overall LED sign brightness, the topic can quickly become confusing. Combined with SmallHD’s popular PageOS 4 tools like Color Pipe color rendering, Custom False Color and Pomfort Livegrade integration, filmmakers can trust Cine 13 to provide a technically accurate view of their shots.Īs more of the industry pivots to 4K and HDR monitoring, SmallHD is handing creators the tools to expand their 4K capabilities and future-proof production workflows.
“With upgraded contrast ratio, resolution, portability, brightness and color reproduction, Cine 13 is a versatile powerhouse that will delight focus-pullers and cinematographers alike.”Ĭamera teams have been craving a bright, portable and versatile 13-inch monitor Cine 13 is SmallHD’s elegant answer.
“Cine 13 is a major upgrade in image quality – we think it’s the best-looking 13-inch production monitor ever made,” said Dave Bredbury, Product Manager for CS Cine.
The brilliant daylight visibility and 4K clarity of Cine 13 is designed for creatives requiring critical-focus capability at all times. With its low-profile design, this on-set workhorse can fit into nearly any production scenario. Cine 13 is SmallHD’s most compact, agile and pixel-dense 13-inch production monitor yet. GTC sponsor SmallHD has announced the launch of a new 4K 13-inch high-bright monitor.
