Sony RM-DP7 Cinema Line Monitor Controller (7")

Sony RM-DP7 Cinema Line Monitor Controller

The Sony RM-DP7 Cinema Line Monitor Controller combines professional monitoring and camera control in a versatile two-in-one solution for compatible Sony camera models. Its 7" 1920 x 1080 LCD touchscreen delivers 2000 cd/m² brightness for clear viewing even in bright daylight, while 12G-SDI connectivity supports professional video workflows. An intuitive control interface enables precise monitoring, while wireless operation is possible by connecting a third-party video transmitter through the HDMI input.

High Color Accuracy

The DP7 incorporates Sony's professional video color calibration technology for accurate color reproduction while compensating for color temperature shifts during operation. It also supports LUT application, including S-Log3, along with up to 16 uploaded presets via an SD card.

Responsive Control Knob

The included tactile control knob attaches to the side of the monitor and enables precise focus pulls with compatible Cinema Line cameras in both wired and wireless configurations. The ergonomic knob provides accurate control and draws power directly from the monitor.

Focus and Zoom Support

The focus indicator works with the control knob to provide precise focus pulling, with the ability to mark mechanical stop positions and focus points as needed. Compatible FX cameras also support touch focus and touch tracking directly from the monitor, with manual and autofocus modes available for added flexibility.

The Lens Control page allows you to zoom in and out using dedicated buttons or touchscreen controls when a compatible lens is attached to the camera. Zoom speed can also be adjusted for smooth operation tailored to your project.

Intuitive Controls

Integrated buttons arranged in a BIG6 configuration along the LCD provide quick access to settings including FPS, ISO, shutter, iris, look, and white balance. ITEM keys provide direct access to individual feature pages, while the REC button controls recording. Customizable ASSIGN buttons and a multifunction dial provide additional control options. A Time Counter and Audio Level Meter can also be displayed simultaneously on the monitor.

Comprehensive Image Monitoring Tools

Double-tap anywhere on the screen to magnify the image by up to 6x, then pinch to zoom and swipe to navigate the enlarged view. The Scopes page provides waveform, vectorscope, false color, and zebra displays for accurate exposure monitoring. Additional tools, including aspect markers, de-squeeze, and peaking, support precise framing and focusing.

Wired and Wireless Control

The DP7 supports wired control through its Ethernet and USB-C ports. For wireless operation, connect a third-party video transmitter to the monitor's HDMI input to establish a wireless connection with your camera and transmit video at up to 4K resolution.

Flexible Power Options

A rear-mounted plate supports Sony BP-U type batteries and allows hot-swapping for continuous operation. The USB-C port can also accept power from a compatible external source, while a DC input provides an additional power option.

Durable Construction

A rugged aluminum body provides a lightweight yet durable design for professional use. Four 1/4"-20 mounting threads and four strap slots allow attachment of the included side handgrip and an optional strap for comfortable one-handed operation. The housing incorporates heat-dissipating construction with a built-in cooling fan, while selectable operating modes help maintain stable performance across a variety of environments.
