SmallHD has announced a major update to its PageOS software, introducing Fleet Control, Portrait Mode, expanded Camera Control features, and Downstream LUT support on 4K production monitors.
Designed to reduce setup time and improve consistency on set, this update is said to help crews manage complex monitoring workflows more efficiently across a wide range of productions.
“Our customers are working faster than ever, often across multiple cameras, monitors, and formats on the same set,” said Matt Eidenbock, product manager at SmallHD.
“This PageOS update is about removing friction, from managing an entire fleet of monitors to supporting vertical content and camera control in one place.
“Crews can now spend less time configuring gear and more time focusing on the shot.”
Key details – provided by SmallHD – are available below.
Fleet Control – The release of PageOS 6.3 unlocks compatibility with the Fleet Control app.
This powerful desktop app lets you manage all your monitors simultaneously over a network.
With Fleet Control, you get features that bring real efficiency to your workflow:
● Update firmware and settings across all monitors at once
● Push pages, tools, and LUTs to multiple monitors in seconds
● Organise monitors into groups for fast setup
● Maintain consistent colour and configuration across your fleet
Whether you have two monitors or 20, Fleet Control keeps your setup fast, consistent, and ready before the shoot starts.
Portrait Mode UI – Vertical content production is booming and PageOS is ready for it.
The new Portrait Mode delivers optimised menu layouts for vertical shooting – no more awkward, landscape-locked workarounds. It’s a cleaner, faster way to monitor mixed-format productions.
New Camera Control features
Canon Camera Control is now available – view your shot, control your settings, and dive into camera menus from the PageOS software platform.
Save time and effort by adjusting your Canon camera settings right from your SmallHD monitor. Now available for Canon C70, C80, C300mkIII, C400, and C500mkII.
Camera Control on Dials – on Quantum and Ultra 10 series monitors you can now assign specific settings to each dial.
The dials offer precise, tactile tools for you to change settings like:
● ISO
● Shutter Speed/Angle
● White Balance
● Internal ND
Downstream LUTs on 4K production monitors – Share graded looks from your 4K production monitor to every village monitor, so the whole crew stays aligned on the creative intent without the hassle of additional gear.
“At the end of the day, monitoring is about trust,” added Eidenbock. “This update is about giving crews the confidence that their monitors are set up correctly, staying consistent across the set, and ready to adapt no matter how the production evolves.”
