Accsoon SeeMo Pro SDI

Accsoon SeeMo Pro SDI

Built on the technology of the original SeeMo HDMI model, the SeeMo Pro SDI is a small box that goes in-between your camera or other SDI/HDMI source and your iOS device via Lightning or USB-C cable.

The SeeMo Pro SDI can accept HD signals up to 1080p 60fps over either HD SDI or HDMI from cameras, mixers, games consoles and wireless receivers.

The HD SDI input can also be looped out to allow connection to other downstream devices such as Accsoon’s own CineView SE and Quad SDI wireless transmitters.

SeeMo Pro SDI is incredibly power efficient and runs off Sony NP-F style batteries or via a pro-grade 2-pin DC connector. It can supply 5V/2.4A power to a connected iPad or iPhone for extended operation times.

It can also charge other devices over USB-C operating as a power bank. When combined with the free Accsoon SEE app it transforms any recent iPad or iPhone into a fully featured production monitor with a complete set of professional tools such as waveform, magnification, vectorscope, false color, peaking and audio level meters.

Users can apply custom LUTs, or use the onion skin image overlay to precisely line up their shots. There are even options to de-squeeze anamorphic video on-screen, or flip video to aid self shooting.

Thanks to the high brightness, high accuracy screens of the latest iPhones and iPads the image quality is truly superb, rivalling that of top-end dedicated SDI monitors.

The super high pixel density means the eye can no longer detect individual pixels. It’s no secret that iPad screens are so good that a number of top streaming shows were even graded on iPads during the pandemic.

Accsoon have optimised the SeeMo and SEE app to be incredibly low latency too, again rivalling traditional SDI monitors in tests.

This makes SeeMo Pro SDI perfect for critical monitoring applications and especially focus pulling. SeeMo Pro SDI features a tough lightweight aluminum body with multiple 1/4-20 anti-rotation mounting points for flexibility.

For on-camera monitoring the SeeMo Pro can be placed directly to the back of an iPhone or iPad mini using the dedicated mounting options.

Alternatively, some camera operators may prefer to mount the SeeMo separately on their camera or gimbal and cable the iPhone or iPad to it. Accsoon sell extended 1m Lightning cables where additional length is required.

SeeMo Pro SDI can also turn larger iPads and iPad Pros into ideal directors’ monitors with the aid of Accsoon’s line of PowerCages for iPad.

The latest PowerCage II and PowerCage Pro II surround the iPad with metal protection and provide a solid way to mount the SeeMo Pro SDI to the rear of the setup. A built-in kick stand allows it to be set down safely without toppling over.
