SCENE 01 / FIELD MONITORS

Field Monitors

Professional monitoring solutions for your Turkish production.

Scroll

Here is how this works in practice. Field monitors are portable, high-resolution displays used by camera operators and directors to review focus, exposure, and composition on location. Pro field monitors give accurate color reproduction, waveform tools, and bright screens visible in outdoor conditions, making them key for location work.

Here is the short of it. We give field monitors with the screen sizes, resolution, and feature sets your camera department needs. Our team sources locally ready units compatible with your camera's output signals and sets up delivery with your wider gear package for a streamlined prep process.

On Location

Field monitors in Turkey — on-board, director and DIT-grade displays — come from Istanbul's deep rental base, built by the country's enormous 'dizi' television-drama industry.

Here is the breakdown. We source field monitors — on-board camera displays, director's monitors and calibrated DIT-grade reference panels with SDI and HDMI distribution — from Istanbul rental houses, where the volume of episodic 'dizi' production keeps monitor inventory deep, today's and supported by skilled video technicians. Because Turkey is the world's second-largest exporter of TV series after the United States, full monitor ranges with HDR-capable and high-brightness panels are readily ready, with the favourable Turkish lira keeping hire costs well below comparable European markets.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. Our team scopes the monitor package against your camera outputs, video-village layout and director and DP needs, then delivers calibrated, tested displays with the cabling, batteries and mounting hardware to run them. For shoots moving between Istanbul stages and exteriors across Cappadocia. The Turquoise Coast, we plan monitor logistics. Monitor hire from Turkish vendors counts as qualifying spend under the Ministry of Culture and Tourism cash rebates of up to 30%.

Here is how the picture comes together. Field monitors imported for a production clear Turkish Customs under ATA Carnets and short-term-admission procedures, routed through Istanbul Airport (IST) or Sabiha Gokcen (SAW), with Antalya (AYT) serving southern-coast shoots and overland entry from Europe ready given Turkey's position straddling two continents. We prepare carnet schedules so on-board and director's monitors clear without delay alongside the camera package. Climate drives monitor handling and selection: the bright, hot Mediterranean summers of the Antalya coast push shoots toward high-brightness panels and shaded video-village positions for daylight visibility, while cold, snowy continental winters in Cappadocia and the interior bring condensation risk when displays move between temperatures, and the wetter Black Sea coast adds moisture running. Our team supplies sun hoods, weather covers and climate-rated cases as the shoot needs. Mains power is 230V/50Hz, and 20% VAT (KDV) applies to local hire.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What on-camera monitors do you recommend?

For most shoots, we recommend SmallHD 702 Touch or the Atomos Ninja series for their combination of image quality, brightness, and versatility. They give great daylight visibility and useful tools like waveforms and LUTs.

What size director's monitor is standard?

17-inch monitors are common for video village, though we also give 24-inch and 32-inch options for larger setups. The choice depends on viewing distance, number of people tracking, and space constraints.

Can you provide wireless video?

Yes, we supply Teradek Bolt and Vaxis wireless systems for reliable, zero-latency video transmission. These allow directors and clients to monitor without being tethered to the camera.

Do monitors come calibrated?

Yes, we calibrate all monitors before delivery using pro calibration gear. This makes sure accurate color representation across your tracking chain.

What about HDR monitoring?

We give HDR-capable monitors for shoots needing high dynamic range tracking. This has Sony OLED monitors and SmallHD Cine series with appropriate brightness and color gamut.

Can you set up complete video villages?

Yes, we give complete video village solutions including many director's monitors, client monitors, wireless receivers, and all needed distribution and cabling.

Productions in Turkey that need this often pair it with Wireless Video Systems and Monitor & Video Village for full coverage. Most projects also draw on Audio Monitoring Equipment and Lens Filters.
