The monitor is compact and lightweight, measuring just 188 x 110 x 28 mm and weighing 348 grams. Able to support 4K resolution at up to 60 Hz, the 2000-nit ultra-bright high-resolution wide-angle display has a wide enough dynamic range to handle complex lighting environments, especially during outdoor shooting. A detachable easy-to-use sun hood is included for use when shooting in challenging light angles. The screen comes with all the necessary monitoring tools and functions, including 3D LUT support, gyroscope, focus peaking, false colour and anamorphic de-squeeze. It also offers custom LUT import to allow seamless colour consistency from on-set monitoring to post-production. The DC-A1 can also support input and output via lossless, high-definition HDMI 2.0 in 4K resolution at 60Hz and its quiet cooling fan automatically adjusts speed according to the temperature of the monitor, ensuring stable operation.

The standard package provides everything needed for immediate use, including a robust hard carrying case, custom-designed tilt and swivel mount, NF-F550 battery, convenient quick-release sun hood, custom-fit screen protector, HDMI cable, mini HDMI cable, and USB-C power cable.
