Just as Cineroid, Alphatron plans to make an EVF loupe that uses the iPhone retina display screen, manufactured by LG.
As you may know this display has a high quality and a screen with 960×640 pixels on a very small space which is almost twice as many pixels as the commonly used 800×480 displays. The EVF is manufactured and developed by renown company TVLogic.

Next to the high screen resolution the Alphatron EVF-035W-3G will also feature:
– HDMI in
– HD-SDI (3G/HD/SD-SDI) in
– HDMI out
– HD-SDI (HD/SD-SDI) out
– Headphone jack
– Various Scan Modes
– Markers, User Aspect
– Zoom, Blue Only
– HD Video 3G Level A/B
– Audio Level Meter
– Time Code Display
– Range Error, Zebra Pattern,
– Luma(y’) Zone Check, Focus Assist
– Internal Colourbar + Pluge Pattern
– HDMI-to-HDSDI Conversion Out
– HDMI~HDMI A. Loop Through
– SDI~SDI A. Loop Through
– Adjustable Diopter
– Manual Lens Shutter for protection of the EVF
– Power: NP-F Battery (not included), External DC 6-15V

The Alphatron/TVLogic EVF will become available at the end of May at $1395 (1095€)

Very similar in terms of features and pricing the Cineroid EVF will probably come in late July at $1100
