Accessory News

by Heath McKnightYesterday

Following the release of the Kinefinity EAGLE SDI e-Viewfinder in July 2024, the company has introduced an HDMI version. It comes with the same 0.7-inch HD Micro-OLED display, zero delay, lower power consumption, lightweight and compact design, and many other features. Let’s take a closer look!

Kinefinity was founded in 2012 and has released a variety of production tools, including cinema cameras like the KineRAW-S35 (their first) and the newest MAVO Edge 6K/8K. Plus, the MAVO mark2 S35/LF cinema camera and MAVO EFP 8K broadcast camera. 

The company also has a range of accessories that include the KineMON monitor, the KineMAG Nano SSD, and the KineEVF viewfinder.

Kinefinity EAGLE HDMI e-Viewfinder – features

The new Kinefinity EAGLE HDMI e-Viewfinder works with many different professional cameras featuring HDMI, including cinema cameras, mirrorless, and DSLR. Most of the features found in the EAGLE SDI e-Viewfinder are also present in the HDMI version: Lightweight and compact design (weighing only 348g or 12.28 oz), real-time and sharp image capture without any delays, accurate focus and exposure adjustments, and silent operation.

But the real star of the show is the EAGLE HDMI e-Viewfinder’s 0.7-inch HD Micro-OLED 1080p display with zero delay. It ensures a clear, sharp, and accurate image thanks to advanced 10-bit color processing and overall quality optical design. It supports 1080i, 1080p, and 1080PsF video signals, along with frame rates ranging from 23.97 to 60 fps.

It is highly responsive and features a fast start-up thanks to an FPGA-based hybrid processing architecture. It also comes with focus and exposure assistance tools such as focus peaking, waveform, false color, histogram, and SDI metadata.

The Kinefinity EAGLE HDMI e-Viewfinder also features a built-in diopter, which can be adjusted from -6D to +2D. This is great for shooters with different vision needs, with accommodations from 600 degrees of myopia to 200 degrees of hyperopia.

Kinefinity added an HDMI Type-A input port and a loop-out port so that it can work with multiple monitors simultaneously. It’s powered by a PD USB-C method with 3W low power consumption. And because there is no internal fan, the e-Viewfinder will operate silently. It has a replaceable Rosette design, 1/4″-20, M6 threads, and a Quick-Lock Mount.

Price and availability

The Kinefinity EAGLE HDMI e-Viewfinder is available now and starts at $1,199. Two other options include the Core Kit ($1,399) and Pro Kit ($1,649), which come with different accessories. And, to celebrate the launch of the EAGLE HDMI e-Viewfinder, they are offering a 10% discount until January 25, 2025. You can learn more and make your purchase on Kinefinity’s website.
