About SeeMo Pro SDI
The SeeMo Pro SDI is the world’s first affordable professional MFi certified SDI and HDMI adapter that acts as a video capture terminal for iOS connecting via Lightning or USB-C. The low latency, high-quality image (up to 1080/60P) that it produces easily bests camera maker’s in-built Wi-Fi monitoring solutions. There is 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.
In addition to monitoring SeeMo Pro SDI can also stream HD video directly to popular streaming platforms like YouTube from your camera. This is without the need for a cumbersome laptop or extra boxes, right from wherever you are using your iOS devices cellular or Wi-Fi connection.
SeeMo Pro SDI can also record a H.264 HD video direct from your camera to your iPhone or iPad’s camera roll. This makes instant sharing of clips for social media from your camera much easier. You can also use this as a backup to your main footage on your camera, or even use them to edit videos when time is of the essence.
SeeMo Pro SDI is powered by Sony NP-F type batteries or via a professional 2 pin DC connector. Together they create a continuous power solution that allows users to change batteries without having to power down. The SeeMo Pro SDI can also trickle charge your iPhone on iPad while in use.
Because the SEE app is built on iOS it can be easily updated in a way other monitors cannot. Accsoon are continually refining, updating and adding features to the SeeMo Pro SDI and SeeMo HDMI via app updates.
