SEETEC monitor ATEM156-CO HDMI 15.6"""" Video Monitor with Flightcase

SEETEC ATEM156-CO – 15.6" Multiview Director Monitor with 4x 4K HDMI Inputs and Carry-on Aluminium Case

The SEETEC ATEM156-CO is a 15.6" multiview director monitor built for location shooting and live production. It combines a Full HD IPS panel, multiple 4K HDMI inputs, and a handheld aluminium flightcase to make multi-camera monitoring practical on set and on the move.

Display and image performance

The monitor uses a 15.6” IPS LCD with Full HD 1920x1080 resolution. It delivers accurate reproduction with a contrast ratio of 800:1 and an LED backlight rated at 250cd/m². You get wide viewing with a 170° angle horizontally and vertically, which reduces color shifts when the screen is viewed from different positions.

Professional monitoring functions for production

SEETEC configured the ATEM156-CO with the monitoring functions crews commonly need for pre-shooting and post-production checks. It supports quad view, dual view and single view modes, enabling multi-camera monitoring in the field. The monitor also includes professional focus and exposure tools to help you capture usable images quickly.

Focus-checking and image-assist tools include:

• Peaking Focus
• False Color
• Pixel to Pixel

Framing and composition aids include:

• Center Marker
• Safety Marker
• Grid Marker

Other available monitoring controls include Image Zoom, Check Field, Image Freeze and Color Temperature Adjustment to help you verify shots and maintain consistency across camera sources.

Simple front-panel operation

The ATEM156-CO has a straightforward control panel designed for quick changes on busy shoots. Four dedicated HDMI buttons let you switch sources rapidly. You can also assign and call up functions using four programmable shortcut keys (F1–F4), which keeps routine actions fast and consistent.

True color with factory calibration

SEETEC follows the Rec.709 HD color standard and applies factory color calibration using professional instruments. This calibration helps the monitor reproduce color accurately so the image you see on set reflects the real footage without color distortion.

Carry-on aluminium case for location work

The monitor ships in a carry-on aluminium case designed for handheld transport. The front and rear covers disassemble for quick access to the screen and signal connections. This design speeds setup and teardown, helping crews move between scenes and start work faster.

Design focused on efficiency

The ATEM156-CO’s layout and case are optimized for fast deployment on shoots with frequent scene changes. The simplified setup reduces the time needed to go from packed to operational, which is especially useful for field production where speed matters.

Inputs, outputs and multiview capability

The monitor provides 4x 4K HDMI inputs and 4x HDMI outputs. You can connect up to four cameras, game consoles, computers or other HDMI sources and loop out those HDMI signals to other devices. This makes the ATEM156-CO useful for studio environments and live multi-camera workflows where signal distribution and previewing are required.

When your switcher lacks multiview, such as ATEM Mini models, you can use the ATEM156-CO to preview each camera before sending program output to air. This reduces the risk of blind cuts and helps you verify each source before it goes live.

Flexible power options

The rear panel includes a 12V DC input and a V-mount battery plate. Use the 12V DC input for continuous power in controlled environments or attach a V-mount battery for mobile, outdoor applications. This flexibility lets you run the monitor from mains power in a studio or from batteries on location.

Use cases and live production

With multiview capability and a protective portable aluminium case, the ATEM156-CO suits studio work, filmmaking and live events. It provides a practical and portable option for crews that need to monitor multiple cameras and quickly adapt to changing shoot conditions.
