SEETEC monitor P173-9HSD-RM 17.3"""" Rack Mount

SEETEC P173-9HSD-RM 17.3” Rack Mount – Multi-format Broadcast Monitor with 4K HDMI Input/Output

The SEETEC P173-9HSD-RM is a 17.3" multi-format broadcast LCD monitor designed for 4K filmmaking, field production and post production. It offers 4K HDMI input and output alongside a range of professional inputs, making it suitable for broadcast, live production and on-set monitoring.

Built for Stability and Reliability

The monitor uses a full aluminium case to increase durability and improve heat dissipation. This metal enclosure also enhances anti-interference performance, which is important when the unit operates alongside other professional broadcast equipment. As a result, the P173-9HSD-RM aims to keep the whole production system working smoothly in demanding environments.

High-quality Display and True Color

The P173-9HSD-RM features a 17.3-inch Full HD panel with a 1920×1080 resolution to present clear images and wide viewing angles. SEETEC applies the Rec.709 color standard and performs professional factory calibration to deliver accurate color reproduction. In practice, this helps you evaluate input signals reliably and view footage that reflects the original scene without color distortion.

Professional Monitoring Inputs and Formats

This monitor accepts a wide range of input formats to support HD, SD and analogue signals. Available inputs include 3G/HD/SD-SDI, HDMI (with 4K input/output), YPbPr, Audio, Composite Video and DVI. Multiple input options make the P173-9HSD-RM flexible for different workflows across broadcast, field and post environments.

Shooting Assist and On-screen Tools

The P173-9HSD-RM includes a set of professional auxiliary functions to assist during shooting and monitoring. SEETEC provides dedicated controls and an OSD designed with quick access in mind, including four programmable function keys and a knob for rapid operation. These tools help you focus, check exposure and composition, and verify signal quality directly on set.

Power is flexible: you can run the monitor from a DC adapter or from lithium batteries. The unit ships with a V-mount battery plate as standard and also supports an Anton Bauer battery plate if you prefer that system. This makes field powering and quick swaps straightforward when you work on location.

For mounting, the monitor includes a U-shaped bracket with three mounting points and standard-sized holes. The bracket uses 1/4" threaded holes that let you hang the monitor from rigs, attach it to camera supports, or set it up on a table for crew monitoring. The mounting arrangement is compatible with third-party rigging equipment.

Sunshade and Usability

The monitor includes an extended, portable sunshade to improve on-screen visibility in bright environments. The sunshade helps you acquire an ideal visual effect in a wide range of lighting conditions, from studio to outdoor shoots.
