SEETEC P215 PRO – 21.5-inch Full HD Monitor with 1000nit Daylight Viewable Brightness and 4K@60Hz HDMI
The SEETEC P215 PRO is a high-quality monitor designed for broadcast studios, live production and crew outdoor shooting. It supports SD/HD/3D-SDI and up to 4K HDMI@60Hz video formats. You can power it via XLR, DC IN or the built-in V-mount battery plate, making it suitable for both location battery use and continuous DC power. The monitor also includes camera auxiliary functions to help photographers compose shots on-site and to reduce post-production time.
Clear 21.5-inch Full HD IPS Display
The P215 PRO features a 21.5-inch IPS panel that delivers a wide field of view and high resolution for detailed image checking. The display presents 8-bit color depth with 16.7 million colors, which helps you see subtle color and tonal differences during shoots.
Color Accuracy and Calibration
Each unit ships calibrated using CalMAN professional calibration software to ensure true color presentation out of the box. This factory calibration helps maintain consistent color reproduction across cameras and workflows.
High Brightness and HDR
With 1000nit brightness, the P215 PRO is daylight viewable in most lighting conditions, whether you work indoors or outdoors. The monitor supports HDR monitoring and includes three built-in HLG modes (HLG1, HLG2, HLG3) so you can reproduce a greater dynamic range and better reflect the visual effects seen in the shooting environment.
4K@60Hz HDMI for Smooth Motion
The HDMI input supports 4K at 60Hz, capable of transmitting double the video data of 4K at 30Hz. This provides smoother visuals and preserves high-frame-rate motion from modern cameras, which is useful for dynamic shoots and action sequences.
Load and Preview Custom LUTs
The P215 PRO makes color grading and on-set looks easier. It supports loading up to 32 custom 3D LUTs via USB, including .cube files or built-in LOG presets. You can instantly select between looks to maintain creative intent and speed up early-stage color decisions.
Comprehensive Monitoring Tools
The monitor includes accurate waveform monitoring and a variety of scopes to assist technical monitoring and broadcast workflows. Available monitoring tools include:
- Waveform (RGB Parade, YUV Parade, Y Parade)
- Vectorscope
- Histogram
- Audio phase and level displays
You can open these functions individually or use one key to open all scope modes. When a function is active, you can adjust its horizontal and vertical position. These features make the P215 PRO well suited for live production monitoring.
Connectivity, Power and Operation
The P215 PRO offers multiple input and output ports to match modern camera systems: SDI, HDMI and DVI. It includes XLR and DC IN power inputs and a V-mount battery plate so you can use battery power or plug into DC power. The monitor also supports Anton Bauer batteries (optional). For teamwork during shoots, it provides front and rear tally lights.
Operation is simplified with intuitive button controls and support for 11 different languages. Mounting options include a desktop stand and VESA mount points for wall installation, giving flexible placement on set.
Use Cases
- Broadcast studio monitoring where accurate waveforms and color are required.
- Live production environments that need scope overlays and tally lights for crew coordination.
- Outdoor and location shoots that require daylight viewable brightness and battery operation.
