Camera monitor

<p>A camera monitor (or external monitor) is a <a href="/facts/Computer_monitor/NRaTDFHc">monitor</a> that attaches externally to a <a href="/facts/Digital_camera/LSGTserm">digital camera</a> to aid with <a href="/facts/Photography/ezLPT43M">photography</a> and <a href="/facts/Cinematography/Umcgh4GC">cinematography</a>. Camera monitors typically have larger displays than the built-in monitors on consumer cameras, and are also usually brighter and able to reproduce color better. Consumer friendly units use <a href="/facts/HDMI/HuNwzm04">HDMI</a> for connecting to the camera, while higher end camera monitors may also offer <a href="/facts/Serial_digital_interface/T9VlXM56">SDI</a> connections.
</p><p>While some are powered by a single <a href="/facts/Battery_(electricity)/bqEpm4ue">battery</a>, others can be powered by two batteries and offer a hot swapping capability. It's not uncommon for an <a href="/facts/AC_adapter/zyGpmNcX">AC adapter</a> to be available as well for indoor photography or filming.
