PIX-E5 & PIX-E5H

Quick Start Guide

Welcome

Thank  you  for  purchasing  the  Video  Devices  PIX-E5  or  PIX-E5H  recording  field 

 

monitor. These recording field monitors are extremely versatile devices with many 

advanced features and capabilities. 

The PIX-E5 features both HDMI and SDI inputs and outputs, while the PIX-E5H has 

HDMI I/O only. Because this guide was written for both monitors, some features—

like those related to SDI—described in this guide apply only to the PIX-E5, not the 

PIX-E5H.

* Do not discard the USB boot cable. In the extremely unlikely event that power is lost during a firmware update and 

the monitor becomes inoperable, the USB boot cable and a computer may be used to reinstall firmware and recover 

operation. Should this occur, contact Customer Support for proper recovery procedures. 

This Quick Start Guide provides the necessary steps to setup and begin using 

your  monitor  right  out  of  the  box.  It  also  provides  a  brief  overview  of  features, 

 

warranties, and licensing information.
