About the Marshall Electronics M-LYNX-10W 10" Widescreen 16:9 Lynx LCD Monitor
The Marshall Electronics M-LYNX-10W is a professional 10-inch widescreen LCD monitor designed for on-camera and on-set monitoring in film, video production, and broadcast applications. It features a high-brightness, anti-glare panel with a native 16:9 aspect ratio, making it ideal for monitoring HD and widescreen SD video feeds directly on a camera rig, jib arm, or field production cart. The monitor is engineered for outdoor and bright-light usability, employing advanced backlighting and optical bonding techniques to enhance visibility and reduce reflections, allowing directors, camera operators, and focus pullers to accurately assess framing, exposure, and focus even in challenging lighting conditions. Its compact and lightweight aluminum housing is built to withstand the physical demands of location shooting while providing essential monitoring features in a portable form factor.
A key strength of the M-LYNX-10W is its comprehensive connectivity and versatile power options. It is equipped with both HD-SDI and HDMI inputs, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of professional cameras and video sources, from DSLRs and mirrorless cameras to high-end cinema cameras and broadcast gear. The monitor also includes a standard composite video input for legacy equipment. It offers flexible powering via an included AC adapter or directly from a V-mount or Anton/Bauer style battery plate (often optional), making it an integral part of a mobile camera setup. On-screen displays (OSD) provide access to critical tools such as focus assist (peaking), false color exposure tools, waveform monitors, vectorscopes, and customizable overlays like aspect ratio guides and center markers, empowering users to make precise technical decisions on set.
Designed for field production efficiency, the monitor includes user-friendly features such as a headphone jack for audio monitoring, stereo speakers, and a reversible sunhood. Its mounting options are extensive, featuring multiple 1/4"-20 and 3/8" threaded holes on the sides and bottom for secure attachment to various rigs and arms. The Marshall M-LYNX-10W balances a robust feature set with a practical, field-oriented design, delivering a reliable and high-quality monitoring solution that supports critical visual decision-making for cinematographers and video professionals who require a durable, accurate, and highly visible display outside the controlled environment of a studio.
