The Lilliput Q23 8K 23.8" 12G-SDI/HDMI Broadcast Studio Monitor is a versatile 23.8-inch UHD display designed for professional video production. It supports up to 8K via Quad-Link 12G-SDI inputs, features HDR support, and includes a V-mount battery plate for field use. With a 3840 x 2160 resolution, 300 cd/m² brightness, and wide 178° viewing angles, it delivers accurate, high-quality monitoring in studio or on location.

High-Resolution 8K Support

The Lilliput Q23-8K features a 23.8" UHD display with a native resolution of 3840 x 2160, capable of supporting up to 8K60 via Quad-Link 12G-SDI inputs. This ensures you can monitor ultra-high-definition footage with precision, whether you're working on studio shoots or high-end field productions. The monitor automatically scales incoming signals to fit the UHD screen, eliminating the need for external converters or scaling devices.

Flexible Connectivity Options

This monitor offers versatile input and output options including four 12G-SDI inputs and outputs, HDMI 2.0 input and output, and an SFP+ slot for optional fibre connectivity. These connections cover a wide range of professional broadcast and production workflows, allowing seamless integration with cameras, switchers, and other video equipment. The inclusion of SFP+ support is particularly useful for long-distance fibre runs, reducing signal degradation and latency.

Accurate Colour and HDR Support

The Q23-8K supports HDR formats such as ST2084 and HLG, delivering a wider dynamic range for more detailed highlights and shadows. It also allows the loading of custom 3D LUTs in .cube format via the front USB port, enabling quick colour grading previews and consistent colour workflows. Supported log formats include SLog2, SLog3, CLog, NLog, ARRILiog, and JLog, which helps maintain colour accuracy across different camera systems.

Essential Monitoring Tools

Designed with professional needs in mind, this monitor includes a comprehensive suite of monitoring tools such as peaking, false colour, exposure, histogram, check field, image freeze, pixel-to-pixel, timecode display, screen markers, and colour space options. These tools help you assess focus, exposure, and colour fidelity on set or in post-production, reducing guesswork and improving workflow efficiency.

Power Options and Portability

Equipped with a V-mount battery plate, the Q23-8K can be powered on location using standard V-mount batteries, offering flexibility for field use without relying solely on mains power. For studio environments, a 12 VDC power supply is included to run the monitor from an AC outlet. This dual power capability ensures continuous operation regardless of your shooting environment.

Remote Control and Calibration

The monitor supports RS-422 remote control via RJ45 connectors, allowing integration with computer applications and enabling control of multiple monitors simultaneously. This is particularly useful in multi-monitor setups or remote operation scenarios. Additionally, the Q23-8K supports colour calibration using an optional PRO/LTE version of ColourSpace CMS, helping maintain accurate and consistent colour reproduction over time.

Customisable User Interface

Four assignable buttons on the front panel let you quickly toggle essential monitoring functions without navigating through menus. This feature saves time during fast-paced shoots and ensures critical tools are always within easy reach, helping you stay focused on capturing the perfect shot.
