Ikegami Announces VFE-P711AD 7-inch OLED Multiformat On-Camera Viewfinder

Ikegami has chosen IBC 2025 in Amsterdam as the launch venue for a major addition to its range of viewfinders. The new VFE-P711AD is a 7-inch high resolution OLED model compatible with all UNICAM-XE and UNICAM-HD cameras.

An integrated waveform monitor and vectorscope plus audio level metering further enhance the VFE-P711AD’s operability in the field. The viewfinder also incorporates two front-facing green/red tally indicators plus a rear-facing red tally. All accessories that fit the existing VFL-P700AD LCD model are compatible with the new OLED viewfinder. These include fixed and hinged field hoods, a studio hood, an above-camera viewfinder mount, cables and a carrying case.

The VFE-P711AD supports digital interfacing to a UNICAM-XE camera or can be connected via a VFC-700i5 analog cable to any camera in the UNICAM-HD series. The viewfinder can also be used as a field monitor for an external 3G-SDI feed. Power can be sourced directly from the camera or external 12 volt DC, allowing standalone operation. Energy consumption is approximately 12 watts. Dimensions and weight of the viewfinder are 232 x 150 x 73 mm WHD, 1.1 kg.

The new VFE-P711AD 7-inch OLED viewfinder will be available in four different versions:

  1. Pack S with standard attachments for mounting on a portable camera head with ENG lens.
  2. Pack A allowing enhanced pan/tilt operation on a portable camera head with ENG lens.
  3. Pack B allowing enhanced pan/tilt operation on a system expander (SE-U430) for box lens applications.
  4. Pack C for enhanced pan/tilt operation on a studio camera head (UHK-X750/-X650).
