Field Monitors

Here is how this works in practice. We provide field monitors in the screen sizes, resolution and feature sets your camera department needs — from on-camera units to larger director's displays — sourced from Prague's mature gear ecosystem, the monitoring backbone of the 'Hollywood of the East'. Our team selects units compatible with your camera's output signals, calibrates them before delivery and sets up them with your wider gear package for a streamlined prep.

Here is the short of it. The depth of the Prague inventory, built up serving global productions on the Barrandov stages, means HDR-capable and high-brightness monitors for daylight visibility are ready without long lead times. For specialty monitors not held in-country, kit moves freely by road from Germany and Austria within the EU single market and Schengen, with no carnet needed for EU transport.

Here is the breakdown. Field monitoring in the Czech Republic operates across a land-based climate with four distinct seasons. Cold, snowy winters demand condensation control as displays move between heated interiors and exterior units, careful battery running in freezing conditions, and bright-screen monitors for low-contrast snow exteriors; warm summers raise demand for sun-readable displays. Where field monitors feed from wireless video, those links sit on UHF range covered by the Czech Telecommunication Office (Cesky telekomunikacni urad / CTU).

Here is what that looks like on the ground. Non-EU productions importing monitors clear ATA Carnets through Czech Customs (Celni sprava), with Vaclav Havel Airport Prague the main air-cargo gateway. Monitor hire from Czech vendors counts toward qualifying spend under the Czech Film Fund's 20% cash rebate, invoiced in Czech koruna with 21% VAT.
