The V8000HDMI LCD monitor features pass through’ inputs for composite, S-Video, and SD/HD component, as well as a new HDMI input. It also has multiple power options, using the DV battery adaptor plates for prosumer batteries from Sony, Canon, JVC and Panasonic, as well as V-mount and Gold mount professional grade batteries.
ikan releases its the next generation, high definition monitor, the V8000HDMI. We’ve taken an already great monitor and improved its versatility with additional inputs and more power options. Just like the original, the V8000HDMI has ‘pass through’ inputs for composite, S-Video and SD/HD component, but now it features the new HDMI input, enabling you to use an array of different devices. The rear of the monitor now features 100mm VESA mounting threads for a variety of mounting options.

The V8000HDMI still has built in battery support, but we’ve totally redesigned it to include a wide variety of options for both the prosumer and the professional alike. For those using prosumer batteries, you can still power the V8000HDMI with the Sony “L” series battery, but now you can use DV camera batteries from Canon, Panasonic and others with our new DV battery adapter plates.
For those using professional grade battery systems, ikan has developed an innovative mounting system. With our Pro Battery system, the battery is actually suspended separately from the monitor, transferring the weight of the battery system to the metal Invert Bracket and away from the monitor housing case. More inputs and a variety of portable power options and an incredibly reasonable price make the V8000HDMI one of the most versatile monitors in on the market today.

When we first saw the iKan V8000HD we knew it was going to be just the right solution for many of our customers. Some are looking for an affordable way to monitor in HD while they are shooting, others wanted a small HD monitor to integrate into a cramped NLE suite, still others found it the perfect solution for their production studio. No matter what you need it for, the V800HD monitors deliver the quality and performance you require at a price you can afford.
This past fall iKan began shipping the V8000HDMI, their second generation, high definition monitor. As the name implies you now get HDMI input in addition to pass through inputs for analog SD & HD video. For under $1,000 it's a great alternative to more expensive monitors costing two or three times as much. The V8000HDMI also gives you the flexibility of using different battery plates for mounting to Canon, JVC, Panasonic and V-Mount systems.
