Review of CineMon: A Professional Video Monitoring Solution for iPad and Mac

CineMon offers a compelling tool designed to convert your iPad or Mac into a sophisticated video and camera monitor, specifically catering to the needs of filmmakers such as directors, cinematographers, camera operators, assistant camera crew, DITs, editors, colorists, and content creators. The application reimagines traditional video assist functionalities, integrating both familiar features and innovative tools aimed at enhancing production workflows, fostering creativity, and simplifying on-set monitoring and quality assurance processes.

The current version provides support for UVC external video sources, allowing some modern cinema cameras and devices to deliver video via USB-C directly. Additionally, users can connect HDMI or SDI outputs from their video sources through compatible USB capture adapters (*Note: these are not interchangeable with standard USB-to-HDMI cables*). Future updates are planned to expand connectivity options, including support for NDI sources.

It is important to note that UVC external camera support is exclusive to iPads equipped with a USB-C port running iPadOS 18 or later.

CineMon also functions as an advanced video player, capable of handling high-speed playback while maintaining efficiency.

Designed with speed and effectiveness in mind, CineMon boasts a download size of less than 5MB. The application loads quickly, initiates swiftly, and operates smoothly—all while optimizing image processing through GPU acceleration utilizing Apple’s Metal3 architecture. This approach minimizes CPU load and extends battery life during intensive use.

Feature-wise, CineMon includes a robust suite suited to professional workflows:

  • Frame & Composition Guides: Grid lines, center marks, title-safe guides, and adjustable aspect ratio framing masks.
  • Advanced Image-based Spot Metering: Customizable middle gray reference points, multiple metering probes, and contrast ratio visualization.
  • Image Transforms: Horizontal flip (mirror), vertical flop, and anamorphic lens de-squeeze support.
  • Image Overlay Tools: Precise blend and wipe controls for alignment, as well as difference mode capabilities for discrepancy highlighting.
  • Color Key Preview & Composite: Basic matte adjustments with live compositing previews against background plates.
  • Focus Assist: Customizable focus peaking colors and intensity levels; edges-only focus mode for difficult focusing situations.
  • Zebras: Independent control over highlight and shadow thresholds; IRE band/range mode for specific exposure management.
  • Exposure & Color Adjustments: Photometrically accurate EV/stops-based exposure control for supported Log signals; adjustments for contrast, saturation, temperature, tint, and hue.
  • Unlimited Display LUTs: Rapid cycling through multiple look-up tables with simple organization and quick recall features.
  • Test Strip Evaluation: Easy assessment of exposure variances at a glance.
  • Advanced False Color Monitoring: Preloaded industry profiles (ARRI, Blackmagic, Atomos) alongside customizable schemes; import/export functionalities for sharing gradients.
  • Precision Video Scopes: Includes histograms (luma/RGB) by default; waveform monitors (luma, colorized, RGB overlay, parade) and vectorscope available with PRO unlocks.
  • Configuration Presets: Save and recall tailored monitoring setups easily; synchronize settings across multiple devices for consistency in both on-set and post-production environments.

CineMon PRO features—denoted with (PRO)—are unlockable via separate bundles or through a subscription plan called the CineMon PRO Pass. This pass grants access to all PRO features across current and future bundles during the active subscription period and includes a free trial opportunity.
