Another feature is that you can capture JPEG images and then overlay them in real-time to compare frames which is handy if you need to do repeat set-ups.

Specifications
Price & Availability
I don’t have any indication yet of pricing or availability as this monitor won’t be officially announced till NAB.
It looks like an interesting monitor and if it is competitively priced, which I am sure it will be, it might make for a nice alternative to more expensive offerings.
