Profile :

If you're looking for a high quality miniature AV LCD monitor- THIS IS IT! What an OUTSTANDING picture. We've carried it now for over 5 years and still haven't seen a better one (though our VM-70 is basically identical). Razor sharp image and MUCH better quality (contrast ration/ color saturation) in comparison to similar looking mini-monitors, many of which have less than acceptable quality video.

This one's a WINNER. Smart design as it features BOTH an auxiliary power input (to be powered by our BAT-1/3/AAA battery packs or our ACC-AUTO power cord) AND a removable compact battery tray, which can be powered by 8 AA alkaline batteries (1.5v ea.)- or even 10 AA rechargeable batteries (such as 1.2v Ni-Cad nickel cadmium or NiMh nickel metal hydride).

Not only will this take NTSC and PAL formats (switch on side), but it has BOTH audio and video (AV) input AND output ports, making it quite versatile for a wide variety of purposes.

Contrast / brightness / color / tint / audio volume onboard with easy adjustable dial controls on side.

Features a female threaded 'tripod mount', and we even add in a couple of extra 'goodies', like a mating 360 swivel mount and fully regulated AC/DC transformer.

*Please NOTE that this unit is not a "TV" because it doesn't have a television tuner.

Common Applications :

• Wide variety of mobile and portable video solutions
• Remote wireless video applications
• Automotive uses (*please also see our VM-70 with 'reverse-mirror' mode)
• CCTV camera installation aid

Adjustable 360 metal swivel mount included FREE with each VM-56 ordered.

RCA adapter video plug/ cables and fully regulated AC/DC wall transformer included FREE with each VM-56 ordered.

Variations / Alternate Equipment to Consider :

We also carry a very similar version to this, the #VM-70, which features MIRROR-MODE switch for reverse-angle imaging (excellent for rear-view video applications).

Cautions :

Because this features dual power ability from battery pack AND external devices as mentioned above, DO NOT power the monitor from BOTH power sources simultaneously as this will actually double the voltage coming into monitor.

This is a NON-weatherproof monitor, and as such- must be treated with extra care and NEVER left outdoors.
