Field Monitors

Here is how this works in practice. We give field monitors in the screen sizes, resolutions and feature sets a camera department needs, sourced from Morocco's gear base around Casablanca and Ouarzazate and supplemented with pro units flown in from Europe when needed. Our team calibrates each monitor before delivery, confirms compatibility with the camera's output signals, and sets up delivery alongside the wider gear package.

Here is the breakdown. On the ground, Screen brightness is the calling factor in Morocco: with more than 300 sunny days a year and famously hard light, on-camera and director monitors must be genuinely daylight-readable to be usable on exteriors at Ait Benhaddou, across the Merzouga dunes or high in the Atlas Mountains, so we specify high-nit displays and supply sun hoods as standard.

Here is how this works in practice. Desert conditions shape how field monitors are run on a Moroccan shoot. Fine sand and dust work into ports, fans and screen surfaces, so monitors travel in sealed cases, are cleaned frequently and shielded during sandstorm risk. Summer temperatures above 40°C in Ouarzazate and the Sahara can push displays toward thermal limits, so units are kept shaded and ventilated, and cool desert nights bring condensation managed with acclimatised gear. On remote units monitors run off battery and conditioned power packs supply.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. On the ground, Where monitors are fed by wireless video links, that transmission uses range covered by the Moroccan telecoms regulator, the ANRT, and we set up it as part of the package. Monitor hire from Moroccan vendors is billed in dirham (MAD) and counts toward the CCM 30% cash rebates on qualifying spend.
