Portkeys released four new on-camera monitors and two new electronic viewfinders.This is a brand with a strong reputation in the video and photography industries. The lineup is listed below:

Features and specifications of various monitor products

LS7P

It features a 7-inch (approximately 17.8 cm) 1920 x 1080 resolution 10-bit panel and supports high brightness display up to 1000 nits (cd/m2). Since it is color calibrated to the REC.709 standard at the factory, it can be used immediately with accurate color reproduction.

Portkeys’ new proprietary exposure tool, “Log Stops,” is included. Based on the camera’s stop data, this tool automatically identifies the camera’s LOG signal, regardless of the camera brand or picture profile being used.

Equipped with HDMI and 3G-SDI inputs and outputs, it supports a wide range of systems, from cinema cameras to broadcast equipment. It also allows for SDI input to HDMI output conversion (but not the other way around), making it flexible for use in situations where multiple pieces of equipment are combined. Furthermore, it supports outputting video with 3D LUTs applied.

It can wirelessly control cameras from ARRI, RED, SONY, Canon, Nikon, Panasonic, Blackmagic Design, and others. Various functions such as REC, focus, ISO, shutter speed, and white balance can be controlled from the monitor (depending on the camera model).

Up to four compatible Portkeys monitors with built-in camera control functions can be connected and communicated wirelessly within a 50m range. This allows you to control the settings of all connected cameras (compatible models only) from a single location.

It features an NP-F based dummy battery plate, allowing wireless receivers and other devices to be powered from the main unit’s power supply. Since it can be mounted left, right, up, or down, it can be used without worrying about the position of the receiver’s antenna.

HD7T

This is a lightweight and simple 7-inch (approximately 17.8cm) HDMI monitor. With a high brightness of 1000 nits (cd/m2), images can be viewed clearly even in bright sunlight. A hood (and mounting bracket) is included.

The IPS screen provides a wide viewing angle and natural color reproduction. Furthermore, the non-glare screen allows for use without worrying about fingerprints or other smudges.

It features professional monitoring functions needed on set, including waveform, vectorscope, histogram, false color, zebra, and peaking. Furthermore, it supports 3D LUTs, allowing up to 20 different LUTs to be loaded via USB.

By using high-density engineering plastic, it achieves high durability while maintaining a lightweight body of approximately 245g.

LH5C

This on-camera monitor features a 5.4-inch (approximately 13.7 cm) panel with a resolution of 1920 x 1152, a 10-bit (8+2 FRC) display, and a brightness of 800 nits (cd/m2). It covers 100% of Rec.709 and 85% of DCI-P3.

It features professional monitoring functions needed on set, including waveform, vectorscope, histogram, false color, zebra, and peaking. It also supports 3D LUTs, allowing you to load up to 20 different LUTs via USB.

Wired camera control from Nikon, Sony, Blackmagic Design, Canon, Panasonic, ZCAM, and others can be performed via the touchscreen.

Because it can be powered via USB-C, it can be easily used for on-location shooting and other similar purposes. Furthermore, with a low power consumption of 7.5W, it can operate for more than 2 hours on a single small Sony NP-F550 battery.

It features a freeze frame function, convenient for stop-motion photography and other applications. Frames can be saved to a USB memory stick.

PT5 III

This compact 5.4-inch (approximately 13.7cm) touchscreen full HD monitor weighs only about 155g, is USB-C powered, and is perfect for on-location shooting and other casual uses.

With 1/4-inch (approximately 6.35mm) screw holes on the bottom and sides, it allows for highly flexible shooting.

It features an HDMI input compatible with 4K DCI 30p and an HDMI output compatible with 1080p60, allowing for flexible connection to external monitors and streaming equipment.

It features professional monitoring functions such as waveform, histogram, peaking, false color, rectangular crop, stretch leg, and 3D LUT monitoring. Additionally, the 360° color grader function allows for precise adjustment of specific color ranges within the video.

With a low power consumption of 7W, a single compact Sony NP-F550 battery can power the device for over two hours.

Features and specifications of various electronic viewfinder products

LEYE III [HDMI Specification]

This electronic viewfinder features a 2.4-inch (approximately 6.1 cm) LCD with 8-bit color depth, a resolution of 1440 x 900 pixels, a contrast ratio of 1100:1, and a brightness of 450 nits (cd/m2).

Supporting 4K 30P HDMI input, it allows for high-definition viewing of high-resolution camera footage. This makes it easier to judge focus accuracy and color reproduction, providing a reliable video checking environment for various applications.

The diopter adjustment ring allows for diopter adjustment within a range of +8D to -3D. Additionally, a sponge eye mask ensures visibility even when wearing glasses.

It features monitoring functions such as 3D LUT, waveform monitor, histogram, zebra, focus peaking, and false color, allowing for precise control of exposure, color, and focus.

The bottom has three 1/4-inch (approximately 6.35 mm) screw holes, as well as a slot for an ARRI camera.
