Portkeys LH5P II – camera monitor

Portkeys LH5P II – camera monitor

The Portkeys LH5P II is a professional-grade camera monitor that offers the best value for money in its class. While many monitors in the lower price range skimp on materials, the LH5P II stands out with its bomb-proof all-aluminum chassis and tempered glass screen protector. Weighing just 285 grams, the monitor is a lightweight addition to your camera setup, yet it offers a whopping 2,000 nits of maximum brightness and extensive wireless and wired camera control capabilities.

The monitor features a detachable 2.4GHz WiFi antenna on the back that lets you control compatible Sony cameras directly from the touchscreen. You can change settings like ISO, aperture, shutter and frame rate on the fly, and take advantage of autofocus and Focus Tracking by touching the screen. For Blackmagic Design users, the monitor offers Bluetooth wireless control, and the widely supported wired connections include a range of Sony, Canon, Panasonic and ZCAM E2 cameras, as well as TILTA Nucleus N/M tracking focus motors.

• Ultra-bright daylight display: The 5.5-inch 10-bit (8+2 FRC) panel with 2,000 nits brightness allows for clear viewing even in direct sunlight without color banding.
• Professional-grade colors: Each display is factory-calibrated and covers 100% of the Rec.709 and 85% of the DCI-P3 color spaces, providing a wide and accurate color range (Wide Color Gamut).
• 4K HDMI connections: Equipped with one HDMI input and one HDMI output, supporting signals up to 4K DCI (24p) or 4K UHD (30p).
• Complete monitoring tools: Includes precise Waveform, Histogram, Zebra and Peaking tools, as well as ARRI False Color mode. The tools can be flexibly used either before or after 3D LUT correction.
• Image Capture and Comparison: Image Capture takes a snapshot of the video signal (LUT-corrected if necessary), and the Image Overlay feature lets you adjust its transparency over a new composition to ensure continuity of shot.
• Versatile power supply: Built-in Sony NP-F style battery plate keeps power consumption low (only 13W). The 5-pin aviation connector on the bottom (7-24V) allows unlimited runtime from an external battery, and can also be used to power small camera accessories (max. 5V 1A).
• One-to-Many Multi-Camera Control: Compatible with Portkeys' innovative multi-camera system, where a single "master" monitor can be used to wirelessly control the settings and focus of multiple cameras from up to 50 meters away.
