Portkeys BM5 III Monitor

The Portkeys BM5 III Monitor  is a robust 5.5-inch on-camera monitor ready for all your next creative adventures thanks to its compact form factor, daylight-viewable touchscreen, four user function buttons, a full suite of professional monitoring tools, and the capability to control your camera.

The housing of the BM5 III is entirely made of rugged aluminum and has toughened glass in front of the display. However, with a weight of only 351g/12.3oz (without battery), you’ll easily forget it on your camera rig.

With a high brightness of 2,200 nits, shooting outside in bright sunlight is no longer a problem. Each BM5 III WLED display is factory color-calibrated and passes strict hardware controls to ensure the most accurate colors. In addition, the 10-bit (8+2 FRC) panel makes color reproduction more accurate with a rich level of color details and no color banding. This 5.5-inch monitor has a FullHD 1920 x 1080 resolution, a large 178° viewing angle, and a 1000:1 contrast ratio.

Key Features of the Portkeys BM5 III Monitor  

  • A high-precision Waveform that you can display in various modes, including full-screen. Also, you can output the Waveform via the SDI output port. In addition, Histogram and Zebra tools are also here to help you judge your exposure.
  • 3D LUT monitoring and 3D LUT SDI output. You can load custom LUTs via the USB-A port at the bottom of the monitor and the included USB key.
  • ARRI False Color mode and user-defined mode. When you use the user-defined mode, you can freely set the IRE values.
  • A new Peaking algorithm to help you nail focus easily. A Zooming feature is also available.
  • Framing guides, grids, aspects.
  • Image Capture and Image Overlay. Image Capture takes a snapshot of the HDMI or SDI video input (combined with a LUT if desired) and saves it to the monitor’s memory. Then, you can set the transparency/opacity of the Image Overlay. This feature is helpful for shot matching (continuity) or a quick overview of the day’s shots.
  • Anamorphic image de-squeeze.
  • Sharpness, chroma, brightness, backlight, tint, and color temperature adjustments.
