Also, 3G-SDI input and output ports support resolutions up to 1080P60. The SDI video output can output a clean video feed, but it can also output the image with a 3D LUT and peaking if needed. The BM5IV WR can be placed anywhere you need in the video signal chain with HDMI cross-conversion.

Thanks to the two video input ports, you can view two different video signals simultaneously with multiple different viewing modes, including picture-in-picture mode, dual horizontal, dual vertical, left horizontal/right vertical, and left vertical/right horizontal.

The Portkeys BM5IV WR is the perfect companion for directors, cinematographers, directors of photography, focus pullers, and filmmakers with all the monitoring features you can expect from a professional on-camera monitor, including:

  • Exposure: Zebra, False Color, ARRI False Color, LOG False Color, and user-defined mode. A high-precision waveform that can be displayed full-screen. Waveform SDI output is also possible. Histogram and Zebra tools are also available.
  • Image analysis: with Waveform, Luma and RGB Waveforms, Vectorscope, Luma and RGB Histograms, and Audio Meters, you can judge your exposure and white balance parameters with ultimate confidence.
  • Focus: nailing focus has never been easier, thanks to the new Peaking algorithm. Grayscale, Color, and Edge enhance modes are also available, as well as a Zooming feature.

Portkeys BM5IV WR LOG False Color

  • Color: 3D LUT monitoring and 3D LUT SDI output. Users can load custom LUTs via the USB port at the bottom of the monitor and the included USB key. An HDR (HLG) mode is also available.
  • Framing and Image Monitoring: precisely frame your shots with multiple tools, including framing guides, grids, crosshairs, check fields, rectangle crop, and aspects. Also, the monitors support anamorphic image de-squeeze with all the standard ratios (1.33x, 1.5x, 2.0x) and the possibility of entering a custom aspect ratio of 0.25 to 4.0x. Lastly, the Image Capture feature allows you to take a snapshot of the HDMI or SDI video input and save it to the monitor’s memory. Then, you can recall the image and adjust its transparency/opacity with the Image Overlay feature.
  • Monitor Adjustments: You can adjust the sharpness, chroma, backlight, tint, and color temperature. Users can also load a 3D calibration LUT via the USB port.

On top of all the professional monitoring features, the Portkeys BM5IV WR is also capable of controlling more than 80 cameras from eight different brands wired/wirelessly, including:

  • RED DSMC2 and KOMODO, KOMODO-X, V-RAPTOR, and V-RAPTOR XL cinema cameras: the BM5 IV WR is RED-approved and can connect wirelessly to KOMODO/V-RAPTOR series cameras. You can change your camera settings directly from the monitor and even touch to focus.
  • Wireless control of the ARRI Alexa Mini cinema camera.
  • Wireless control of the Nikon Z8 and Z9 mirrorless cameras.

Portkeys BM5IV WR Camera Control

  • Sony: a plethora of cameras can be controlled wired/wirelessly, including Zoom and Touch Focus capabilities on the Sony A1, A7M and II/III/IV, Sony A7S II/III, Sony A6000/6300/6400/6500, Sony RX0 and RX10, and so on. Also, multiple cinema cameras are supported via a LANC, USB-C, or MULTI control cable, including the Sony FX3, FX30, FS5, FS7, FX6 and FX9.
  • The monitor supports Bluetooth connection and camera control for Blackmagic Design users with the BMPCC 4K, 6K, 6K Pro, and URSA Mini Pro 4.6K.
  • Canon: wireless control of the EOS R5, EOS R6/R6 Mark II, EOS R7 and EOS R8. Wired camera control is also available for the Canon EOS C70, EOS C300 Mark II/III, and EOS C100/200/700.
  • Panasonic: support for the LUMIX S1/S1H/S1R/S5/S5 Mark II/S5X Mark II via a USB-C cable. The Panasonic BGH1/BS1H supports wireless camera control.
  • Wired control is also available for ZCAM E2 cameras.

* Wireless control does not mean wireless video transmission; the video signal cable still needs to be connected.

Lastly, the optional REC Key can be connected to the Portkeys BM5 III WR and gives you an extended recording switch.

To complete all of the video and power input/output ports, there is also a USB-A port for future firmware updates and loading custom LUTs at the bottom of the monitor. On the monitor’s left side, a 3.5mm headphone jack allows you to monitor your video signal.

When it comes to power, with a low power draw of only 17W despite the highly bright 2,000 nits display, the built-in Sony NP-F-style battery plate at the back of the Portkeys BM5IV WR can power it for hours.

Furthermore, if you use an external battery to power your camera rig, the 4-pin aviation and the new industry-standard 2-pin LEMO 7.4V-24V power input ports can power your monitor infinitely. The 4-pin aviation 7.4V power output can also power small camera accessories, such as a wireless follow focus motor.

At the bottom, top, and right sides of the monitors, you’ll find 1/4″-20 mounting points with locating pins to mount the BM5IV WR anywhere you want. At the top of the monitors, you’ll find four user-assignable function buttons to quickly access your favorite monitoring tools.

The Portkeys BM5IV WR is powered by CINENORM OS, a new operating system that has been entirely redesigned from the ground up.

CINENORM OS is now based around a new custom page system. There are seven custom pages where your favorite monitoring tools can be added and stored. With a simple swipe to the side, switching from exposure to focusing on framing tools has never been easier. Your monitor settings can be saved on a USB stick, so you can import and load your user profile to any Portkeys monitor running CINENORM OS and get up and running within seconds.

All monitor tools have now been categorized into six categories: exposure, focus, waveform, monitoring, color mixing, and dual screen. This categorization makes searching, finding, and adding tools to each page faster without browsing all of the 25+ monitoring tools.

CINENORM OS also integrates multiple camera control improvements, including:

  • Fan adjustment: even if Portkeys monitors are relatively quiet, sound on set can be crucial. When a compatible camera is connected to a Portkeys monitor running CINENORM OS, the fan of the monitor will slow down to its lowest settings to reduce noise on set.
  • REC button: it is now possible to adjust the position of the REC button to the lower left, middle, or right.
  • REC trigger tools: when pressing the record, one or multiple monitoring tools can be turned on automatically, such as peaking, zebra, or waveform, for example.
  • Function button assignment: you can now assign camera control settings to the F1-F4 physical buttons. This feature is handy to quickly recall an ISO, white balance, or aperture setting with one button press.

A new monitor status bar allows you to clearly see the device connection, WiFi and Bluetooth switches, video input signal status, battery information, and panel calibration.
