The Portkeys BM5 IV is a rugged and fully-featured 5.5-inch touchscreen monitor with DCI 4K60P HDMI input/output ports, 3G-SDI input/output ports, wired camera controls, and a full suite of professional monitoring tools powered by the entirely revamped CINENORM OS.
Thanks to a housing made of aluminum alloy and toughened glass in front of the display, the BM5 IV series monitor is designed to endure the most demanding shooting conditions daily.
The BM5 IV is lighter than their predecessors, weighing only 358g (without battery). The bevels around the screen are now thinner, resulting in a smaller form factor and dimensions of only 145.4 x 91.4 x 39.6mm.
Whether shooting indoors or outdoors, the Portkeys BM5 IV is daylight-viewable with a high brightness of 2,000 nits. The monitor displays are factory color-calibrated, but if needed over time, you can use an X-Rite color probe to create a calibration 3D LUT.
Accurate color reproduction with rich color details and no color banding has never been easier with the 10-bit (8+2 FRC) panel. The 5.5-inch monitor have a FullHD 1920 x 1080 resolution, a large 178° viewing angle, and a 1000:1 contrast ratio.
Designed for professional filmmakers and content creators, we know that versatility on set is crucial. The Portkeys BM5 IV feature multiple video input and output ports, including HDMI input and output ports that can take resolutions up to 4K DCI at 60P.
There are 3G-SDI input and output ports (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.
Also, with HDMI cross-conversion, the BM5 IV can be placed anywhere you need in the video signal chain. Lastly, thanks to the two video input ports, you can view two different video signals simultaneously with multiple viewing modes, including picture-in-picture mode, dual horizontal, dual vertical, left horizontal/right vertical, and left vertical/right horizontal.
The bottom of the monitors also has a USB-A port for future firmware updates and loading custom LUTs. On the left side, a 3.5mm headphone jack allows you to monitor your video signal. At the back of the monitor, there is a 5-pin aviation connector port that can connect to TILTA Nucleus N/M wireless follow focus, which allows users to control focus motors. The focus scale can even be displayed, which makes it very handy for focus pullers.
The Portkeys BM5 IV is the perfect companions of 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, Colour, and Edge enhance modes are also available, as well as a Zooming feature.
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, crosshair, check field, rectangle crop, 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. The Portkeys BM5 IV has a maximum power draw of only 16W and can be powered for hours by one Sony NP-F-style battery at the back of the monitor.
Designed with versatility in mind feature a 4-pin aviation 7.4V- 24V power input port. If you use a V-Mount or Gold-Mount battery, you can power the monitors infinitely with the included D-Tap to 4-pin aviation cable.
Similarly to its predecessor, the Portkeys BM5 IV has wired camera control capabilities.
Here is a list of all the cameras supported by the BM5 IV:
Sony: a plethora of cameras can be controlled wired, via a LANC, USB-C, or MULTI control cable, including the Sony FX3, FX30, FS5, FS7, FX6 and FX9.
