PortKeys is proud to announce for NAB 2023 three new monitors in two different sizes. The BM7ⅡDS is a 7″, and the LH7P and the MT22DS is a 21.5″. The features are vast, from camera control and wireless connection as well as the ability to control a follow focus, all from the touch screen and some very bright options.
PortKeys LH7P 7″ 1920 x 1080 on-camera monitor
The PortKeys LH7P is a 7″ 1920 x 1080 on-camera monitor with a built-in Wi-Fi device that allows it to control select Sony and Blackmagic cameras wirelessly. Supports 4K oversampling to 1080p, resulting in high resolution, high detail 1080p video.
WIFI Wireless Touch Control Cameras
The way this wireless camera control works with Sony cameras is that you connect up to the generated PortKeys WiFi network on the camera, and then you will be able to control certain parameters.
The parameters you can control depending on the camera being used. If you are using the a1, a9 II, a7C, FX3, RX10, a7S III, and a7 IV you can control quite a few options on the monitor, including the ability to do touch focusing.
Bluetooth Wireless Control of the Camera
On the BMPCC 4K, 6K, and 6K Pro, you need to connect up the Bluetooth to the PortKeys monitor to enable camera control. The functionality you can adjust wirelessly on the monitor when using the Blackmagic cameras is pretty comprehensive.
