Professional SDI & HDMI Connectivity

The LS7P features one 4K DCI 30P/1080P60 HDMI input port and one 1080P60 HDMI output port, conveniently located on the bottom left side of the monitor.

At the top of the monitor, you will find four user-assignable buttons that allow you to activate or deactivate your favorite monitor tools quickly.

For future firmware updates and loading custom LUTs, a USB-A port is located at the bottom, along with a 3.5mm headphone jack.

Quick Controls & Mounting Options

The Portkeys LS7P monitor can be powered using a single Sony NP-F battery. With a low power draw of just 13W, a single Sony NP-F970 battery can power the monitor for up to 3.5 hours. Additionally, the monitor features a DC 7-24V power input with a locking DC 5.5×2.1mm barrel connector.

Pro Monitoring Tools for Filmmaking

Powered by MOVNORM OS, the Portkeys LS7P includes a full suite of professional monitoring tools which are highly customizable and easy to use, including:

3D LUT monitoring with 3D LUT output capabilities. Up to 20 custom LUTs can be loaded via the USB-A port at the bottom of the monitor.

Anamorphic image de-squeeze with 10 standard image ratios, including the popular 1.33x, 1.5x, 1.8x, and 2.0x, as well as the option to enter a custom aspect ratio from 0.25x to 4.0x.

Freeze frame functionality, which allows you to capture a frame on a USB stick and compare it with the live image signal. This freeze frame function can be particularly helpful for stop-motion shoots, for example.

Stretch leg tool: when shooting vertically, you can stretch the bottom part of the image. The stretch leg tool feature can be sent to the HDMI output.

Focus tools, including peaking, custom peaking frame, and zoom functions, ensure all your shots are as crisp as possible.

Image analysis and exposure tools, including RGB and Luma Waveform, Vectorscope, Luma Histogram, Zebra, and customizable False Color with 13 different colors, including ARRI False Color.

Framing tools: crosshair, check field, guides, grids, rectangle crop.

Audio meters.

Monitor adjustments: black level, backlight, contrast, color temperature, sharpness, chroma, brightness, tint, HDR/HLG, and image flip (H/V).

Exclusive Log Stops Exposure Tool

Also, the Portkeys LS7P introduces a new exposure tool called Log Stops. Unlike the traditional False Color tool, the Log Stops feature is based on the camera’s actual stop data. This tool is unique to Portkeys monitors and automatically identifies the camera’s LOG signal, regardless of the brand or picture profile in use. The LOG signal is then divided into multiple exposure level zones. Each of these exposure levels can be displayed in a customized mode, either as false color or zebra, and users can turn them on or off as needed. At the time of launch, the LOG signal auto-recognition feature only supports Sony cameras, but support for other brands will be added soon through a free firmware update.

Wireless Camera Control & Autofocus

As the first company to introduce on-camera monitors with camera control capabilities, Portkeys has built years of experience that users worldwide trust. The LS7P features wireless camera control capabilities, which allow you to control a wide range of cameras from brands such as ARRI, RED, Blackmagic Design, Canon, Sony, and Panasonic. It supports popular models, including the Sony FX3, FX30, and FX6, as well as the Canon EOS C80 and C400, among others. You can adjust settings like aperture, shutter speed, ISO, ND filter and white balance directly on the monitor’s screen.

dditionally, the LS7P features Touch Focus capabilities, allowing you to select and move your camera’s focus point directly from the touchscreen.

Even though the Portkeys LS7P is a universal on-camera monitor and can be used with all type of cameras, we pushed the integration with select mirrorless and cinema cameras one step further. The Portkeys LS7P simplifies your workflow and autofocus management. Indeed, with a straightforward tap, users can adjust their focus area easily. This makes the LS7P a powerful and efficient tool on set, eliminating the need to touch the camera’s built-in screen or buttons to change settings, including autofocus parameters.

One-to-Many Multi-Camera Control

The Portkeys LS7P also introduces a unique and versatile feature: the one-to-many control system. This capability enables users to manage and adjust the settings of multiple cameras using just one monitor.

A “master” Portkeys monitor can communicate wirelessly with up to four other compatible Portkeys monitors that have built-in camera control capabilities, all within a range of 50 meters (165 feet). This means you can adjust the settings of all connected cameras, regardless of their brand, from a single location.

In multi-camera shooting environments, this feature enables you to simultaneously adjust settings and focus for multiple cameras without the need for cables. The one-to-many control system is compatible with the Portkeys LS7P, LH7P, LH5PII, BM7IIDS, and BM5IV WR.

What’s in the Box

The monitor ships with a safety box, a 2.4GHz straight mini antenna, a mini USB stick, screen wipes and two screen protectors, and a D-Tap to locking 5.5mm power cable.
