* 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.
CINENORM
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 to 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 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.
