Portkeys BM5 IV

The Portkeys BM5 IV is the 4th iteration of Portkeys' 5.5-inch, high-bright camera monitor. The BM5 IV retains the robust design of previous generations, but gets several new hardware and software updates. These include an HDMI output port, the new CINENORM OS software with custom pages, a stop-based false colour exposure tool, panel calibration, camera control for ARRI and Nikon cameras and more.

The new Portkeys BM5 IV has the same 5.5-inch panel as the previous generation, with 1920x1080 resolution and a maximum brightness of 2000 cd/m². The panel is protected by an all-aluminium chassis that now houses an upgraded CPU, allowing the BM5 IV to run the new CINENORM OS.
