About this deal

The Portkeys PT6 is an ultra-compact fully, featured monitor for your camera. It’s a pro-grade screen designed to get a decent representation of what you’re shooting rather than relying on the often flakey reproduced image that your on-camera screen will show. The LUT file name is required to be in English or numeric to avoid unrecognized, resulting in incorrect file names. Jon Salmon's short film Fudgie Freddie follows a struggling animator starting to transform into his most popular character, an ice cream cone named Fudgie Freddie. The practical effects and use of a single character created a simple and inexpensive story to pitch Salmon's idea for a feature is something any and every filmmaker can do. The LH5P II is equipped with a lot of software built-in, you are able to adjust picture color, temperature, layout and more to have it display a single just the way you want it, you can also flip the image on the horizontal or vertical axis making this a perfect companion for those for are shooting vertical video for social media. You can also set the display gamut to an option of your choice from bypass, Rec.709, P3-DCI, or P3-D65. You also have the option to upload your own LUT to the monitor so you can see exactly how your video is going to look before applying it in the editing studio, which is a massive time saver when on set.

The other short film is PORTRAIT OF A GOD. Written, edited, and directed by Dylan Clarke, this is largely a once-location, one-person short film that keeps the budget low and the scares high by using amazing sound design and storytelling to challenge religion.

Yellow tools are active, they are Grey when inactive. USB LooksNow the PortKeys PT6 Livestreaming Assist Monitor has been released, which offers livestreaming assists while not breaking the bank. While it won't stream your video from the monitor itself, the built-in tools will help you prep an image for streaming. Let’s take a deeper look to find out what that means. The good news continues when we start to look at picture processing, test and measurement options. This featherweight monitor supports 3D LUTs loaded from USB devices, plus a wide range of overlays, including audio level metering, peaking, false colour, and, best of all, both luma and RGB parade waveforms. The waveforms appear to be updated at the native frame rate of the video signal, without lag, and with enough resolution to look crisp, at least in the small area of the screen they occupy. Hats off to the firmware people: nice work. The price of the Portkey PT6 instantly makes this a bargain considering the monitor’s quality and features you get. The overlays, such as peaking, zebras and false colour, are standard features that anyone shooting video will benefit from. The ability to monitor in Landscape or portrait is also incredibly handy. Monitoring the video is just part of what this dedicated monitor does; it’s also bigger than your camera’s screen and offers increased brightness, resolution and colour depth so that you don’t just get a good idea of how the image will look, you actually get a near as perfect idea of what your capturing.

Video support is offered up to 4K 30p (4096 x 2160 at 24Hz) and can display 100% P3 and Rec.709 in 10-bit. Unfortunately, we're not clear if this is true 10-bit or 8-Bit+FRC like the PT5. According to our sources, all signs point to the PT6 being true 10-bit, which is a likely change.

Support for Tilta Nucleus-N/M motors: with the BM7IIDS monitor, you can control the Tilta Nucleus-M and Nucleus-N lens motors with a wired connection between the monitor and the motor, while also displaying the focus scale. At the rear of the monitor, you will find the battery plate to power the PortKeys PT5. You can use Sony NP-F batteries or Canon LP-E6. Also, you can power it with an external battery via the DC barrel input port. Will prompt “access failed”, you can try again at this time, if not, you can restart the device to try once. Step 2: Enter the [Color] item in the menu main menu and select the [Import LUT ] item, and then execute the item. I don’t get to see many shorts unless executive friends send them around. These two came to me as recs from friends and did not disappoint. I’m excited to see what these filmmakers do in the future.

What makes the small Portkeys PT6 stand out is that it has been designed for streaming; essentially, it has all the pro monitor features, just in a small box that you can easily transport. The monitor includes focus peaking, zebras, and false colour and is 100% DCI-P3 compliant. On the streaming side, this means you can take a feed from your camera at up to 4K and then feed it through the PT6 and output it at streaming-ready 1080p 60fps, and if the feeling takes you, you can even apply a LUT of your choice.

Sampling: the LH7P supports 4K over-sampling to 1080p, just in case your camera can’t perform this internally. The result is a high-resolution and highly-detailed 1080p video signal on your monitor.
