Furthermore, the 5-pin aviation power port can be used to power small accessories with a max power of 5V 1A.

A Variety of Professional Features

The Portkeys LH5P II’s professional monitoring features include:

• • Image Overlay and Capture. Image Capture takes a snapshot of the HDMI video input (if desired, combined with LUT) and saves it to the monitor’s memory. The Image Overlay’s transparency/opacity can be set. This is an especially useful feature for continuity shot matching, or a quick overview of the shots you have taken throughout the day.
  • Tint, chroma, backlight, brightness, sharpness, and color temperature adjustments.
  • High precision Histogram, Waveform, and Zebra tools. You can monitor the video signal before or after the 3D LUT.
  • Anamorphic image de-squeeze with all the standard ratios (1.33x, 1.5x, 2.0x), and the ability to enter a custom aspect ratio from 0.25 to 4.0x.
  • A new peaking algorithm allows you to easily nail focus.
  • User defined mode and ARRI False color mode. When utilizing the user-defined mode, the IRE values ​​​​​​​​​​can be freely set.
  • 3D LUT monitoring. You can load custom LUTs through the USB port at the bottom and the included USB Key.
  • Cropping features allow you to zoom wherever you want inside the image.
  • Framing aspects, guides, and grids.

The Portkeys LH5P II can additionally control many cameras both wired/wirelessly:
