The PORTKEYS LH5C is a high-density, ultracompact 5.4-inch daylight-viewable on-camera touchscreen monitor engineered to integrate critical exposure analysis with direct, low-latency wired camera control for solo cinematographers, gimbal operators, and commercial videographers. Delivering a sharp 1920×1152 resolution with an 800 cd/m² (nits) high-brightness panel and a 1000:1 contrast ratio, the LH5C cuts through reflective ambient daylight while maintaining a lightweight footprint tailored for compact camera cages and motorized gimbals. The panel covers 85% of the wide DCI-P3 color gamut—fully enveloping standard Rec.709—ensuring accurate broadcast- and cinema-grade color reproduction across wide 178-degree viewing angles.
Distinguishing itself as a comprehensive rig command hub, the LH5C features a dedicated wired camera control interface compatible with major cinema and mirrorless platforms, including Sony, Canon, Panasonic, Blackmagic Design, and Z CAM. Utilizing the included control cables, camera operators can adjust exposure and operational parameters—including iris/aperture, shutter speed, ISO, white balance/color temperature, frame rates, motorized zoom, and record start/stop—directly on the monitor’s capacitive touchscreen, including direct touch-to-focus area selection. The monitor inputs video up to UHD 4K at 30p over HDMI and outputs a clean 1080p60 loop-through signal to wireless transmitters or director monitors. Outfitted with custom 3D LUT importing via USB, a full suite of image evaluation tools (waveforms, histograms, false color, peaking, anamorphic de-squeeze, and image overlay), a built-in Sony L-series (NP-F) battery plate with DC camera power pass-through, and a protective snap-on sunhood, the LH5C delivers an agile, production-grade monitoring package in top-tier shape.
