Portkeys MT22DS 21.5" Production Monitor with 3D LUT Support

The Portkeys MT22DS is a 21.5-inch professional production monitor, offering 1,000 nits of brightness and a durable aluminium alloy build. It features two 3G-SDI, one GPI, and one HDMI input, along with 3G-SDI and HDMI outputs supporting cross-conversion. Additionally, it includes two XLR audio outputs with 48V phantom power and a full suite of advanced monitoring tools for precision.

The Portkeys MT22DS is a set-ready 21.5-inch production monitor which is daylight-viewable, colour-accurate, durable, and that has all the input and output ports you can think of, making it the perfect versatile tool for camera assistants, DITs, DPs, or as the centerpiece of the Video Village.

With a maximum brightness of 1,000 nits, the Portkeys MT22DS is a daylight-usable production monitor that does not fear outdoor shooting in bright sunlight. This 21.5-inch display has a FullHD 1920 x 1080 resolution, a 1000:1 contrast ratio, and a large viewing angle so everyone one set can enjoy crystal clear images. Also, the 8bit panel makes colour reproduction more accurate with rich colour details and no colour banding. Lastly, each MT22DS display is factory colour-calibrated and passes strict hardware controls to ensure the most accurate colours, with 100% Rec.709 colour space coverage.

Furthermore, we included two built-in Sony NP-F battery plates at the back of the monitor with pass-through power to power wireless video receivers; that way, you'll have fewer cables on your production monitor, and you don't need to worry about the battery life remaining on your wireless video transmitters.

Designed to be used everywhere and on all kinds of productions, the Portkeys MT22DS has a wide range of powering options. First, if you have access to mains power, there is a 3-pin XLR 12-24V power input. On location, the two V-Mount battery plates at the back of the monitor will come in handy. On the audio side, with the two built-in full-size 3-pin XLR connectors with 48V phantom power, you can embed audio signals to the SDI output, which can be helpful in live streaming shooting conditions.

When it comes to video input and outputs, the MT22DS has everything you can hope for from a professional production monitor, including two 3G-SDI inputs, one GPI input, one HDMI input, one HDMI output, and one 3G-SDI output. If you need more, you'll benefit from cross-conversion from every direction, from HDMI in to SDI out, and from SDI in to HDMI out. The 3G-SDI and HDMI outputs can output a clean video feed, but you can also output a 3D LUT and peaking if needed.

The Portkeys MT22DS supports multiple viewing modes, including dual horizontal, dual vertical, left horizontal - right vertical, and left vertical - right horizontal when you switch to dual-screens mode.

Also, a left horizontal and right vertical cropping of the same source makes your life easier when you need to view your video signal simultaneously in 16:9 and 9:16 aspect ratios for social media.You can view two or three video signals simultaneously, which is exceptionally handy in multi-camera shooting environments. When you switch to triple screens mode, you can rotate the screen 90° and mirror the screen.

Besides that, when you switch to a single screen, you can vertically or horizontally crop the screen. Also, all screens can load the same 3D LUT and custom JPG picture freeze frame.

The MT22DS has all the monitoring features you can expect from a professional production monitor, including:

• Support two sets of custom calibration LUTs for the screen calibration.
• A high-precision Waveform that can be displayed full-screen. Waveform SDI output is also possible. Histogram and Zebra tools are also available.
• 3D LUT monitoring and 3D LUT HDMI/SDI output. You can load custom LUTs via the USB port at the bottom of the monitor and the included USB key. Furthermore, monitoring tools can be set before or after the 3D LUT.
• ARRI False Colour mode and user-defined mode. When you use the user-defined mode, you can freely set the IRE values.
• A new Peaking algorithm to help you nail focus easily. A Peaking Frame mode can be activated only to apply Peaking to a defined image zone.
• Zooming feature with rectangular image custom crop allows you to zoom in on the part of the image you want precisely.
• Framing guides, grids, aspects.
• Image Capture and Image Overlay. Image Capture takes a snapshot of the HDMI or SDI video input (combined with a LUT if desired) and saves it to the monitor's memory. Then, you can set the transparency/opacity of the Image Overlay. This feature is helpful for shot matching (continuity) or a quick overview of the day's shots.
• Anamorphic image de-squeeze with all the standard ratios (1.33x, 1.5x, 2.0x) and the possibility to enter a custom aspect ratio from 0.25 to 4.0x.
• Audio meters.
• Sharpness, chroma, brightness, backlight, tint, and colour temperature adjustments.
