Capable of handling 4K30p video signals, this HDMI-only monitor ensures clear visibility even in daylight with a maximum brightness of 1,000 cd/m2. Serving for long hours continuously, it can be powered effortlessly by a single Sony NP-F battery (sold separately) or externally through the power input. Whether you are a novice in filmmaking or in need of an economically viable second monitor, the Portkeys HD7H combines all the essential features for professional monitoring that you could require. The Portkeys HD7H is an entry-level 7-inch monitor designed specifically for passionate filmmakers and content creators who are operating on a tight budget or simply in need of a budget-friendly secondary monitor solution. Crafted from ABS and PC, this lightweight monitor weighs a mere 278 grams. Furnished in dimensions of only 178 x 104 x 25.8 mm, this compact monitor adds minimal bulk to your camera gear. 7-inch display with a maximum brightness of 1,000 cd/m2 makes it a reliable monitor solution whether you are working indoors or in bright daylight. Impressive viewing angle of 178° owing to a matte screen with anti-reflection coating. The monitor panel displays visuals at 1280 x 720 resolution, covers 75% of the Rec.709 color space, and a contrast ratio of 1000:1 for a clearer and more defined viewing experience. At the bottom of the Portkeys HD7H, you can find all connectivity ports, including a full-size HDMI video input port capable of handling video signals up to DCI 4K at 24p, UHD 4K at 30p, or 1080p at a maximum of 60p. Alongside the HDMI input, there's an AV input port that doubles as a 3.5 mm audio input, and there's also a headphone jack, a USB Type-A port for future firmware upgrades, and a DC 7-24V power input with a 5.5 mm barrel connector for external power provision. The back of the HD7H hosts an in-built Sony NP-F-type battery plate. With low power consumption of just 10 W, a single Sony NP-F750 battery can power up the monitor at full brightness for as long as 10 hours, ensuring you get through an entire day of shooting with ease. While visual clarity is crucial for reviewing your footage, audio quality is not to be disregarded. That's why Portkeys added an in-built speaker at the back of the Portkeys HD7H for optimal footage viewing. At the top of the monitor are two user-assignable buttons for quick enabling and disabling of your preferred monitoring tools. It's also where you'll find the power switch, battery eject, menu, and navigation buttons, positioning all control elements within easy reach. In line with the requirement of flexibility on shooting sets, Portkeys has incorporated three 1/4"-20 mounting points on the bottom, left side, and right side of the HD7H.
