The Portkeys MT22DS P3 is a set-ready 21.5-inch production monitor which is daylight-viewable, color-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 1,200 nits, the Portkeys MT22DS P3 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 color reproduction more accurate with rich color details and no color banding. Lastly, each MT22DS P3 display is factory color-calibrated and passes strict hardware controls to ensure the most accurate colors, with 97% P3 color space coverage.
The durable housing of the MT22DS P3 is entirely made of rugged aluminum with twelve 1/4 “-20 mounting points on the monitor. This production monitor weighs 5.8kg/12.7 lbs, and the built-in carrying handle at the back makes it easy to transport and move the monitor on set. Also, the Portkeys MT22DS P3 comes with a removable table stand so that you can put it on a table quickly. Lastly, the VESA-standard mounting points make placing the monitor on a light stand easy (an optional VESA to light stand adapter can be purchased separately)
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 P3 has a wide range of powering options. First, if you have access to mains power, there is a 4-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 P3 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 P3 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.
