Portkeys BM7 II DS - 7" is a 7-inch workhorse on-camera monitor which expands many features of our famous BM5 III WR monitor. You’ll still benefit from a crisp, crystal-clear, and daylight-viewable touchscreen display, four user-assignable function buttons, a full suite of professional monitoring tools, the capability to control your camera wired or wirelessly, but with a bigger screen real-estate, more input/output ports, and new video monitoring capabilities.
The housing of the Portkeys BM7 II DS - 7" is entirely made out of rugged aluminum and has toughened glass in front of the display. At the top and bottom of the monitor, you’ll find 1/4″-20 mounting points with locating holes, which adds versatility to mount it in any position/place on your camera rig. With a weight of only 460g/16.2oz, the BM7 II DS is lighter than most competitors’ 7-inch monitors and even lighter than some 5-inch monitors!

The high brightness of 2,200nits makes shooting outdoors in bright sunlight a breeze. The Portkeys BM7 II DS - 7" has a FullHD 1920 x 1080 resolution and a 1000:1 contrast ratio. Also, the 10-bit (8+2 FRC) panel makes color reproduction accurate with rich color details and no color banding. Each BM7 II DS display is factory color-calibrated and passes strict hardware controls to ensure the most accurate colors. Indeed, you’ll benefit from 100% coverage of Rec.709 and 85% coverage of DCI-P3 color spaces.

Despite its 7-inch size and bright 2,200nits display, the Portkeys BM7 II DS only draws 15W of power. You’ll find a built-in dual Sony NP-F-style battery plate at the back of the monitor for hot-swap capabilities, as only one battery is required to power the monitor at full power.
On professional filmmaking sets, we know that the versatility of a monitor is crucial. For this reason, we implemented two industry-standard 7.4-24V power input ports: one with a 2-pin LEMO connector and one with a locking 5.5mm barrel connector (D-Tap to locking 5.5mm barrel connector power cable included).
The Portkeys BM7 II DS has all the video input/output ports you can hope for, with HDMI input/output ports, two 3G-SDI input ports, and one SDI output port. Also, the SDI video output with HDMI cross-conversion ensures perfect video continuity no matter where the monitor is placed in the video signal chain. Last but not least, both the HDMI and 3G-SDI output ports can output a clean video feed, but you can also output the video signal with a 3D LUT applied if needed.

Thanks to the multiple video input/output ports, the Portkeys BM7 II DS allows you to monitor two video inputs simultaneously, thanks to its split-screen monitoring features. Various split-screen modes are available: support dual horizontal, dual vertical, left horizontal – right vertical, and left vertical – right horizontal. Also, a handy 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.

When it comes to monitoring tools, the Portkeys BM7 II DS is packed with all the features you can expect from a professional on-camera monitor, including:

On top of all the professional monitoring features, the Portkeys BM7 II DS is also capable of controlling wired/wirelessly many cameras:
