FAQ

What is the PortKeys LANC Control Cable (40cm) for BM5 monitor - Works used for?

It is used as a Portkeys monitor camera-control cable, not as a general video signal cable. The important question is whether the connector, monitor model, and camera system match your setup.

Will this cable work with every Portkeys monitor?

No. Portkeys cables are model and connector dependent. Match the cable to the specific Portkeys monitor family and the camera or power connection named in the product title before ordering.

Is this cable for HDMI or SDI image feed?

No. This product is for camera-control communication between a Portkeys monitor and a compatible camera, so HDMI or SDI image-feed cabling is still handled separately.

Who should buy this Portkeys cable?

It is for camera operators, assistants, rental kits, and production crews that already use a compatible Portkeys monitor and want a tidy control or power connection on a compact rig.

When should I choose another cable?

Choose another cable if your camera connector, monitor control port, power input, battery system, or cable length requirement is different. For image feed to a monitor, use the correct HDMI or SDI signal cable instead.
